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

    I don't particularly care if you take my ramblings seriously.

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

    em, it's a fr ted reference-i don't think anyone sane is actually calling for a mass uprising...

    I'll take that as a "no" then. You have no argument.

    No, but this is particularly dangerous ****e. Paul can have his little "rebellion against rich background/lets be as extreme as possible" episode if he likes - but I wish he wouldn't do it while supposedly representing the Irish people abroad...

    The pantomime continues. Murphy is now meekly back peddling and claiming that the word "intifada" has no violent connotations. He claims to have meant it to mean "uprising". Which begs the questions - why couldn't he simply use the word "uprising". Of course, he knew the ambiguity of the word "intifada" and aimed to be as controversial as possible. This unelected pond life is desperate for attention as he and his laughable socialist ilk are duly ignored in the European parliament. Enjoy your 15 minutes of infamy Paul. I'm sure you're reading this now, as you come across as the type of narcissist who googles their own name.

    The one thing I would say is that Israelis would want to stop conflating the views of a minor politician from a party with absolutely tiny levels of support with the view of Ireland.

    That comment quoted further up the thread calling us bipolar, anti-semitic alcoholics is racist and deeply offensive to anyone in Ireland and just not correct either.

    Also, Ireland's a liberal democracy and people have a right to express all sorts of views and opinions.

    They would really want to grow up a bit though and stop completely over-reacting to any kind of criticism and accusing everyone of being anti-Semitic who doesn't agree with their foreign policy.

    The whole middle east seems prone to total over-reaction to any criticism.

    I bet he'd beat the daylights out of you if you said that to his face.

    Violence is to be applauded? Says more about you, to be honest.

    I didn't say it should be applauded I'm just saying he'd probably beat you up in a fight.

    He goes to the gym every day and is quite strong by all accounts.

    "Agree with me or I'll batter ya". Such schoolyard childishness.

    Here's a picture of baldy Paul being dragged away by the coppers. Carrying a few extra pounds too. He's want to lay off the kebabs for a while.

    baldy Paul I'm sure he was delighted to have his photo snapped and his name in the paper. Too bad everyone ignored it except the hippies over at indymedia. These middle class "revolutionaries" take pride in breaking the law.

    Well in all fairness you started it by calling him 'pond life'. It's not my fault he's freakishly strong and would tear you apart.

    It doesn't beg any question.. it's a word which is popularly used to describe an uprising. It wouldn't make a blind bit of difference what word he used to describe it... the usual suspects would still be up in arms over what he was saying.

    An elected and serving TD had his home raided by Gardai and the Revenue Commission yesterday. I'd say that makes us look like bigger arses to international critics, than the mumblings of some obscure socialist.

    He sounds like a fool. I'm embarrassed that he breathes the same oxygen as me as a human being, let alone that he hails from this island.

    Just when you thought this embarrassment had crawled back under his rock after widespread condemnation of his calls for intifada, he comes out with this:
    Paul Murphy, Unelected Socialist MEP wrote:
    The Sunday Independent printed a 759 word article by a Labour Councillor last Sunday attacking me as an ultra-left extremist. They've just refused me a right of reply. That's 'Independent' Newspapers for you. Will be complaining to Press Ombudsman.

    Even his fellow "comrades" on the left think he is an extremist nutter! In the immortal words of Yul Brynner: let him rave on so that men shall know him mad.

    haha Paul Murphy went to the same school as me for a time, private leafy kind of a place. he wasnt in my year but my only memory of him would have been the kind of guy who who was likely treasurer of the computer club and liable to get his underpants pulled over his head at a moments notice...not unlike a lot of boardsies in that respect I imagine.

    Who knows. I think we are past the days where people on the internet are geeks. It's not 1998 anymore. Boards is the biggest forum in Ireland, while most geeks are on it most people on it are not geeks.

    And look at tough old you with your private education.

    I joined the computer club in college as I figured that would be where I'd get to play unreal. They tried to make me treasurer on my first meeting. I did a bunk and ignored the emails asking me to sign funding cheques :D

    We have a new idiot of the week! This time it's Cllr Brendan Killeavy from Sinn Féin justifying rocket attacks against Israelis.
    If you can interpret his terrible grammar and punctuation (he writes like a 13 year old on Bebo) you can read his ramblings here on the Journal.ie. I don't read that site myself but when this comment was brought to my attention, the irony of a member of a former terrorist organisation advocating violence against civilians was too delicious to pass up.

    The almighty councillor mustn't know that Israeli rockets are highly advanced and have excellent precision so that they only hit their target (i.e. terrorists) with no civilian casualties. However, Hamas deliberately target Jewish civilians. A bit like how the IRA targeted civilians like Jean McConville. He should also know that Hamas are recognised as a terrorist organisation worldwide. When all Jews were evacuated from Gaza in 2005, the Palestinians were allowed to vote in free elections. They rejected the moderate Fatah and instead elected the terrorist organisation Hamas.

    Paul must be relieved the spotlight is off him for a while!
