I wonder what “Irish American Zionist” Joe Biden thinks of this?

    Mr Martin, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence, told the Dáil that “Israel is not listening to its allies in terms of progressing its agenda” and “seems to be [at] all out war”. He said the IDF’s actions were “unacceptable” with “destructive warfare” leading to community, health and education services being “destroyed”. He said Israel’s actions were “a clear breach of international humanitarian law”.

    isreal fucking around a WHOLE LOT these days, pretty soon they’re gonna find out.

        Let’s hope “Mama U.S.” flips the script immediately upon inauguration. I have heard she does not agree with Biden’s position on this at all, but needs to play along for appearances and for that critical AIPAC money.

        That AIPAC money is only critical in election season, which ends soon. I’ll cross my fingers, but I won’t hold my breath.

        And no matter which candidate you get, they’ll stay the same.

        So what does that mean and what does the American do about it? Because we are fractured lazy and overworked and many of us are got by fake news because an abusive system abused us and then neglected us now we’re all shitheads

          Buy a gun, join a lefty militia, train up, then protest with your guns in large groups. If that method can convince Republicans to vote in favor of gun control to stop black people from having agency, it can work with anything you want to be changed as well.

          People always respond to threats of violence, with fear or with retaliation.

            If you raise any force of violence enough then government will come down on you regardless of who you are from Waco to MOVE. A government just has a monopoly on violence and the US has the monopoly of violence in the world

            I’m not saying give up but the idea of the armed overthrow is not the best idea. Especially at this stage in the issue

              I think hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens engaging in armed protest would be impossible to address the way the Koresh or Ruby Ridge scenarios were handled.

              Their response would need to be smart and nuanced and would need to address core issues to really make it stop.

    Oh no. Who could have predicted this, other than literally everybody.

    Israel is out of control (and has been for a long while) and must be stopped.

    Israel doesn’t have much love for the Irish given they are pretty sympathetic and outspoken about the Palestinian plight for obvious reasons. What a fucking mess

      Actually it goes back farther.

      The IRA was trained, in part, by the PLO.

      The early anti-guerilla operations by the British in Palestine, before Israel was a state but when Palestine was fighting Zionists (literally what they called themselves, with a stated goal of just taking over Palestine and getting rid of the native population which includes Palestinian Jews), were just “well the Crown says we can’t do this in Ireland but they’re not looking here in Palestine.”

      This includes literally tying Palestinian captives to grilles or loading them onto forward-mounted trailers in a convoy to act as human shields. This includes retributive strikes against guerilla’s families and friends.

      Ireland has a HELL of a good reason to be close to Palestine, because it literally actually happened to them.

      The colonizing people of the world see themselves in Israel.

      The colonized people of the world see themselves in Palestine.

      I dont know who said it first, but it rings true every day.

          Every soldier has the right to defend themselves and others. Anyways that’s when my artillery support started hitting that one guy behind the rock.

    “The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States…”
