yet you cannot form a coherent thought beyond your hatred of Jews. I followed that just fine, so as to your coherent thought I have a perfect record of following it. Hate itself is not a coherent thought, however. Even as I can follow that you live to hate, that doesn't mean you have a coherent thought on it for me to follow, other than your hatred of Jews.
I don't hate Jews. Neither do I hate Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists and to say that I do is the mark of a low-life individual. I think theistic religious beliefs are a folly of mankind but in no way does that mean I hate people who believe as long as they are moderate. If people want to talk about their omnipotent magic overseer that's fine. It doesn't mean I'll take them seriously but I certainly won't hate them for it.
Who I do loathe are extremists - Islamists, fundamentalist Christians and Zionists. They are all threats to peace and stability particularly the Islamists.
Gaza isn't a country. It is a blockaded territory cut off from the western world. I know you have severe difficulty comprehending that but I write this not for your benefit, as that would be a waste of my time, but for others. That's why the comparison to Northern Ireland is apt. Israel are in control of Gaza. They control who gets in or out, they even control the electricity.
Similarly, Northern Ireland was under control of the UK during The Troubles. When the IRA were murdering people in Northern Ireland - when they were murdering people in various cities across England - in the same manner as Hamas - the UK never waged air strikes mass murdering civilians. Because they are a democracy not terrorists.
Hamas are terrorists. So no, I don't condone them.
Yes the great threat of Al Qaeda, Afghanistan and Iraq to the U.S. and world peace. I'll be your surrogate and let you in on a little open secret - seeing as you're continually solipsistically projecting yourself onto me.
Saudi Arabia - were most likely (almost 100 per cent) responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
The vast majority of the attackers were Saudis, Osama Bin Laden was a member of the Saudi royal family.
You can put a name on any organisation. But to see who was really behind it all you have to do is follow the money and it goes back to Saudi Arabia.
Similarly, ISIS is thought to be funded by the rich and wealthy of Qatar - Saudi neighbours. And if it actually isn't them you can bet it is Saudi Arabia.
I've no idea why the US invaded Afghanistan. Certainly logic had nothing to do with it apart from feeding the U.S. war machine.
Iraq is a different story. They threatened the US economically by daring to have the temerity to switch from the dollar to the euro when it came to purchasing oil. The U.S. then fabricated evidence, which every man and his dog knew to be false, as a pretext for invasion. That, and feeding the U.S. war machine. I suppose Israel is a similar situation on that front too.
Protecting the world from Al Qaeda is nice propaganda but if the U.S. was genuine in its intentions it would have invaded Saudi Arabia not two countries that had little-to-nothing to do with the terrorist attacks.
Another important reality is that if you take this antisemitism thing of yours too far they'll end up banning you. Just because people give up on such a vile creature as your posts show you to be doesn't mean you've won anything. I have a way of being the last one trying to talk sense into people like you here, mainly because the others don't see the point. Also, your all around hatefulness to everyone whom you can't verbally browbeat into submission will cause them to draw a line.
That was a rather special kind of lunacy - even for you.
I realise that there is a weird mantra in the U.S. where any criticism of Israel, never mind a vehement attack like mine, makes you automatically anti-Jewish but I hope any rational human being can see that the two are completely independent.
I must admit your whole quartet of the righteous raised a chuckle. :lol:
What I can say to others reading this thread is that the majority of Irish people and large swathes of Europe were appalled by Israel's actions. That doesn't make us anti-Jewish, neither does it make us supporters of terrorists and Hamas.
And there are plenty of Jewish people in Ireland that feel the exact same. Does condemning Israeli air strikes make Lenny Abrahamson and plenty of others self-loathing? Of course not. This is also doubly true of the UK where Israel means little to Jewish people. Does that mean that they hate themselves too?
No - because once again the two things are completely independent of one another.
Are there anti-Jewish extremists in Europe. Yes, of course there are - I can't pretend that problem doesn't exist. There is a rising tide of Islamist extremism that is becoming prevalent everywhere a problem that will only grow worse as long as it is tolerated.I suspect that these extremists are responsible for much of the anti-Jewish sentiment and the attacks in France and Berlin and there will be others that are not Islamist doing the same.
That still doesn't mean condemning the Israeli murdering of civilians and children makes you anti-Jewish. It makes you a human with empathy.

Sorry Dogman, I realise that you could well be talking about me dragging threads off-topic and creating extra work for the mods and I am certainly guilty of that here.
I can't allow someone to portray me as something that I am clearly not. But this will be my last reply on the subject.
