Look, wherever your views fall on this conflict (and my own sympathies would be with the Palestinians), this sort of talk on our behalf from this unelected gobsh1te is sheer, bloody insanity.

A new intifada? Really? Because the last one worked out so well for the Palestinians and the Israeli's, did it?

Perhaps Paul should take a break from high-flying conflict diplomaticy, and get his well-payed self back to work maybe trying to allieviate the pressures Ireland is under in Europes.

Or is "the Revolution" too important for that?

Let me guess, it was the "Irish MEP makes complete ar$e of self" part in the thread title that gave it away? :P

The guy is a complete clown.

On the same week Israel and Palestine agree to resume peace talks, he comes out with this shite.

Anyone see Judith Grayson's comment at the bottom?

"Quite likely he was drunk at the time. the irish not only have the highest rate of alcoholism, add bipolar disorder to that. a real jew haters paradise, backward and medeival, deeply corrupt and inculcated from birth by the church with virulent anti-semtism."

Looks like she won't be touring Temple Bar any time soon!

Yeah, the JP is a rag with a particular chip on their shoulder regarding ourselves - expect a lot of hate and abject racism in the comment boxes!

Still, thought it might be interesting to see his idiocy written from their perspective.

And yes, the clowns timing is aweful...

The Israeli state doesn't want peace - it wants the West Bank and it'll have it. Israel chose occupying territory over peace a long time ago.

The fact that Israel's greatest shield in the UN is brokering the peace talks is fucking farcical.

So the answer is a fcuking hopeless uprising that would kill hundreds if not thousands and set back even what little has been or could be achieved, all spurred on by some idiot MEP trying to sound as "revolutionary" as possible while masking his private school accent, and who would be nowhere near the danger-zone when the shots start firing?

you don't remember the way he was treated during a protest at a council meting in dublin not so long ago, i'd say he's gotten stuck in a little more than you might have!

also, those who wish to settle in other peoples territory and do deals with d-evil behind them will never be in the danger zone either, unless of course they fall out with the rest of them in the closed loop at the top that is!!

hello Israel and NSA associated fcukers!!

What, when him and a few of his fellow crusties tried to forcibly break up a democratically convened council sitting as a publicity stunt? To my memory he was ridiculed for it, and rightfully so - the clown

Unelected? The clue is in his job title - MEP.

efb · 25-07-2013 01:52AM

He wasn't elected though. He was co-opted. Joe Higgins was elected

Grayson · 25-07-2013 05:15PM

To be fair to the guy, I don't think he know what the word intifada means. He seems to be implying there should be a mass uprising and protests along the lines of the arab spring. But most of the arab spring uprisings have been peaceful (at least by the protesters. For example in bahrain it was a peacefull uprising that was violently crushed).

If that's what he meant then he makes sense. The whole conflict out there could use a mass peaceful protest. If he meant an actual intifada, he's a moron.

I think he means Arab Spring in the actual Libya-Syria-Egypt sense (with violence) rather than the liberal 'it was social media and about women's rights and democracy' fantasy version. As a revolutionary socialist I doubt he has much problem with what he believes would be legit violence.

Christ the Redeemer · 25-07-2013 05:28PM

Intifada means Uprising.

The Arab spring was an intifada. Poor chosen words, I agree, especially in a time when the general public is so grossly misinformed about the world.

He should have stuck to his first language.

To be fair he has been to Palestine many times. Plus, as in the article, was on the flotilla. Not that this impresses me personally, but he is hardly some coward when it comes to getting down and dirty.

This fool is proof that the selection of "Reserves" for MEP's is flawed. If MEP's cannot see out their full term (for any reason other than their death), the seat should be left vacant. Clare Daly and Ruth Coppinger turned down this post after Joe Higgins was elected to the Dail. He is paid to represent Ireland in Europe and if he's neither willing or able to do this, then he should step down.

When you read some of the anti Semitic stuff that gets put on here, particularly in relation to Alan Shatter, it isn't difficult to see where that chip comes from.

What an ignorant b!tch.

As much I don't support the MEP's suggestion, calling someone opposed to the Israeli government a "Jew hater" is retarded. People have an issue with the government, not with Jews!

F*ck sake.

No-one voted for him. He dosn't represent anyone but himself.

Yes if you are in the undertaking business (or are Robert Fisk et al, something to write about.)

He has never been elected to any position. He couldn't even get elected president of the bloody student union in UCD. Never been a councillor, TD, nothing that requires getting the approval of the people. Prior to getting co-opted to Higgins' seat, described himself as a 'full time socialist party activist'. Everytime I hear him interviewed, it's like hearing an audio version of 'The Big Book of Socialist catchphrases.'

It doesn't matter if it was or not. Our elected politicians get destroyed for talking ill of the great Israel. Especially in the US and England where nearly every politician of note is beholden to AIPAC or the friends of Israel.

Palestinians are just like the 9/11 fellows... support them and you're a terrorist.

Any evidence at all to back this outrageous claim? If not, you can't expect us to take your conspiracy theory ramblings seriously.

Irish MEP makes complete ar$e of self & us by suggesting new intifada in Middle East
