Irish Hypocrisy

    Our state was born of rebellion against the British state as much as Israel was. In truth they were more in need than us and fought as much. So it's ridiculous that we judge them for defending their hard fought nationhood.

    If travellers decided they wanted an independent state we wouldn't tolerate them launching missiles at us.

    You kind of have that the wrong way round, the Israeli's are the British of the M.E and the Palestinians are the Irish.

    Anyhoo, IBTL.

    Isreal are the occupying Nation. Stole land of the Palestinians. Isreal have the most sophisticated defence systems money can buy, Palestine has hiace vans and a sewer pipe.

    Your really mixed up there buddy, no offence but what you just posted doesn't make sense.

    This video was posted elsewhere, maybe watch it and come back with a clearer picture of reality than what you posted.

    Some could consider the use of stones, slash hooks and sulkies as Traveller acts of terrorism.

    The halting sites are like the occupied territories or Townships..

    Its amazing the lengths some Israeli sympathisers will go to, to try & justify what they are doing in the middle east. Lets be clear about this, Palestinia was provoked into launching rockets into Isreal, what would you expect your people to do if their country was being slowly eradicated by a foreign aggressor that has no business in your land in the first place. What the hell does that have to do with Britains colonization of Ireland????

    ?

    The Zionists (Israelis) were terrorists, according to the Brits, for a long time.

    They ran them out of Palestine, as it was called, and created a new state called Israel.

    Palestine was Ottoman before the Brits got there and that wasn't very Arab either so it was just a big pile of sand waiting for some investors.

    I don't mean to be condescending but... [insert anything here]


    Israel had a rebellion against the British occupation of Palestine and won very successfully. Perhaps we're jealous.

    Threads need a better basis than "I'm right and you're wrong", particularly when we already have a heated Israel/Palestine thread running.

    moderately,
