Thereâs a few tinfoil milliners on here recently.

Says the siteâs DUP lover.
You are badly rattled about this kid. Making up gibberish now.
A sure sign of being rattled is saying someone is rattled. Iâm zen out walking Brady.
Youâre as rattled as a rattle snake rattling a tin collection can on Christmas Eve on Rattle Street listening to Angel of Harlem from U2s Rattle and Hum.
Achtung Brady.
Your understanding of the situation is derived entirely from US sources. Therefore itâs not surprising you have no understanding. By far the most clueless commentary in all this always comes from US based people who get their opinions from overwhelmingly Israel-biased US sources.
What really exposes your opinions on this topic as a sham, and has always done, is the fact that the situation is and for the last seven decades has been very analogous to the situation in the North in 1969, where Protestants attempted to ethnically cleanse Catholics out of their homes, there was a Protestant state for a Protestant people, and that rotten state was unconditionally backed by a greater external power, Britain - just as Israel is armed to the teeth and unconditionally backed by the worldâs greatest military power by along way, the US.
But if it was an exact analogy to Israel/Palestine, the Britsâ direct response to Bombay Street would have been to bomb Divis Tower to the ground and carry out another Ballymurphy massacre.
So the lot of the people of Palestine is and always has been far more desperate.
If you canât see how that oppression would encourage extremism in response, I simply cannot help you.
The root problem is, and always has been, the Israeli ideology of conquest, supremacy, destruction and oppression, just as the ideology of Protestant, Unionist supremacy has always been the root problem in the North.
You arenât an Irish Republican. Youâre an Irish nationalist, in the worst sense of the term. Thereâs a big difference between Irish Republicanism and Irish Nationalism. Very few people understand it, and you certainly donât. Your views vis a vis the North and Israel/Palestine are reminiscent of the clueless Boyle brothers. Rabid yet clueless Irish nationalists, and even more clueless when it comes to Israel/Palestine and their fanatical unconditional support for Israel.
The words of somebody who has in no way completely lost the plot. Thatâs sarcasm.
@Teernevin1979 never answers what should be done about the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.
The settlements prevent any hope of an independent Palestinian state. Thatâs what they were meant to do.
Since the Oslo accord, which was a Palestinian surrender, a Palestinian Versailles, in the words of Edward Said, Israel has exponentially increased the building of these settlements. The Oslo accord was a crushing victory for Israel. But even that wasnât nearly good enough for them. The object from their side is and has always been the total crushing, enslavement and eventual elimination of Palestine. Israel is a rapacious monster which never cases to wear the clothes of the victim in front of its benefactor, the US.
Youâre squealing like a pig
Thatâs the thing these soft on Israel goons canât square awayâŚbut maybe youâre right, theyâve no idea whatâs actually happening over there.
Ah Well, neither the Jews nor the Islamists will go near him.
Sid has found a new ally, how twee.
So, I can answer that. Israel should stop settlements in the west bank, and relocate the 650k Jews who live in the west bank back inside Israelâs border. As part of a two state settlement. Thatâs what I would do.
Information silos. The US is one big information silo when it comes to Israel. And the vast majority of Democrats are almost as bad as the Republicans on this. Those who are not are automatically branded as anti-Semites.
Meanwhile the Republican information silo, where @Tierneevin1979 gets his information from, comes out with blatantly anti-Semitic shite like this and gets away with it.
That guyâs eyes nose and mouth are all squashed together into a tiny space on his face. Itâs bizarre.
And how would you do this?
What happens to those 650k people - itâs 683k as of 2020, who presumably will be extremely militant as regards not giving up their homes, and even more militant if they are removed?
What prospect is there of Israel ever agreeing to this? The answer is zero.
Just about to post the same
Whatâs it like being married to a Jew?
Irish people have a real soft spot for Palestine. And while itâs an awful situation its fascinating we had nowhere near the same outcry at similar atrocities happening around the world in Libya, Iraq, etc.
Is it because its a cause championed by a few rugby players, Mickey d Higgins etc or what?
