Correction for my other post,in quotation marks:This article is false that money was collected by Jews "for the Irish,it was for for Jews in Ireland".They were trying to take over Ireland as their new homeland at the time.

This article is false that money was collected by Jews for Jews in Ireland.They were trying to take over Ireland as their new homeland at the time. The IRA was even created by the Jews and financed who took over many of the Catholic Churches being hidden Jews to create hatred, and they were behind the famine they wanted the Irish to emigrate or die.These rich powerful Jews held onto the foods sent from UK and held it in the ports. I had no idea about this until my Irish grandmother spilled the beans and told us how and why she had to escape Ireland as a child from the Jewish IRA Mafia because her parents were educators and they were for the Jewish snipers silencing game. If you think this is conspiracy check it out yourself, just the other day it came out that in 1930's when it looked like they the Commie Jews may not get Palestine now mostly Israel,they even tried to take over western Australia and this sensational news was broken in Australia just the other day and its being hushed up!

Hey Kathy Callahan, let's not go overboard. Dip into the Talmud and discover that Jesus is in Hell boiling in hot excrement (Gittin 57a), and that His mother Mary played the harlot with carpenters and with many other men (Sanhedrin 106a). These rabbinical writings are ckock-a-block with vicious anti-Christian rhetoric.

James Joyce channeled Leopold Bloom -a wandering Irish Jew striving hard to try and find his way back home in Ulysses.

Robert Briscoe was the first Irish Jewish Mayor Of Dublin and IRA man. And his son followed in his footsteps, according to the historical record.

I can remember the divisive and vilifying garbage that was spewed by a few religious in classes and hallways of the suburban catholic school that I attended for one year. Toxic remarks, such as, the jews killed jesus (wink/nod) were handed down and inflicted upon captive second graders studing and practicing for their first holy communion. Some were so riled up on the way home from school and stuck in the impressionable mud of misinformation, they hurled bullying punches and insults, "Let's get the kindergarten jew boy now because he killed jesus." In a suburban NJ town sixteen miles from Ellis Island.

Shalom Ireland 2006 is the first film made by Ganley. Asked why she thought the film might appeal to Irish readers, Ganley says the two cultures "have a shared historical experience, both having suffered from discrimination on the basis of religion." In addition, she notes, both groups have lived in the diaspora, creating another level on which they can relate to each other. "That's another thing they have in common —forced from your homeland to live somewhere else and how that affects your psyche and your sense of community and who you are."

Maybe it was ten years ago when the Vatican
officially debunked and denounced the jews killed jesus vitriolic myth. But it served them well for a long while; distracting, ginning up and unifying the base against them. When, up and coming, Cardinal Ratzinger and bishops should have been focusing their energy on rooting out a burgeoning pedophile culture and scandals lurking beneath the surface. Exploding in our midst circa 2010. No?

Enjoyed this article. I grew up in an Irish/Jewish neighborhood. Great inter-marriages and wonderful friends.
Similarities with those who are Jewish and those, Irish,
are vast. Slavery is prominent/ Irish with England and
Israel vs. Egypt. We survived this, are stronger and
have a "link!"

There has certainly been historic interaction between the two, mrfoomutt...which is why it's so ironic, misguided, historically inaccurate and frankly hurtful when certain (not close to ALL) of the Irish attempt to identify with the ARABS rather than the Jews when it comes to the Jews' own ancient land of Israel, and would love to see Jerusalem made JUDENFREI, as the Germans would say ('Jew-free'). Fortunately not all Irish have been deluded in this way, and the warm bond remains.

If my history serves me right, there has been a long generous relationship with the Jewish people and the Irish people.

Someone making it known of a particular tribe insuring he's identified on any matter possible can make a claim.
A contribution of a few dollar I've made to the building of an edifice has my name emblasoned on a plaque within
it. I could now seek to spread being a irish contribeter.
Being a wealthy banker offering $500 is like me offering
a penny.
