An Anglican cleric, Canon David Oxley, delivered a controversial sermon accusing Israel of employing a “master race” ideology during a Remembrance Sunday service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. The high-profile audience included Irish President Michael D. Higgins, Lord Mayor of Dublin James Geoghegan, Minister Darragh O’Brien, and representatives from various political parties, alongside military personnel past and present.

Oxley’s remarks, described by critics as a “hijacking” of the solemn event, suggested that Israelis view themselves as intrinsically more valuable than others, leading to the “elimination of others as a matter of course because they don’t count.” He further labeled Israel’s actions as the “horrible blasphemy of the master race in action.”

The speech has drawn sharp condemnation from Jewish leaders and others who accuse Oxley of using a solemn occasion to propagate anti-Israel rhetoric.
