It's funny that so many Shinners support Hamas and not Israel since the historical parallels between the Jews and the Northern Irish Catholics are so strong.Why was it 'Okay' for the British army to bring guns into Ireland, but not the IRA?
I'm so, so sick and tired of the State of Israel and it's gung-ho, 'screw you' attitude to the rest of the world that I just wish it would vanish up it's own bum-hole. We'd all sleep better at night.
The same people who armed the Saudis armed Israel. The British, Americans, Dutch, Swedish, French, Russians and Chinese are also arming countries in the Middle East. Christians, Jews and Muslims all claim a divine right in the Middle East. That's why they call it the Holy Land.You've got to take a look at who armed them to the teeth. And the reasons for so doing. And while you're at it, check out the Jewish connections to the USA/Brit media. And if you're really bonkers, read why they regard these actions as a Divine right - in the sacred book (available in all good newsagents).
I don't support Sinn Fein, or any political party because none of them represent my views. I have no other comment to make on this.It's funny that so many Shinners support Hamas and not Israel since the historical parallels between the Jews and the Northern Irish Catholics are so strong.
That doesn't answer my question.In answer to your question; the same thing that made it OK for the Irish government to bring them in to this part of Ireland but not the IRA.
That doesn't answer my question.
During the Irish war of Independence, was it 'okay' for both sides to arm themselves?
I would like to know who is picking up he bill to repatriate these people back to Ireland?
I presume the Dept. of Foreign Affairs is. In fairness they are Irish citizens and while I disagree with their methods I admire their courage and it does highlight the plight of the people of Gaza, if in a simplistic and anti-Israeli way.
BTW, did anyone notice the protest marches in Israel, protesting against the actions of the IDF and government. Good to see a democracy in action.
Right, so while we were part of the UK we participated actively in empire building but once we got our independence we got to forget about all that. Kind of like a child saying "Game over!... New game!" BTW, I never suggested that Ireland had an empire, I really don't understand where you got that from. I simply pointed out that we were part of the UK and the UK had an empire.
Your thesis seems to be that actions by Irish people before 1922 don't count because we were ruled from London.
It's a nice idea but the reality is just a little bit more complex than that.

Ffs, we had to fight to practice our religion, then we were let starve, then we had to fight for independence, so obviously we were on the inside all along... Sinn fein famously had an abstentionist policy so we ABSOLUTELY can distance ourselves from the actions of a colonial occupier pre independence. P.s. Is this a wind up?, are you Kevin Myers having a laugh?
Oh please!! give it a rest already! I'm about to lose my dinner and I spent the last 2 hours cooking it.
One of my wifes best friends from high-school is an israeli doctor/tank commander who posted loads of shots of himself on Facebook,standing in front of Merkava tanks, during operation Cast Lead (you know, the one where they fired white-phosphorus shells at civilians?) Apparently he's going to be back in the country of his birth next month for a knees-up. I'm looking forward to a frank and open debate with him about why it's wrong to counterfeit the passports of friendly nations so you can go about assasinating people in 3rd party countries and the relative merits of air-burst shells over the ones that hit the ground before they go off. No doubt he'll enlighten me as to how they got the plans to reproduce the Berlin Wall and fascinate me with regaling stories of how one of his tanks took out a journalist on live TV because the journalist had the temerity to point a TV camera at said tank. Remember that one? Think it was about a year ago. Abit after his mates in the infantry shot-up a screaming and terrified small kid crouching beside a wall with his Dad killing both of them too.
Should be a night to remember. I'll keep you posted.
Yes, it tis a good thing to see indeed. Now, if only the gazians would march and protest about hamas, that will be good as well. Oh wait though...
That is the internal opposition and the IDF are getting on with murdering the rest. Very soon there won't be many left so israel will get the lot and if I recall that was the object of the excercise from day one. Then the west(usa) will have a nice buffer state in the middle east in case the oil is turned off.
