    Your wish can become reality. You can convert to Judaism, and Islam positively welcomes converts.

    You would be very incorrect.

    Palestinians do not care about LGBT rights. Social justice.

    They care about honor and their land.

    Why are you such a blatant racist?

    You could try asking someone in the Jewish Museum in Portobello about access.

    Spent a week in Israel back in April.

    Israeli women are the most attractive women on earth. There's no doubt in my mind. Gal Gadot is just an average looking Israeli over there.


    You obviously haven't been to Lebanon or Iran.

    I’ve been to Israel, Lebanon, and Iran. I think they’re all quite evenly matched in this department, although Israeli women are more diverse lookswise due to coming from all over the place. I think Beirut as a city slightly edges it though. Armenia and Yerevan in particular are also very much in the same category.

    I grew up in south Dublin with our lovely Jewish neighbours across the road. Always gave us a hearty Christmas greeting, attended all the funerals of the neighbours, very familiar figures in the churches. We learned about and respected their traditions. Lots of Jewish people in my district we were all at least on nodding terms with.

    is there anywhere to seek information as to how to gain access to the cemetery on Aughavanagh Rd.
