Michael Keogh - Irishman who saved Hitler
Keogh was duty officer at a Munich barracks when he was called to quell a riot that had erupted in a gym. What he saw was not exactly a fair fight.
A crowd of some 200 soldiers was kicking the living daylights out of just two. Some of the attackers were brandishing bayonets. The two victims were about to die.
Keogh ordered his men to fire a salvo over the heads of the mob. It did the trick. He dragged the two victims out of the gym "cut, bleeding and in need of the doctor".
It was a measure of Hitler's madness that he had entered the hall to provoke a reaction from 200 troops, by hectoring them with views that were already openly hateful.
As Keogh dragged him off to the guardroom for his own safety, the future fuhrer continued to spew angry comments.
Once there, Keogh recalled: "The fellow with the moustache gave his name as Adolf Hitler. It was the Lance Corporal of Ligny. I would not have recognised him. He was thin and emaciated from his wounds."0 -

The father of a two year old boy's in absolute despair after having his head blown open. A fellow boardsie retweeted the uncensored image last night, and it's really struck a chord with me.... If you haven't seen it, I wouldn't be in a rush to find it. There's a lot of images within this thread that will upset or distress people, but this is the worst I've seen
And I'll say this, if this doesn't shake the world, then **** it, the world is broken.

Blazing fires burn across the heart of a city.
This is not Baghdad after a US airstrike. This is not Kosovo. This is not Cairo. This is not any war-torn city, with military action taking place.
This is Belfast, on the evening of the 12th of July. The fires of the Orange Order. The fires of sectarianism, hatred and apartheid. These fires of hate and racism rival the burning crosses of the KKK.
Effigies of Catholics, Sinn Féin/SDLP posters, Irish tricolours, etc. are all regularly burned atop these massive bonfires. These bonfires symbolise hatred and religious sectarianism.
Neither side is right. I have no love for the Republican sectarians in the North. I have no love for Sinn Féin. But the Loyalist/Unionist/Orange-Order side of the North had one thing that the Republican/Nationalist side did not; a huge groundswell of support from those in power in the North. Their actions were not sanctioned, but a greater blind eye was turned to them.
The fires of hatred, sectarianism and violence still burn strongly in the North, despite all the progress made in the past decades.0 -

The Bath School Massacre is pretty disturbing reading. In 1927 it shared front page newspaper headlines at the time with Charles Lindbergh flight over the Atlantic. The massacre took the lives of 44 people (45 include the killer) of which 36 were children at a local school.
The murderer, Andrew Kehoe, left this message for the survivors. He murdered his wife who was stricken with TB, blew up their home, burned down their farm buildings with 2 horses trapped inside, blew up part of a school and then drove to the school as efforts were ongoing to save those trapped in the rubble or dying from the explosion and detonated explosives in his car, killing more people. He had filled the car with pieces of metal and other shrapnel, injuring and maiming others with deadly debris.

Israel was founded after WWII by taking land belonging to Palestine and giving it to Jewish people who had suffered in Europe, since then they have taken more and more land for themselves causing Palestine to shrink and rebel. Years of fighting and biased media means both sides don't seem to have a clue what the story is anymore.

Oh very good. Such a complicated background, goes right back to the end of world War 1 really...
(why did they have to find a Home for the Jews?
It's mentioned further down "Whereas recognition has thereby [i.e. by the Treaty of Sèvres] been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine, and to the grounds for reconstituting their National Home in that country" they could have found their own way "home" or settled in Europe?)
I was skimming the wiki
This last sentence^^:eek:. Just asking for trouble. That link there 88 is a good read.On 15 May 1947, the General Assembly of the newly formed United Nations resolved that a committee, United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), be created "to prepare for consideration at the next regular session of the Assembly a report on the question of Palestine".[78] In the Report of the Committee dated 3 September 1947 to the UN General Assembly,[79] the majority of the Committee in Chapter VI proposed a plan to replace the British Mandate with "an independent Arab State, an independent Jewish State, and the City of Jerusalem ... the last to be under an International Trusteeship System".[80] On 29 November 1947, the General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union as Resolution 181 (II).[81] The Plan attached to the resolution was essentially that proposed by the majority of the Committee in the Report of 3 September 1947.
The Jewish Agency, which was the recognized representative of the Jewish community, accepted the plan, but the Arab League and Arab Higher Committee of Palestine rejected it.[82] On 1 December 1947, the Arab Higher Committee proclaimed a three-day strike, and Arab bands began attacking Jewish targets.[83] The Jews were initially on the defensive as civil war broke out, but gradually moved onto the offensive.[84] The Palestinian Arab economy collapsed and 250,000 Palestinian-Arabs fled or were expelled.[85]
On 14 May 1948, the day before the expiration of the British Mandate, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel".[86][87] The only reference in the text of the Declaration to the borders of the new state is the use of the term, Eretz-Israel.[88]David Ben-Gurion proclaiming Israeli independence on 14 May 1948, below a portrait of Theodor Herzlwolfpawnat wrote: »But they are two entirely different ethnic groups, they will not see eye to eye, and in the eyes of the Palestinians, why should they be bullied off their land by what they see as foreigners. The Israelis are taking more and more land off the Palestinians, bulldozing homes, schools and hospitals to build their own settlements illegally according to the UN, and putting more Palestinians into a smaller and smaller area. They don't want to integrate with Palestinians, they want to eradicate them at this stage.

They're off their land and it's too late to redraw a Map, Israel would just do what Palestain have done in the past, ie not happening. They can't keep going the way they have been, the people on the news/I read about just want to live their lives, would they really care about a constantly moving imaginary line in the Sand?Capt'n Midnight wrote: »No, because the Palestinians would outnumber the Jews in less than a generation. If you allowed the exiles back they would already outnumber them.
Since the UN kinda started this why do they do nothing/sit around while kids are blown up playing Football on a Beach?
You just need the next Generation to grow up together.
I'm probably talking out my arse, but if I'm so tired of looking at them fighting, how can they feel?0 -
