Issues and dangers facing Israel

It is obviously the silly season for Israels supporters and apologists starting with this "story" which is thin even by Zionist standards.

Rather than engage their neighbours they prefer to concentrate the Zionist artillery on Ireland, by sending Daniel Seaman to take part in an otherwise unremarkable debate and interview aired on newstalk 106 this morning. Perhaps he took the opportunity to compare notes with their kindred spirits in tghat other political dinosaur that is the DUP?

All the right-wingers including Gourdaiev were, as usual, reading from their pre-prepared Zionists scripts loudly attempting to crush all debate like a metaphorical D9 bulldozer. A real beauty was the argument that after 60 years in refugee camps the Palestinians should simply pack up and leave without a fight. This from the people who left the Middle East 2000 years ago and returned to kick out the Palestinian inhabitants in a spree of ethnic cleansing!

With all the front-page Irish Times hoppin' up and down by wimmin around International Women's Day, how many of those who posed for such photos protested against Israel's refusal to permit Palestinian Arab women from travelling to Ireland to speak last week? There's a belated Women's Day poetry reading in Dublin next week and no doubt, the notable wimmin poets reading at it will criticise Israel for preventing the free movement of their sisters. I doubt it. Some of our men-poets have no moral qualms about travelling to read at Jerusalem poetry fests, sponsored by the Israeli government.

Israel is at the root of the present violence in the Middle East.
Without the existence of Israel there would be no 9/11, no Al-Qaeda, no stand off with Iran over nuclear weapons which it is developing to protect itself from Israel and no Jewish lobby with the power to dictate to the US.

Israel is an illegitimate rogue state established on stolen Arab land.
Not only the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights but the entire state of Israel is occupied land.

The UN must take the lead in dismantling Israel, returning the land to the Arabs and evacuating the Jewish population.

(1) The UN created Israel. If you accept the UN as being legitimate you accept Israel - it is a legitimate state. It maybe rogue - that's different.
(2) the American jewish lobby predated the creation of the state of Israel & until Golda Meir's fund-raising tour was mostly anti-zionist. Until the French pulled the plug, the US did not arm nor offer Israel exception help.
(3) You have decided that 911 was caused by the existence of Israel. What conclusive evidence do you have for that proposition? What conclusive evidence is there that 911 resulted from US foreign policy? Put another way - what happened on 911? & what conclusive evidence can you point to and support your version? conclusive meaning c-o-n-c-l-u-s-i-v-e.
(4) Iranian efforts to build a nuclear power station have nothing to do with creating a nuclear weapon program. They have said as much all the time. The only people who say they are creating a nuclear weapon program are zionists. How can you be anti-zionist & then believe them? Which is it?
(5) evacuation of the Israeli population is an interesting chestnut - where would they go? Do you suggest all outstanding cases of property confiscation in Europe during the Nazi years and Stalinist domination of eastern Europe be settled now? Is that what you're hoping? Do you really want these people you seem to hate back in their ancestral homes in Europe?
