Hamas strike on Israel

Jesus that has to be the worst anti Irish statement that any of the pro israeli posters have ever come up with. Lucky we didn't initiate the the icj court case or it would be wall to wall posts denigrating ireland here.

You are saying the Irish love to support terrorists. That is an anti Irish cliche. People can hate and have a poor view of their own country, which you have displayed in your post.

Your argument is that they don't want the rest of the middle east?

BTW, you turned it into a comparison. I wasn't making a comparison. I was pointing out that even with groups as intransigent as the DUP, peace still happened. And mose specifically I was pointing out that we are not a society where everyone is always happily compromising. And that to say all of the muslim world is unable to compromise is at best stupid. But let's face it, it's also racist.

BTW, SF refused to recognize the Irish republic for years. they refused to accept the existance of NI. Unionist created a two tier society where oppression was used to keep down nationalists/catholics. There's a lot of similarities between the two.

Set up another thread?

I didn't bring up the NI peace process, someone else did. They said it wasn't relevant to the discussion because all Muslims are incapable of compromise. I was pointing out the there are parties in NI that are intransigent. I pointed out that there are groups that refused to recognize either the republic or NI and yet they still managed to come to an agreement. And I pointed out that to claim all muslims are incapable of compromise is pretty racist. They're taking a billion people and saying they're all the same. Weirdly, that's not getting any objections from the pro israel crowd. Are they fine with a sweeping statement about muslims? Are you?

And I never mentioned tolerance. Look at what I wrote. You're arguing with the idea you created in your head, not with me. And it's a stupid argument. You're saying that Palestinians are intolerant because despite churches existing in Palestine, there's none in saudi? That would be like me saying that Irish catholics are intolerant because some christian town in the US tried to ban a mosque.

So please stop inventing stuff and blaming me for it. Stop trying to use whatabouttery when it's completely irrelevant and silly. And if you want to complain about someone bringing up NI, then reply to the person who brought up NI, not me.

BTW, Turkey and Iraq are in the middle east. They are both democracies. They are both bigger in terms of size and population. So explain how Israel is the biggest democracy without changing the definition of what a democracy is.

Already lost me

Israelis pretend like they've never produced their own mandate to kill arabs and destroy palestine. “Death to Arabs,” “Mohammed is Dead” “May Your Village Burn” etc.

"How dare you ask questions about the things we claimed"

From postings, SeanW is on an escalate to de-escalate (if anyone is left alive on the other side!) path. In a dark place, lost hope and thinks Israel must up the violence and slaughter all around it to survive.

Hence these nihilistic + inappropriate imo analogies with the Allied war crimes (that was in a truly existential and total war)...firebombing of Dresden, Tokyo, atom bombing of Hiroshima, Nagasaki etc.
