Comparing brutal and inhumane acts of GOVERNMENTS has zero to do being insensitive or against the jewish people.
If anything, I would think jewish people should be sensitive to and reject hideous acts against human rights in ANY form committed by ANY country seeing as how their people have lived that horror first hand.
Although on second thoughts, let's try not to waste too much energy trying to explain anything to this clown. He may get the impression that anyone on this message board takes him seriously.

Yeah... comparing Ireland to colonial England would be like that, if it was in any way a valid comparison. I gave you a clear example of the parallels between Nazi Germany and Israel - the Holocaust wasn't even mentioned in them. If it had been Communist Russia or Colonial England in place of Nazi Germany, I'd make that comparison, but fact is, the parallels exist. If the Israeli people find that parallel distasteful, they have a very achievable way of remedying the situation.
And how nice of you tell me that I don't know any Jewish people - that's like me saying, oh, you're American, you couldn't possibly know any Buddhists.
I live in a progressive part of America. I do know Buddhists. So tell me who you know in Kildare who goes to Schull?
Firstly, what does knowing, or not knowing, someone who is Jewish have to do with anything?
Secondly, how about commenting on my post directly and telling us what it is exactly that your pretending to be offended about? You've not once been able to refute anything I've said.
Your only argument - if that's what you can call it - is that I've posted a lot of threads concerning Americas double standards, and the illegal Israeli occupation.
Seriously, when you have something to say, let me know.
Trying to goad me into a cut and paste debate with you. Not going to happen. I know my views. I don't need to cut and paste them for the world. You have your 4 patsies on this board who validate your pathetic existence. I wont give you any more fuel to justify it.

You know your views, and whether your views are based on misinformation, half-truths, and just outright lies picked up from the mainstream media, or simply plucked out of thin air, isn't important, right?
You can't comment on and/or contest anything I've said in this or any other thread, and you can't refer to any of the views contained in the sources I've provided because you have nothing to say, and you have no real interest in these issues.
You're not fooling anyone. Like I said before, you're just here to throw insults around and cause trouble until the mods finally get around to banning you. And if you think that anyone here is the least bit impressed with your pathetic, childish posturing then you're more deluded than I realised.
It does not make you an anti-semite. Honestly. I think for you, living in Ireland, you don't have much exposure to people who are Jewish and would find that comparison extremely offensive. It is an insensitive comparison at the least for someone who does not know someone who is Jewish and may therefore be offended by such a comparison. By way of comparison it would be like comparing something the Irish government does today to English colonialism. That's as as close I can make it. Comparing English colonialsim to the perpetrators of the Holocaust is quite a strech, but it is as close as I can come for your purposes.
You know, when you think about it, you're totally right. I mean, the fact that there are no black people in Ireland has always made it impossible for me to understand problems like the African AIDS problem and world hunger...
And i never understood the uproar over the dropping of the atomic bombs cos ive never met an Asian before...
and thank GOD there are no foreign religions here...immigration would lead to the death of our closed economy...
Is your sarcasm detector on? Hopefully it is.
i havnt addressed the outrageous issues you've raised in this truly INCREDIBLY RACIST AND IGNORANT post, because i cant as the internet hasnt been brought to Ireland. Maybe the Jews will bring it with them when they eventually come over....

You can't possibly understand what he meant, he's American and you live on an island.
The Israeli military has released video footage which, it says, clears it of blame for the deaths of a Palestinian woman and her four children in Gaza.
It says the footage shows the family died because a missile attack on a Palestinian militant set off explosives he was carrying, in a secondary blast.
The family's neighbours deny that Palestinian gunmen were in the area at the time of the incident on Monday.
Doctors and residents in Beit Hanoun blame Israeli tank fire for the deaths.
The Israeli human rights group, B'Tselem, has said that, regardless of whether there was a secondary explosion, it was probably a breach of international law to fire a missile into a densely populated area.
Israeli ground forces moved into the Gaza Strip early on Monday morning and entered Beit Hanoun, not far from the border.
During the incursion, a missile smashed through the ceiling of one family's one-storey house while they were having breakfast, witnesses said.
The mother, and two girls and two boys aged between one and six, were killed.
Several other people were injured by the blast, some of them critically.
Residents said no militants were killed by the explosion.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said the air force and army had attacked gunmen who fired upon its troops during an operation in the area launched to "ensure that rocket crews, snipers and tunnel diggers are kept away from the border fence".
The Israeli army said it had "targeted from the air" two Palestinian gunmen who were approaching the soldiers while carrying large bags on their backs.
"A big explosion erupted on the scene... indicating the presence of bombs and explosives in the gunmen's bags," the army said.
"As a result of this big explosion, extensive damage was caused to a house that was near the gunmen and uninvolved civilians were hit."
More than 400 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the last five months, many of them civilians.
The militant group Hamas has run the Gaza Strip since June 2007, when its fighters drove out the forces of Mr Abbas's Fatah movement.
So this is what we're dealing with...a missile is fired from the air at two 'militants' and the resulting explosion and deaths of 5 civilians is the fault of those on the ground.
Instead of banning people maybe the board should ban people who can only communicate their thoughts with a cut and paste....Original thinkers only! Goodbye thread.
Right, because you and Lazymind would love to stop anyone being able to support their thoughts with source material and with reference to the facts. You've probably learned that technique from watching Fox news where reasoned debate is impossible due to 'time constraints' and so you are fed nothing but empty soundbites.
Well, sorry to disapoint you, but I'm gonna continue posting links to sources on here which support what I say.
Also, reasoned debate, or being an 'original thinker' doesn't constitute labelling anyone who's critical of Israeli crimes an obsessive, an anti-Semite, or a Nazi sympathiser.
Still, nice try!
I've posted a lot of threads concerning Americas double standards, and the illegal Israeli occupation.

You're supposed to shrug all that off as conspiracy, make like an ostrich, and support the f-ing troops!!!...
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
prime example of you insulting people. get off your fucking high horse. hmm maybe I'll report you? nah, I'm not a little crying bitch
Just you being here is an insult. Everyone except the mods knows you're Jlew. Kinds of puts paid to the whole point of adhering to the posting guidelines, doesn't it?

when did the mt become 3rd grade. this place needs to be shut down

Apologies - I'm whacked out of my mind on shamrock juice and Catholic shame.
What in the world is Shamrock juice?...Wait, I dont think I want to know the answer.
It's what we Irish drink while we wait for the more progressive countries to bring us carbonated beverages, and other such wonders.
No, no... that's leprechaun vomit.
