From what I understand the EU has a similar “Attack on one is an attack on all” defense pact as NATO. Imagining a world where Ireland drags France and Germany kicking and screaming into a war with Israel.

They'll make up some excuse not to because the Irish that are there would be branded as radicals or something

They would say that the Israeli attack was accidental and didn't intended to kill and that they should not be there anyway. This would not be said by France or Germany, but for the Irish government itself.
