Boycott Israel

Do you ever read what you write?

Pretty common response when those neighbors fire missiles at you.

And that image is just plain distasteful. Similar pictures don't mean similar events, Israel does not gas the people behind those fences.

Israel didn't seize any land. It was given to them by the country the land belonged to then, Great Britain.



I didn't say that the name wasn't used. The Brits regarded Palestine as a part of Syria. Palestinian nationalism arose in the late 1960s.



I shouldn't dignify this with a statement, but many of the countries the video mentions are countries the US depend on for oil. If you don't care about human rights violations in other countries than Israel, then you are an antisemite. This souldn't even be up for debate.



Your point being? Iran has four times as many soldiers as Israel. Just like Israel, they had the right to defend themselves when Saddam Hussein attacked them, though.

they may not gas them but they do bomb them with chemical weapons

Thank you for supporting British colonialism!

Not the sort of thing you hear every day from an Irish republican.

GSTQ NSE etc etc.

I was responding to Kurgan's claim that Palestine 'never existed'.

If we use the premise that Palestine 'never existed' because it never had its own consolidated government prior to the arrival of the zionists, then by the same logic, 'Ireland never existed' either.

SPOILER: I don't subscribe to that idea.

FYI: I am not an Irish republican. My stance on Irish sovereignty is based on pragmatism. I was loosely in favour of Irish unity during the celtic tiger. Not any more.

Uh huh. Sure. Thats why Britain had to equip them with military hardware to complete the job, and when certain Israelis decided they wanted EVEN MORE land, the Irgun decided to start attacking British interests in the area.


See my response to Tequila.



1- Whether or not those countries are engaging in human rights violations is largely a moot point, since almost no goods come from them. Its much harder not to buy Chinese since almost everything is assembled there. But even then, these countries lack the historical semantics of how Israel was formed. By buying Israeli, you legitimise the idea that it is fine for a large group to come in to a territory with dubious claims, and seize land off an indigenous group that has been there for centuries if not millenia on the back of religous claims. That is the problem.

2-It doesnt make you an anti-semite, particularly considering that a large margin of Jews also echo the same concerns.


That timing was hardly a coincidence.

Yet in secular terms, the Italians have an even stronger claim over Istanbul, since the entire raison d 'etre for Israel is based on the scrawlings of ancient zealots.


I don't know how well read you are on history (not too well based on your posts), but traditionally speaking countries with militaries that are half in power to their rivals are incapable of oppressing rivals equipped with militaries double in power.

Yes, life is all fine in Gaza until you have a pregnant wife you need to get to hospital or you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time near a wanted political figure.

Israel and the United States seem to be the only two nations on Earth that think dropping bombs from an aircraft is an appropriate assasination method to kill an individual.

thanks for that miss lizard +1

You're welcome.

Ireland had a culture and several kings and chiefs long before Great Britain had anything to do with it.

Fajr-5 missiles similar to those Hamas have:



Since the jews didn't do it, there's nothing serious about it.

They needed military equipment because Arab dictatorships were ready to attack any minute. Do us a favour and look other places than European tabloids for your information.




So in other words, a boycott of Israel is motivated by entirely selfish reasons. Why no boycott of Venezuela, where journalists mysteriously disappear?



Noam Chomsky is not the emperor of the jews.



Never claimed it was. It was another reason to give Israel back to the jews, though.



There's more than enough genetic and historical evidence for the jews being the original proprietors of Israel. The Romans, the Ottomans, and the Brits kicked them out, though--which there is also historical evidence for.



Iran has four times as many soldiers (and more likely to actually launch their nuclear weapons). You didn't counter my argument, which just further proves my point.
