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

    Hot on the heels of your silly, infantile comment on somebody's use of language, you again added nothing of any worth. Expelling diplomats or cutting off diplomatic ties with a country is a fairly standard and accepted method of registering an official protest against their actions. Just what exactly is wrong with the idea of expelling Zion Evrony? Why is that a silly conclusion? Why was my "earlier analysis" infantile? Can you come up with a reasonable defence of Israel's actions?

    I remember reading on some post a while back that Israel has nuclear weapons targeted on European cities including Dublin. Just a thought.

    Cowen's going to send that Air Corps officer over to Israel and he's going to call them pricks. The IDF will then collapse completely and go belly up.

    Game over.

    Are they trained on the Dáil? Well, let's do something to provoke them. We could boycott their oranges.

    Would Cowen ever STFU. Exports to Israel are worth three hundred million per year. We import only eighty million worth of goods from them every year. Trade sanctions will hurt us more than it hurts them.

    And lol @ "serious consequences". Best one I've heard since the plan to invade the North years ago. Cowen is an idiot to threaten a nuclear nation which also happens to be besties with the US, even if it is political grandstanding. God I hate Fianna Fail with a passion sometimes.

    Cowen is spoofing as always. The idea that Ireland has "serious consequences" in store Israeli ridiculous.





    Sorry!

    Yeah, our taoiseach should just stand back and let a foreign power trample over our sovereignty.

    And what exactly are we going to do about it if they do? We didn't do anything after the forged passports, we won't do anything after this, whether Israel immediately releases those people or not. And do you know why? Because we are militarily impotent. And economic sanctions would be a case of cutting of our nose to spite our face. You want to go toe to toe with the IDF? Grand, I hear they are recruiting for the next PR stunt, best of luck with that. I have no issue with Israel's actions. WTF did the Irish lads expect? A pat on the back for being part of an attempt to break through a military brigade? A big dinner and a flight home? A harp on your passport is not a get out of jail free card.

    As an aside, the people who have provided documents and signed the deportation orders have all been sent home. I know that Fintan Lane is contesting his deportation order. TBH Israel can keep him, we have enough left wing numpties as it is.

    OK here is a plan - allbeit it will only work once.


    Since the Rangers are currently scratching their asses I have a plan that would work but only once.


    Basically fly an elite group out to the ship "Corrie" on two helicopters in the Med unbeknownst to anyone since it is in international waters where they will hide and await the incompetent Israeli Commandos. When they come on acting all hard that is when the Rangers get up and strike the blow. This will likely occur in international waters and with piracy it is a right to defend a ship with force. That will be Ireland's defence. Fcuk all Israel can do then. No justification to retaliate from a legal point of view. Just a thought.

    :)

    And as an added bonus, we'll get to find out what being bombed to oblivion feels like! I'll say one thing though, this post is worthy of a Darwin award.

    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.

    He should have been told that after the passport incident tbh.

    Well there's a problem with that in that at least 200,000 innocent civilians will be killed.
