    It's not illegal when it doesn't break any laws.

    Are you serious? The occupation and settlements are a flagrant violation of a number of UN resolutions.

    That doesn't excuse it's actions I'm afraid. Israel is as much of a terrorist state as any other states around it.

    Regardless - even if Israel was a morally sound state (Which it isn't) - It still wouldn't excuse it's actions regarding settlements, bulldozing down of people's houses, and stopping legitimate aid from reaching an impoverished people.
    Well when they shout Allah Akbar and then blow themselves up, you can see why the tensions are high and Israel do bad things in reaction. Not excusing it but it goes in roundabouts.

    Lets not do that here. Destroying that lie will see the thread closed
    It's no lie that Israel's existence doesn't break any international laws. Therefore it can't be called illegal. Whether or not it's wrong is another matter.

    Settlements aren't a reaction to any bombings. They are a conscience move to expand Israeli territory.

    And yes - You were excusing it.

    Israeli settlements are illegal I agree with you there. But there is nothing illegal about it's existence.

    But Isreal's BEHAVIOUR breaks dozens of them.

    Who said anything about Israel's existence? I made it perfectly clear that we were referencing Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territory. Israel is perfectly entitled to exist on the land defined as per the 1967 borders. Anything beyond that is illegal.

    How do you know that? Perhaps they wake up one morning and say, the let off a bomb last night, lets knock down their homes.

    So why exactly are you arguing with me if you agree that the settlements are illegal? Where exactly did I make a reference to the existence of Israel being illegal?

    A misunderstanding. We're in agreement on Israel so.

    Read my post again.

    No one is saying that all Unionists are Nazi BNP supporters but certainly the BNP are organising themselves in Loyalist working class areas. I hope they fail and don't win over the hearts and minds of most of the people in those areas.


    The nf, c18, bnp have been trying to organise in working class loyalists areas for decades and have still got no were

    There has been countless dissident bombs in the last year. Doesn't mean the VAST MAJORITY of republicans support them.

    Same with that argument. A boring argument to be honest.

    Lol. You can't deal with the issue without the 'us and them' factor.

    They're two different issues. I can happily discuss the current militant Irish republicanism with you no problem. You on the other hand can't deal with the issue of racism/sectarianism abuse in loyalist areas witout trying to deflect the issue.

    Nope. I’m just pointing out the stupid logic in the argument. Trying to put across the point that there is a real racist link in Loyalism and groups like C18 and the BNP and Loyalists is just stupid.


    They are a tiny minority. Just like dissidents are in the republican movement. Now what is there to discuss? I can't do anything about them, just like a lot of republicans can't do much about the dissidents.

    Why would you want to lock this thread when your all doing such a great job if selling us your so called united Ireland. You have all left me and Keith with the impression that our culture will never be welcomed in your so called united Ireland.

    That is why your opinion should never, and will never be taken seriously. You support Israel, only because nationalists support Palestine. It is reactionary politics, and an archaic mindset to have.

    You neglect the reality that Israel bulldozes down houses of Palestinians evicting them from their own land - so that they can create illegal settlements at the expense of the local population.

    the 2 unionist chuckle brothers on here aren't a good advert for unionism thats for sure. unbelievable ignorance being shown.

    Fact is people like you will never be presuaded, but people like you won't need to be.

    He will be in Afghanistan killing people for oil on behalf of the British government.

    He can't even accept he lives in Ireland (which is an island) and doesn't even accept northern Ireland is part of the island of Ireland. We don't need to persuade people who say things like 'so called united Ireland' he can't even accept Ireland is an island made up by 2 states. When these irrefutable facts are ignored its clear its a waste of time even talking to them.

    Frankly people like him have had it their own way for far to long, to the detriment of the Irish people as a whole and the nationalists in the North. If he can't accept that he shares an island with us why should be bend over backwards to persuade him? His ignorance on southern life and irrational fear of a united Ireland is laughable.

    Even when the Irish people vote for a united Ireland there is talk of 'loyalist resistance' anti democratic nonsense from them. Ive no interest in 'persuading' these people, its a waste of time. Just let nature run its course and the people will vote for re unification without needing to persuade.
