    This is hilarious. You’re accusing me of saying that ALL Muslims are extremists, which I didn’t

    No I didn't. I explained to you what Islamophobia was, which isn't just criticism of a religion by its very definition. Islamophia is a prejudice that targets Muslims as people. It is in no way different to antisemetism, and if you deplore one and downplay the other, you are a hypocrite.

    It would be, if the objections were not antisemitic in origin. But it's actually about erasing Jewish history in Ireland, so that won't satisfy most of them at all.

    This is a quote from you.

    It is more horsesh*t to paint people's disgust at the ethnic cleansing operations in Gaza as some inherent, racist flaw in the Irish pshyche, rather than a response to what, as I said, NGOs and special committees are telling us is a genocide, not that we needed them to given all this death is being funneled onto our TV screen and phones every day.

    Oh and by all means, baselessly equate this with the Limerick pogroms (which only proves prejudice in those specific people who did that 100 years ago, an abberation in Irelands history which was isolated and NOT part of a wider pattern). Bring up Devalera aswell, we've heard it all, and ignore that Irelands history is possibly unique in Europe in that - I don't believe- a single Jewish person has ever been killed for their religion, and definitely not by the forces of the state who in fact enshrined their protection constitutionally, which is also I believe unique.

    Of course, most Irish people protest Israel's actions in Gaza as they feel some kindredness with the people there, or with their situation (which I'm sure you despise). The religion of the victims, and the perpetrators, is irrelevant.

    We are also quite adept at seeing the ignorance and propoganda being pumped out to dehumanize people (such as, their religion tells them to beat their wives!). We had similar said about us afterall.

    You say the disgust people feel about mass murder, ethnic cleansing and colonization is actually prejudice against the religion associated with the people killing them - and not the acts those people are committing.

    This is not supported anywhere in reality, or in our history. For some reason, you want people to stop talking about it, stop protesting it, and smear is the path you have chosen to do this.

    Hand in hand with this, you try to downplay what Islamophobia is, try to legitimise it, make it a credible position to take. I don't know why you do it, nor why your buddies do it, but I do know is that it is pathetic.

    your first sentence: that’s not true, ask Hamid Coskun

    Not sure what you mean, you need to be more specific.

    It’s going great for Sweden. Keep it up and you’ll have a far right party in every European country.

    My question was if you were more afraid of Americans or Arabs? You started talking about Sweden.

    'Antisemitism means being against a group of people because of their ethnicity. That’s wrong. Obviously.'

    Ah then we are not antisemitic at all as we're against a lunatic regime that is murdering thousands of innocents including 32,000 children with an average age of 5 years.

    I feel better already.

    Who are you likely to be killed by in the Gaza, the WB, Lebanon ? Israel wins that one hands down.
