Hamas strike on Israel

I found this video today, fascinating. It's hard to believe it was released 7 years ago!

It wasn't. As you have demonstrated in that other post, you clearly have no understanding of the legal definition of Genocide and are just reciting talking points you are finding online.

What does the number of Jewish people in Ireland have to do with anything?

Any surveys performed weren't about Irish Jewish people. 99% of Irish people have never met an Irish Jewish person. Antisemetism is born from ignorance - I'm fairly sure 20% of Ireland is ignorant, and probably more ignorant about Jewish people, as most Irish people don't know any.

Now - to your point - we are patently not one of the most antisemetic countries in the world according to probably the main body in the world who actually tracks this stuff. In fact, only 8 countries in the EU ranked lower than us.

So again I'll ask - retract your horse's*it pls.

And just think, maybe for a minute, you could be absolutely lost in Twitter rabbit holes and have no idea that it isn't reality.

Either that, or like many of your other buddies who have been caught out on this thread, you are spreading disinformation.

And lastly, as I said, antisemetism is the hatred of Jews. It is not whoever Israel doesn't like because they want to undermine a humanitarian view that them committing genocide is wrong.

That, in all fairness, is good advice, but if you don't engage you're just choosing to live in blissful ignorance.

There are Irish 'Influencer'personalities online with followings of 150k and 200k and it's just a constant daily stream of lies, misinformation, rants and propganda about Israel and Gaza, and it is lapped up by people who are clearly Irish.

It's an education in itself. You're not particulary missing out, but you are uninformed, but maybe not a bad tradeoff.

You clearly have never studied anything involving research methodology. If you think you can generalise about a population based on posts on a social media site, one that has turned into a toxic hellhole, a toxic hellhole actively encouraged by its owner, an individual who literally made a Nazi salute during a speech, you are even more clueless than I thought. Being completed biased like some of the other Israeli cheerleaders is one thing, being a fool is something entirely different.

If you knew anything about research methodology yourself you'd know that it's not the source but the data from a source you use to generalise to the general population.

Let me guess, you think no one is using Twitter for Quantative, Qualitative or thematic research? What the hell do you think Google and Facebook and co run their algorithms on?

Here's a good article from an investigative journalist who used social media to immerse himself in antisemitic groups in Ireland, England and Scotland in 2022.

His article title. What explains Irelands extreme antisemitism?

https://www.meforum.org/david-collier-what-explains-ireland-extreme

It would be about as relevant as " The ongoing genocide and famine and its effects on the Irish population as a whole".

A more interesting study, would be why we are so interested in the first place.

Just out of curiosity, what do we do about the HAMAs problem? If we recognise Palestine as a state, we're going to have a state in the middle east which is governed by terrorists. How do we stop them attacking Israel, who presumably will retaliate? All the silliness about what other countries think of Israel is probably irrelevant, I highly doubt the US will allow Israel to fail, as it's effectively a base for them out there. How do we give the Palestinians a fighting chance at actual autonomy?

I will wager I know slightly more than you about research methodology. All you are doing is saying is 'look at all the Irish anti-Semites on Twitter, Ireland has to be anti-Semitic', which just proves my point. Trying to back up your beyond weak argument with a link to a site like meforum.org just proves you are just regurgitating talking points you don't even fully understand.

Horrible reading this. Israel's own figures show it is starving people in Gaza. Those poor people.

Oh I thought they were still in Gaza, apologies I didn't realise someone else has taken over. Who is in charge now? I suppose all we have to do now is ensure terrorists don't take over again and hopefully the Palestinians will stand a chance at getting a state that's internationally recognised and safe.

I'll wager you dont.

I never said "look at all the Irish anti-Semites on Twitter, Ireland has to be anti-Semitic". You said that because the data is from social media it is inherently invalid for some reason known best to you.

All the algos do is churn that social media day in day out, data mining for monetizable trends. Social media is the epicenter of research data in the world today in every field including psychology and sociology.

They generalise that data to individuals, communities and larger. Don't know why, just because you don't like Elon Musk or Twitter, you ignore the reality of the absolute data mine that these social media hubs are, but that's on you.

My goodness Sheepy did you read the article you linked? Alan Shatter had to resign due to antisemitism! FFS

Also, by going undercover in Facebook groups he was able to figure out that 50% of people on Free Palestine demonstrations are hard core antisemites!

The man has zero credibility.

David Collier! Jesus wept, your algorithm is brainwashing you. Think objectively. Think for yourself.

Sheepy - I saw one poster who supported Hamas in 10 months or so I have been in this thread

I know what page it's on, because every f*ckin time I open this thread it opens on that page which is very annoying. That poster was challenged -not by you or Blanche or that crew oddly - but by some of the people you are slurring.

They were actually like Hamas Danzy or Potatoeman posting nonsense (no offense lads, but ive said the same to ye), instead insert Hamas instead of Israel, and insert Israelis instead of Palestinians. It was uncanny, a radicalised poster in the other direction.

There has been a recent poster, which you allude to, saying Israel should be dismantled and American Jews kicked out or some such, again, tackled not by ye, but by many of the people you have slurred.

If Odhin said he/she supported Hamas, and then stopped after October 7th, I'd believe that he/she doesn't support Hamas anymore. That event was appalling and changed alot of minds - it just so happened Israel's appalling conduct made all this goodwill disappear around the world. I'd say every poster you regularly slur has condemned Oct 7th multiple times.

If you came here tomorrow and said you were wrong, it is genocide, id believe it and wouldn't go on saying you still support it.

Anyway - I do find it odd that those who actually said things I would consider antisemetic are never really challenged by your crew (it's possible you could have missed it), yet you try to put the same accusations on people who are putting forward reasonable views, almost always backed up, on this disgraceful conflict. They then end up having to fight about whether they are antisemetic or not, and not the actual people being blown up, maimed and starved!

If I didn't know better, id swear it was a deliberate tactic. But what I don't understand is - why.
