    I can't speak for your way of life, but but starving and bombing and shooting men, women and children - be they Israeli or Palestinian - is "anti" my way of life. Hence, I have no difficulty in supporting a decision by RTE that really should have occurred a year ago.

    The good news is that you'll still be able to watch the Eurovision (including the musical Israeli military reservists) on the BBC without having to endure any ad breaks!

    Musical reservists 😂

    And all those who voted for Israel last time out? Did they embarrass the all Hamas/Palestine fans in RTE?

    On the subject of music, the Vinyl revival is one of the dumbest things that ever happened. If you really need to listen to music albums on physical media, then buy CDs - they are superior by every metric, including the fact that you don't need to turn them over halfway.

    Their vote merely reflected that a cohort of 7% or so getting behind one song, the Israeli entry will be more effective than 90% of a vote being scattered between 30 countries.

    Israel is committing a genocide and should rightly be banned from all international events.

    Yes

    He said that but you’ll notice that he never partook in such shootings & didn’t condone them.

    You should be pushing your buddies in Hamas to surrender and release the hostages.
    Why aren’t you marching for this to happen?

    If this is the result that would save most lives why isn’t there more of a push from you Pally Pals?

    The reason is obvious- you’re all anti Israel and probably anti Jew also.

    I've no buddies in Hamas, nor do all the other posters who call you out on your support of genocide.

    Do you agree with Israel's actions in Gaza? Breaking international law to kill those attending a peace meeting in Qatar? And all the other breaches of International Law? It's just racism on your part pure and simple. Anti Arabic racism.

    You've all the clichés, but either no knowledge of what happened prior to October 2023, or just willfully ignoring it because it doesn't suit your racist agenda. I wouldn't give you the time of day in real life so 3 posts refuting your drivel here is way more than your worth.

    Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Al Qaida and fools like you are the problem.

    The Jews didn’t fly the planes into the towers 24 years ago. Radical Islam did. As well as hijacking planes and killing Olympic athletes.

    Just confirmed your racism with a tar all Arabs with the one brush lob sided post.

    You never answered the question. Do you approve of Israeli actions in Gaza? Answer it.

    Also have a little read up on the Balfour Declaration 1917, Israeli land grabs. Mister Icecreamman can't answer the question but brought in other Arab groups and has a mentality of Israel good, all Arabs bad. Nice and simple for a simple thinker.

    If Israel was slaughtering your children or Caucasian children would that be ok? No you only support killing innocent Arab children.

    Have a go again, do you support Israel's actions in Gaza? Why are you afraid to answer that question?

    I never heard of him and do not know why RTE are making a big story out of what happened to him.

    That's not to say it is a terrible thing that what happened to him. Just not sure what it has got to do with us for RTE to be making such a big song and dance about it.

    I don’t support ALL of Israel’s actions in Gaza - but there should not be a ceasefire without a Hamas surrender.

    I support Israel’s right to go after Hamas in Gaza and Qatar, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran.

    It will be hard to make peace with any of these scumbags.

    Do you think Hamas surrendering would save lives or not?

    They have genuine reasons, but it’s turned up to 11 by Islamic extremists. People like Bin Laden who hate the west have absolutely no problem making life miserable for their fellow muslims.

    You can't attack a delegation who enter a sovereign state for peace negotiations. That breaks all international laws. That's Israeli government scumbags and their supporters for you.

    A two state solution is preferable but Israeli scumbags keep stealing land beyond agreed boundaries and putting settlers there.

    Why don't you post on the main Israel/Palestine thread. I presume your banned for your extremely racist views.

    Someday an Arabic doctor or consultant will perform a colonoscopy or endoscopy on you, or some other medical procedure. That'll be a lovely experience for you. The Arabic people have always excelled in medicine and maths, in particular.

    Unfortunately the Arab people have horrible representation, they are little more than pawns to the people who decided to carry out the October 7th attacks and were ok with Israel’s reaction.

    As we've often said in this country, violence, however abhorrent, doesn't occur in a vacuum. The dehumanisation of people and taking away of their land, their rights leads to radical groups coming to power.

    Unfortunately not every country has the unconditional backing, in every sense, of a Superpower. That never ends well.

    I’ve called out radical Islam- if that’s racist then I’m guilty.

    I believe Israel can attack Hamas anywhere they can find them, including Qatar. Are you trying to defend Hamas? That would make you a supporter of terrorism. Nothing new I suppose.

    Complete rubbish again. That group in Qatar were given permission to meet there in a peace making capacity.

    So your 'shoot them everywhere' policy breaks international law on so many counts.

    I condemn Hammas. I don't condone delegated peacekeepers being killed in a neutral country. And they killed non Hammas individuals. The equivalent of the British killing Adams and McGuinness during the Peace Process, and killing you or me as collateral in the process!

    I'm beginning to think you're not all there? Your arguments and knowledge of the sovereignty of nations is all over the place. Even the US are trying to placate Qatar and have condemned the attack.

    This thread is being spammed with the back n forth. The discussion belongs on the Israeli- Palestine thread.

    Hamas are certainly less bad than Israel although admittedly that is a very low bar.

    If there was any justice in this world the west would be bombing Israel to smithereens rather aiding a genocide.

    He went through all Arabic people and condemned them. That's racism. He's banned from the main thread.

    And yes if he thinks it's ok to bomb people on a peace keeping task in a neutral country, he mightn't be all there. It's plainly obvious a lot of posters banned from the Israeli- Palestine thread are using this for a substitute.

    And he/she is surely well enough able to look after themselves without you. The poster has name called too.

    You'd argue back n forth about nothing 24/7 365. I don't have the time or inclination for that. You're just a bit put out over the Eurovision ban, as can be seen on the other thread and bringing it into other threads. Seen it all before. Fair play to RTE.

    Charlie Kirk demanded that any 10 year old girl made pregnant by a rape be forced to carry that pregnancy to term.

    That's a belief that is effectively paedophilia.

    He was a vicious racist who believed that black people's lot was better in the Jim Crow era of lynch mobs.

    He believed in the right to stone gay people to death.

    He was a supporter of genocide.

    His slogan was "your body, my choice". That is a statement that he has the right to control what happens to a woman's body, it is a statement that he believes he has the right to rape a woman whenever he pleases.

    The belief that men have an inherent right to rape a woman is an utterly integral part of mainstream right-wing political ideology - of which pretty much no variation except paedo-Nazism now exists. The proof of this obvious - the biggest heroes of right wing politics are rapists who are eulogised precisely because they are rapists.

    These people are depraved in every aspect and no bullshit political correctness should be afforded to them.

    They're paedo-Nazis and the only good one of them is a dead one.

    You started with some interesting Kirk quotes which illustrate what kind of a person he was but then descended into a nonsensical rant. Your characterisation of right-wing people is way off the mark.
