    promulgating present participle of prom·ul·gate (Verb)
    Verb
    Promote or make widely known (an idea or cause).
    Put (a law or decree) into effect by official proclamation.

    I learnt something new today.

    I'm just going to wait and what people say about you using the word promulgating.

    The word Publishing would probably be more appropriate than Promulgating. It is possible that other opinion pieces have been published in the Irish Times which would be more in accordance with the OP's views. If they have an issue with any article they can write to the editor. Or just stop reading the paper. But it is very intolerant to want it closed down.

    How is that an anti Semite article as regards Israel. Opposing Zionism is not anti Semitism. Its like saying someone is anti German for disagreeing with the national socialist party of the 30s 40s in Germany.

    I don't like a lot of lefties but disagreeing with zionism is not anti semitic.

    It is a disgusting anti-semitic article.

    The editor is on lefty crack for all I can see.

    The Irish Times and Israel have a bit of a history.

    Two perfectly standard opinion pieces, which you can agree or disagree with. So what?

    Did you register here just to sound off about todays IT?

    I hate this left-wing bad mouthing, it's becoming tiresome. As if the extreme right is a better solution, my hole it is.

    Don't John Waters and Breda O'Brien have weekly columns?

    If you actually clicked on the links, you'd find that they're not in today's IT.

    Extreme left opinion pieces are fine, but don't expect anyone to continue reading (i.e. buying) if that's the editorial policy.

    They're moderately right wing; not extremists.

    left-wing extremism, radical feminists, the sky is falling! too much hyperbole in one thread already... :eek:

    Right then! Don't read it. Read the Indo or the Herald for more right wing style views.

    If you want hyperbole, you should read that pro-Planned Parenthood article.

    Proselytising would be a better word.

    It's Ireland's paper of record and I take everything within its broad pages as Gospel.

    Thats an Israeli site and it says settlers in Haifa pouring scorn on the idea when Haifa houses a large influx of settlers from the former Soviet Union.

    I suspect your beef though is with its Abortion article rather than its Israeli article. I always suspect people who register and immediately go on campaigns of one sort or another.

    You wont really convert anyone.

    Yes that's right. The Oirish Times is highly regarded in Israel.

    They're fairly extreme in their views tbh.Nothing extreme about the articles you linked to. Aren't opinion pieces allowed in your world?

    For me anyway I find the Lefties and the Righties have one thing in common, they regularly confuse opinion with fact. Both are best ignored in favour of the moderate.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    So promoting a left wing eugenicist movement is ok? That would mean John Waters and Breda O'Brien subscribe to fascism. Which they don't.

    Who knows it might be - they reported extensively on the Wars in Lebanon which had a huge impact on Israeli life. Its come out in many ways not least in art. Maybe you should watch the film Waltz with Bashir.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ezra_pound


    Op needs to be able to discern truth from propaganda. Extremist Israeli Zionist site calls Irish times racialist. Shock horror!

    Ah the Centristies are the worst of the lot.

    A 'left wing eugenicist movement', I keep searching but can't find such a movement in either article.

    Neither can I CF and I'd be more to the right of center than left of it.
