    Clearly a touchy subject right now but...

    Is he seriously contemplating a revenge attack on the Israelis?!

    He's going to slip some ham into the Israeli Ambassador's sandwiches.

    Maybe there might be trade sanctions but ireland could not effect israel unless the other eu countrys join in.

    A bit of political grandstanding from BIFFO..can we categorically confirm there were no weapons being smuggled from that ship to Palestinian militants?Until it is confirmed there were no weapons aboard (pre-Israeli commandos boarding),I'm not hitching onto the anti-Isaeli/liberal leftist bandwagon..

    The israeli Government are probably crapping in their jocks at the prospect of the boul' biffo going on a mad one

    in a more serious answer, Cowen has been a strong supporter of Palestinian rights in the past, will be interesting to see what he does.

    Yes. His attack will consist of throwing a few billion their way \o/.

    He'll sit on Israel's face.

    The widespread outrage towards Israel's latest crime cannot seriously be dismissed as merely "hitching onto the anti-Israeli/liberal leftist bandwagon". From what I've read, only those on the very far-right of the political spectrum are even attempting (quite badly) to defend Israel on this one - The type of propagandists whose gut instinct - upon learning that the IDF has committed an act of murder - is to pin the blame (or - better still - divert attention) elsewhere.

    At the very least, the Israeli Ambassador should be told to fuck off home.

    well even if there were weapons on board which I seriously doubt there was, the ships where in international waters and out of Israels duristiction, they had no right to board/ambush them

    How about an enquiry to uncover the reasons for such bad language?

    My head hurts trying to understand what it means!

    Perhaps you can give him a lift?

    Perhaps you can think of a less vacuous contribution.

    1. Force Bono and Crystal Swing into an Israeli national identity and residency

    2. Send the Cabinet to be in charge of the Knesset

    I can't think of anything more harmful to Israel's dignity than those..

    Really? Your brain cannot overcome a couple of misspellings. That's gas. And conveniently allows you to evade countering any of the points made.

    What a modest poster? I was trying to add some reasoning to your earlier infantile analysis and silly conclusion.

    yes that is the best response put forward so far. it will leave them quaking in their boots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,369 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I knew a Cowen thread would turn ugly.:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭Gladiator.


    Mr Cowen is going to boycott Israeli toilet tissue.

    I prefer to ignore posts with holes, but mints with holes, yeah thats different.

    There is already more than enough expert opinion around here, not to mention some with telepathic skills.
