I hope you are wrong about the Irish.  In any event, god be with you.

_The_ Irish are not the problem. _Some_ Irish is enough.

And if the Irish government decides that this issue is something safe to use to present Ireland as a moral country, I cannot trust the protection the state has to offer.

The best way to be morel is always to bash the Jews. You can feel like you fight for the oppressed against the poweful while having most of the world on yourside and face no violent opposition.

No European government ever had to protect a mosque when Muslims killed anyone for any reason.

You can come to the States and live in paradise or should be called parasite.......

I have a lot of Irish friends who dearly love Israel (they're all Believers).  This non-sense will get worked out.  It just an attempt to make war so a few rich people will get richer and cause oil prices to go upwards.

If that happens in the U.S, Obama will have much more to handle than what he has handled.  Remember, the high gas prices here in U.S were a prelude to the economy.  This caused everything to go up (price wise).

I'm going to work out now ( I usually do a pre-shabbat workout) because Dr. Guy and Big Fat Daddy don't live near for hired protect

My puppy just dookied on the floor and it smells bad and I mean bad as in vomiting bad.  I stuck her nose in it.  This is only the third time I had to do this.  She actually goes dookie or pees on command (as in when she has to go I say make 'dookie' or 'pee' and no sniffing around).

Can you imagine if countries did something similar?

If you came to the States, you could met Gedalyah!  Everyone has told me that she is the cutest pup! I have to admit that she gets the cute from me or rather is that the dog from me

Is this situation really so much worse than previous incidents? I'd like to think that this is just the regular seasonal bullshit, but I'm noticing that even commentators and news organizations that I usually find level-headed and neutral are getting caught up in this, which makes me worried that you're right. There's enough people coming out to try and clear the air, but it's still uncommonly virulent.

I've got to say, I'm really getting cheesed off at the BS that's floating around. The "illegal" siezure of the boat is something I've had brought up often, yet none of them have done the cursory work required to fire up google and look at the San Remo Manual for the relevant laws. What good is the information if people are still too fucking thick to check their facts? Bah!

Best of luck, and stay safe. I'd wish you peace, but in the context of this discussion that'd be less "well wishing" and more "subtle threat". I hope you're wrong about this backlash you see coming.

There use to be an Irish lass on this board that was very pro-Palestinian.  Kind of like many liberals in the US.  Harmless most of the time, just being stupid.  But........

I think those are the ones Leauki is worried about.  The Rachel Corries.

I read that there is a demonstration in the city centre.

The Jews wouldn't allow unchecked goods into enemy territory. The Irish are naturally upset. When they were part of the UN "peace keeping" force in Lebanon, they never bothered to check goods for weapons.

This time it's worse. The media don't report facts that favour Israel, just whatever they can to heat the situation up further. European Jews are frightened already and war is looming in the ME. The "peace activists" have reached their goal.
