Gotta Love the Irish -- Many People of Irish Descent Support Palestine

by ...
...
In fact it seems that a lot of people in the crowd identify with Palestine: take, for instance, Conor O'Grady, an Irish artist in his 20s, with a thick brogue, who lives in New York City. He wears a kuffiyeh, carries a Palestinian flag, and he's with two men who look Arab. He also wants to go to Palestine to help: "Basically it's very similar to Ireland, Palestine, though the worst days of our colonization were 400 years ago."

Did anyone see the new movie "Bloody Sunday" (http://www.sunday.com)? It is about the day in 1972 that the British gunned down about 13 protesters in a march. As somber and scary as the violence that happened that day, the British occupation of Northern Ireland is a picnic compared to what's been happening in Palestine, and only beginning to sink into American's consciousness, thanks to the Zionist mainstream media that has hid the truth about Israel all this time, but it has erupted since 9/11.

Just check out the movies "Jenin, Jenin" and "Gaza Strip" from http://www.arabfilm.com or "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid" (donation of $20 requested) to Truth, PO Box 10458, Oakland, CA 94610. Also check out http://www.occupation101.com for the upcoming movie "Occupation 101"--- should help to continue to spread the truth about racist, anti-democratic, apartheid Israel.

I am an Irish American and I love Israel! Peace came ot Ireland when the IRA stopped bombing England - peace will come to Palestinians when they decide to give up their bombs. Until then, Israel must do all it can to defend its land, just like the Irish peoples have defended theirs.

Didn't you just contradict yourself?

Seeing that you're an Irish American, why don't you give us a little bit of recent history about how "peace came to Ireland" (shouldn't that read "Northern Ireland," BTW).
by then peace came
End of story.

This is interesting because a couple of days ago I challenged someone claiming to be a Palestinian and saying things that seemed to be intentionally placing his own ethnicity in a bad light.

I was suspicious so I asked him to translate some basic words like "water" and "light" into Arabic (having been to the Middle East on several occasions, I know a little Arabic). He could not answer a single one but went on to claim that he was raised by Palestinian parents, etc.

One Zionist in another post stated that pogromists used to pose as Jews in this way defame them. He was using an Arabic name while he was saying this. Have Zionists learned their techniques from the same types who persecuted Jews?

Someone up above mentioned several videos.
Here is a preview to the video Gaza Strip by James Longley:

Here are the previews from Occupation101.com which looks like it's going to be a great documentary:

I think that offering 22% of what was once all of Palestine to the Palestinians now is more than generous! In fact, my Uncle Irving accuses me of "wanting to give away land to the Arabs"! He thinks they should all be transferred to Jordan, or just we should just kill them, whatever is easiest, or a combination of the two. I think Palestinians lives are equally precious as Jews lives', but just as long as they don't live in *my* neighborhood. We need Palestinians around anyway to clean our houses, drive the garbage trucks, etc.-- it's hard to find good help, you know!
by Wendy the Liar
I think that offering 22% of what was once all of Palestine to the Palestinians now is more than generous - since over 50% of what was once the British Mandate of Palestine is now the Arab Muslim majority Palestinian country of Jordan. In fact, Jordan and the Palestinian state Arafat rejected would have consisted of over 70% of the British Mandate. But, lets not let facts get in the way of hate.

Would you believe that some people actually think I'm a bigot and a racist???
by Miriam Horowitz
Just because I think that Palestinians who have lived on their homeland for generations should just up and move to Jordan or WHEREEVER to make way for Jews, some people think I'm a racist! So what if the Palestinians have to suffer a little for us Jews?! After all we've been through, it's somebody else's turn now! Haven't you heard about the Holocaust?! So it's the Palestinians' turn this time. Them's the breaks! Get OVER it already!

Has anyone seen my nailfile? Does anyone know a nice Jewish doctor whose single?

Screw the Brits. Screw their Mandate. It was never their land to begin with. They stole it, just like they stole everything else they could get their hands on.
