  Nothing new. Irish are the most Anti-Semitic breed in Europe. No wonder !

• EamonnDublin | Feb 16, 2013, 12:18 PM EST

  Hi Seán, talk to me on "gavin.pi@gmail.com" - you should definitrly follow through on the Peter Lalor aspect. Best, Éamonn.

• seanomelb | Feb 13, 2013, 06:32 PM EST

  WE had a cousin of my mothers who was known as "Aunt Peg Lalor". If I could prove an ascendency from Peter Lalor that would be a plus. He has a relative here in Melb named Peter Lalor who is a police sgt. in the victoria police.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 13, 2013, 09:20 AM EST

  Hi Seán, So it looks like we ARE related!! Who would have thunk - as the man said. Delighted you are fine and AOK. So then, have you looked up your "Lalor" heritage? Plenty on the net. Your kinship with Peter Lalor should go down very well in Oz. Éamonn.

• seanomelb | Feb 12, 2013, 09:03 PM EST

  All is okay Eamonn,thank you. Lalors,Carrolls and andersons are my heritage. My mothers family Carroll lived in churchST.(or was it Chapel St). many years ago.AS far as I know the lalors are still there.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 12, 2013, 06:44 AM EST

  Seán, My sincere apologies - I hadn't realised what you meant when you said you were going to be away for a couple of days. I trust all went well. Always best to get these things looked at, just in case. All the best, Éamonn.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 11, 2013, 03:35 AM EST

  Hi Seán! This gets "curiouser and curiouser"! My own mother was from Mountmellick!!! A farm just over two miles outside the town, a townland called Cloncannon. My Mum's maiden name was Keating. Her mother was a Lalor, a descendent of the Lalors of James Fintan Lalor fame, and, of probably more interest to you in Australia, Peter Lalor of the "Eureka Stockade". So now you're suckin' diesel - as they say around those (Laois) parts! So, we have St. Vincent's and we have Mountmellick! I wonder if we might even be brothers!!??!! You didn't by any chance have a father named Ted who fought the British singlehandedly for over 72 hours in the Furry Glen? Arrested them all without firing a shot, brought them to Ballyfin College and interned them there for six months before releasing them into the wild? They say he was a very humane man. Second thoughts, he most probably was not your Dad!!!! But seriously, my Mum's part above is correct. Welcome aboard the Midnight Express to Memorabilia! Best Regards, Éamonn. (Surf's Up!)

• seanomelb | Feb 10, 2013, 06:38 PM EST

  BTW eamonn will be away for a couple of days having an angio god knows what tyhey will find. The heart may be wrapped in a palestinian flag which is restricting my blood flow.

• seanomelb | Feb 10, 2013, 06:36 PM EST

  Gee Eamonn!! my mother was from Mountmellick we could be related, I better go easy on you.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 10, 2013, 06:13 AM EST

  Ooops, Seán, I nearly forgot! My father-in-law was born in New York. I'm sure that adds a very significant factor to the conversation. Where was your great-aunt Mary born? Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland (father-in-law from New York, father from Dublin, mother from Laois, wife from Leeds, England ...........)

• EamonnDublin | Feb 10, 2013, 06:08 AM EST

  Seán - This is more than tiresome! What on earth are you talking about? What has your grandfather being born in Manchester got to do with it? Also, t was YOU who said that I hate the Palestinians. I simply said I don't hate them, and I don't love them. Do you think that just because I believe in Jesus as God that I have to LOVE everybody? I am also a human being, with the feelings of a human being. Believing in a God does not confer divinity on anybody, including me. Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

• seanomelb | Feb 09, 2013, 07:11 PM EST

  Wrong again Eamonn MY grandfather was born in Manchester. You do not love the Palestinians,ou do not hate the Palestinians,but you condone the murder of Palestinian men, women and children. How unchristian of you Eamnon!! As Christ said love your enemies pray for them who hate you. Maybe Christ got it wrong as an atheist what would I know.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 08, 2013, 07:00 PM EST

  seán - I have never said I love the Palestinians. I said I don't hate them. Why oh why do you guys have to twist everything? All you are doing is betraying the fact that without twisting what is said by others you cannot argue a straight point. Éamonn, Dublin. I DON'T HATE PALESTINIANS. NEITHER DO I LOVE THEM. (BTW, Seán, of course you support Man. City - they are owned by the Arabs. I have a soft spot for Tel Aviv myself - ever since they played in Tolka Park in a friendly match in the first ever floodlit soccer game in Ireland.)

• seanomelb | Feb 08, 2013, 04:35 PM EST

  I support Manchester city and Eamonn will never condemn Israel for the murder of thousands of their Palestinian neighbours(some love Eamonn).

• EamonnDublin | Feb 08, 2013, 04:48 AM EST

  "Wounded Knee" - I support Leeds United because I lived in Leeds from my emigration there at 15 years of age until my return to Dublin at 36 years of age. Are you REALLY so twisted that you cannot see how anybody can be proud to be Irish and at the same time support an English soccer team? You must lead a painfully sad life! BTW, you will find the meaning of the word "support" in any basic dictionary of the English language - or you can always ask a passing seven year old. Tell me something, do you spend ALL of your time trawling through internet boards looking for something to abuse and attack? Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland. PROUD TO BE IRISH. I STAND WITH ISRAEL. I SUPPORT LEEDS UNITED. I THINK "WOUNDED KNEE" IS A NUT.

• WoundedKnee | Feb 08, 2013, 02:57 AM EST

  "I support Leeds United"--But elsewhere you say you are "PROUD TO BE IRISH". If you're so big on being Irish how come you "support" (what's that mean?) an English soccer team? You sound like a real nut, Eamon.

• Joe Glackin | Feb 07, 2013, 11:41 PM EST

  Sean the point I was making was the Zionist Prime minister Disraeli,s view of our Celtic Irish race.Many Catholics were masons until their threat to Catholicism was exposed.There were masonic lodges of mainly Catholic membership . This doesent alter the fact what the Masons were and are Irish Republican,Catholic ,Nationalist arch enemy.If a certain individual of different identities read their various accusations etc which were refuted and now scraping the barrel for another, is a farce. The UN ,Irish Govt etc must be full of his 2/3 minds crap.If I or any allow hate to drive us then those hated would have power over us.This is getting more playful for some .Trying to build up support by creating another identity. Enjoy your fun together as one. A bheannachti Dhia libh go leir.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 07, 2013, 06:19 PM EST

  Hi Seán, I do not "hate" Palestinians. Wherever have I said that, or wherever have I made remarks about Palestinians that would lead you to that amazing conclusion. Hatred and opposition do not necessarily go hand in glove. I support Leeds United, but I don't hate Arsenal, even when they are competing against each other. Withdraw, please, Sir! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland. I STAND WITH ISRAEL.

• seanomelb | Feb 07, 2013, 05:50 PM EST

  And remember Joe Glackin O'Connell was a master mason and a captain in his majesty's yeomanry and referred to George as "My liege" BTW Eamonn your "absolute hatred" of Palestinians maybe akin to joe's absolute "hatred of Israel". The kettle calling the pot black LOL

• EamonnDublin | Feb 07, 2013, 07:44 AM EST

  Careful, Mister Glackin. Absolute hatred is a terrible thing. It eats away at one and one becomes a warped, evil, caricature. I fear it might be too late, but really, you should pull back a little, as you wouldn't wish to be viewed as the above, now, would you?. Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland. I STAND WITH ISRAEL. I AM PROUD TO BE IRISH.

• StanleyT | Feb 07, 2013, 07:39 AM EST

  And so the creature that calls itself Joe Glackin reveals itself for what it truly is. A raving cesspool of anti-Semitic, bigotted, nasty, writing hatred. What a petty the bandwidth has to get polluted in this way.

• Joe Glackin | Feb 07, 2013, 05:38 AM EST

  British Prime minister Benjamin Disraeli was a Zionist Jew who being supported by the British Masonic powers, were ruling Palestine. The Masonic British Protestant powers were in union with Zionist Jews for eventual hand-over of Palestine.Not all Protestants are Masonic either. When Daniel O Connell was in Britain,s house of commons, claiming Celtic /Irish land rights for our People, the Zionist Jew Prime minister Disraeli, let his views known. Disraeli was against Irish Catholic justice and claimed “"Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honourable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon." . Now Irish lovers who support Israel, believe all Jews are Zionist and try to play games looking for “links, try hopscotch or skipping. Im not into your games

• Joe Glackin | Feb 07, 2013, 05:36 AM EST

  As I said a few days ago that to react to idiots gives them credibility .And its probably the one idiot using different names. These idiots thrive on creating controversy by twisting others words and trying to draw people back into their silly games. They haven’t a clue as their first sentence, usually reveals. They haven’t seen much of life and try to pretend they have, by “links”. They wouldn’t understand these links, as a lot are propaganda for both sides. They have no loyalty as can well be seen. Claiming to love Ireland and supporting Zionist Jew Israel speaks volumes. The Free State Govt and UN have and do condemn Israel ,s atrocities. These idiots don’t know theres a difference between Zionist Jews and the Jewish People. The illegal Zionist Jew State is as hypocritical as these idiots. The Zionist Jews are extreme right, as were the Nazis . They are a disgrace to the memory of 600000 murdered in the Nazi camps. Many of Jewish faith condemn Israel for this plus their actions against Palestine and claiming to represent all Jews. Are Christians a race that need a homeland,. Christians like Jews are citizens of various Countries. Loyalists, neo Nazis groups are Christian so are all of Christianity fascists. Zionists are like loyalists, by making up excuses for their murders as being from the bible. Magda Goebells did this too , for Germany to persecute those of Jewish faith. The Loyalists and KKK as all these Arian cults , hate, Jews , Catholics ,Afro Americans etc . The KKK have come over here to march with their Loyalist Brethern. Yet the Zionist Jew State arms Loyalists and Israeli flags fly allover our 6 Counties in Orange /Loyalist areas. The Masonic masters of Orange /Loyalists have supported Zionist Jews since its 19 centaury birth. They have a common hatred of Celtic race, Catholicism especially Irish.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 07, 2013, 04:31 AM EST

  Seán, In order to retain your magnificent figure, make sure to stay off the hang sangwidges. Éamonn.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 07, 2013, 04:23 AM EST

  Seán, I'm sure you have a fine figure. Éamonn.

• Smyrnian | Feb 06, 2013, 08:45 PM EST

  WKnee - not prim at all and certainly no lies. Inconvenient facts, yes. Once again, personal attacks destroy any credibility you think you may have. Sounding shrill does you no favors and trying to 'correct' people sounds like something your referenced grand Aunt may do. (No disrespect to that fine lady is intended).

• seanomelb | Feb 06, 2013, 05:37 PM EST

  I'm glad Eamonn you do not dispute my figures.

• seanomelb | Feb 06, 2013, 05:37 PM EST

  woundedknee, here's footage of Palestinians celebrating 9/11: youtube dot com slash watch?v=HRA0NKQ0k6E And here's proof that this is real: snopes dot com/rumors/cnn dot asp (replace the word "dot" with a . and the word slash with a /)

• WoundedKnee | Feb 06, 2013, 02:54 PM EST

  Smyrnian has turned quite prim, reminds me of a grand-aunt of mine. Listen, Smyrnian, if you pump lies onto this site I will refute them. Get used to it. Specifically, you made a lying claim about Palestinian reaction to 9/11, and I refuted it. A lie that is whispered remains a lie, and a truth that is shouted is still a truth. I challenge you to provide proof of your hateful claim, or else shut up. And citing propaganda from the AIPAC or Israeli Embassy does not constitute evidence.

• surfsidetx3 | Feb 06, 2013, 11:53 AM EST

  are you really still beating this dead horse? Nothing this woman has said or printed has the "ring of truth" to it.

When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

• StanleyT | Feb 06, 2013, 07:29 AM EST

  To continue, Woundedknee. Israel absorbed the Jewish refugees and turned them into productive citizens. The Arab world has kept the Palestinians separate, in separate camps There are even "refugee camps" in and around Ramallah!!!! And Abbas has stated that even when he gets his state, those refugees will still not become citizens because they must "return". No other refugee population in history has ever passed on its refugee status from generation to generation and no other refugee population in history has ever had a "right to return". In short, there was no ethnic cleansing by the Jews - although there was some by the Arabs - see the Old City of Jerusalem and the Gush Katif area: Jews murdered and pushed out. Summary: The Arabs have always been the agents of their own misfortune. If they accepted Israel and worked with her, imagine how good life could be for all. In fact, you don't have to imagine. Google "What Occupation", also by Efraim Karsh, and read about life between 1967 and 1993, when Israel actually ruled over the Palestinians (they are now ruled by Fatah and Hamas). You'll be very surprised.

• StanleyT | Feb 06, 2013, 07:24 AM EST

  Woundedknee, your history is very, very warped. A few things: Around the end of the 19th century/beginning of the 20th, a small number of Jews began to arrive in the Holy Land, joining those whose families had been there for the last 3,000 years. These Jews bought land - often at highly inflated prices - that was considered worthless. They worked it, drained swamps, planted crops. In 1917, the Ottomans, who then ruled the entire Middle East, lost it to the Allied Powers. In 1920, the Allied Powers granted all of historic Palestine, including Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and what is now Jordan, to the Jews. At the same time, they gave Syria, Lebanon and Mesopotamia (Iraq) to the Arabs. In 1921, Britain sliced off 80% of Palestine and gave it to the Hashemites, despite the fact that most of the population there were what is now known at "Palestinian". Throughout this time, Arabs attacked the Jews in the area, relentlessly and pitilessly. The Jews always had to fight to stay there. In 1937, after the Peel Commission, and again in 1948, after the UN Partition Vote, the Jews accepted yet another partition of their land - and the Arabs yet again rejected it. Five Arab armies attacked the Jews the day the British left, starting a war they couldn't lose - except they did. During that war, they urged the Arab inhabitants to get out of their way so that they could "push the Jews into the sea". Unfortunately, many of those Arabs listened to their leaders (this is all well documented. Read Palestine Betrayed by Efraim Karsh). Soon after the war, more than 800,000 Jews were expelled from Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt etc - an exchange of population that means today, most of Israel's population is NOT from Europe or America, but from the Arab world.

• Smyrnian | Feb 06, 2013, 07:17 AM EST

  WKnee - it is not for you to "correct'' anyone. Yes, it is inconveniently true. The Palestinians did just as I said. You don't have to like it. Also, keep your personal attacks to yourself and, as I have 'corrected' you before, personal attacks diminish you as a person, lessen the impact if your message and destroys any credibility you think you may have. Everyone knows thus but you. you always sound shrill and angry.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 06, 2013, 04:28 AM EST

  "Gammy Knees" - an interesting revelation indeed! So some of the people dancing in the streets immediately after the murder of three thousand innocent people on 9/11 were not Palestinians at all (at all, at all, at all), but were Israeli Jews dressed up to LOOK like Palestinians. Interesting stuff! Can we please have more, such as names, addresses, etc. It would make a great documentary. Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland (but I am currently disguised as a Chinese dragon dancing my way along the Appian Way in Ballsbridge, heading towards Wongs's in Ranelagh). Chow mein, Number 47, please! Éamonn, Dublin.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 06, 2013, 04:15 AM EST

  Seán - Come on, man, surely you can do better than this? Please, Seán, have another read of my posts and then attempt just a tiny bit of lateral thinking as to what they say and what meaning you took from them. I know you are not as stupid as you are trying to make out! Happy Space Day, Éamonn, Dublin.

• WoundedKnee | Feb 06, 2013, 03:36 AM EST

  " Palestinian people who danced in the streets"-- Smyrnian, I corrected this vicious bit of Zionist propaganda on this site some time ago. It is a damn lie. I don't remember whether it was you who circulated this disgusting and deliberate falsehood on that occasion, but you do so now. That means you are a liar, Smyrnian. When I corrected Smyrnian's lie, I wrote that were reports that some Palestinian teenagers started to get off on the 9/11 attacks, but were quickly reprimanded by adults and removed from the streets. Aside from being a liar, Smyrnian is a racist and enemy of freedom. Palestinian people demand freedom, and Smyrhian does dishonest propaganda for oppression and murder. As to Palestinians' right to their homeland, many elderly Palestinians still keep and cherish the keys to their house in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, homes from which they were ethnically cleansed. The huge majority of immigrant Israelis on the other hand came from places like Brooklyn, Russia, Poland. What right did folks from Brooklyn have to go steal other people's homes, to brutalize them, to discriminate against them, and to kill them? The kneejerk support for Israel demanded by Zionists, both Jewish and Christian, represents a wrong turn for US foreign policy. It was not always the US way, for decades we sought a fair balance between Israel and its neighbors. The Support Israel In Everything policy of recent years represents a denial of the values of fairness and freedom that we espouse.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 10:22 PM EST

  Joe Glackin, I've just googled "Irish relief boat sunk" - and guess what? Nothing! So it's hardly surprising you are unable to provide any links to prove your allegations. They're simply not true.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 10:20 PM EST

  Oh dear, Joe Glackin, here we go. I challenge you to provide proof of your blood libels and because you cannot, you attack me in the most childish manner possible. The resort of the bigot and the Jew hater. JCS, show me proof of your allegations. It's not good enough to say you "heard it from a friend". If this incident really happened, provide credible proof. Give us a link. I simply cannot accept that a UNIFIL soldier would have stood by and not reported this to a higher authority. So no, I don't believe posters' stories when that's all they are - stories. Provide the proof I've asked for and then let's talk.

• Joe Glackin | Feb 05, 2013, 09:23 PM EST

  Jcs.The Irish Army were there but replying to an idiot like Stanley Laurel is bringing this conversation down.Strange when thew Irish relief boat was sank last year how the censored Israeli reported it.An Irish soldier on UN spokeof how a pregnant woman was murdered by israeli troops.They said she was a suicide bomber. Similar when the Brits shot children here.Reacting to idiots like Stanley Laurel only gives their crap a bit of credibility.

• Jcs | Feb 05, 2013, 08:25 PM EST

  StanleyT, you seem to have difficulty in believing other posters stories,the only stories you want to believe are your own stories.

• seanomelb | Feb 05, 2013, 07:50 PM EST

  Eamonn not even the Israeli's believe your Bull. The official (Israeli) figures for total jewish civilian deaths. Since 1948 3,000 Israeli civilians have been killed (not including the three wars) and 25,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed over the same period. I suggest you see an optometrist Eamonn you may be one eyed.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 07:18 PM EST

  Hoo boy, Joe Glackin, you are clearly incoherent. Hatred will do that to someone. And what media is censored? Are you suggesting Israeli media is censored? Then you really do not know what you're talking about. Take a look at Haaretz for one. JCS - since when are UNIFIL soldiers too afraid of Israel to report atrocities like this? I don't believe that story for a moment. If it had really happened, the entire world would know about it.

• Smyrnian | Feb 05, 2013, 06:16 PM EST

  Ah yes. Would this be the very same Palestinian people who danced in the streets when thousands of innocent men, women and children were killed by their Muslim brothers on 9-11? As for their Palestinian 'homeland', I suggest they talk to the Jordanians about that since they have most of what was the original 'state' of Palestine.

• Jcs | Feb 05, 2013, 05:56 PM EST

  Friends of mine served with the UN peace core along the Israel Lebanon border in the 1980s and spoke many times of how the Israeli forces shot Hezbollah suspects dead at these border checkpoints. These Irish soldiers told me that they were told to take a walk whenever the Israel troops suspected they had stopped a Hezbollah suspect, and they told me that those suspects were summarily executed by the Israeli forces at those road side checkpoints.By their account the Israeli troops had a free reign of terror when it came to eliminating anyone they suspected were a threat to Israel,even the innocent as well as the terrorists.

• Joe Glackin | Feb 05, 2013, 05:21 PM EST

  Stanley T . Report and investigate a censored media. You havent a clue. The Israeli News and papers will enlighten you and how ridiculous of you to accuse anyone of lying as you clearly havent a clue by your statement on reporting. Eamonn Dublin I dont play games on issues like this as its disrespecting. I DONT drawn into whatever games you or knowledgeable Stanly are at. This is not a subject to use for whatever reasons to support Zionist Jew atrocities against Palestinians for .Eamonn you may support Israel for whatever reasons but the Zionist Jew or Masonic Protestant detest Irish,Gaelic,Celtic and Catholics. Im not wasting time trying to win scores here.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 03:41 PM EST

  John44, I guarantee that if you investigate those "literally thousands" of videos, articles and reports, you would find that 99.9% of them are, at the very least, dubious. The Palestinians make all sorts of claims that don't stand up to investigation, but as Goebbels has been quoted as saying, when a lie is big enough and repeated often enough, it soon enough becomes "the truth".

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 03:11 PM EST

  Joe Glackin, here's how I know you are lying. If you were there and you "seen" the incident you describe, you would have reported it. If you had reported it, it would have been investigated. If it had been investigated, it would have been front page news around the world. It wasn't, therefore you could not have seen anything like the event you describe.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 05, 2013, 03:08 PM EST

  I posted a link to a film, guaranteed "genuine", of a group of Palestinians opening up with machine guns on over a thousand Israeli women and children and killing each and every one of them - but it has been censored. I was there, and I "seen" it. Before John44 and Joe G. lose it again and start their vicious abuse, I am just being sarcastic. But I'm sure they get the point. What's that, lads? You DON'T get the point? My, this is even worse than I had thought! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

• John44 | Feb 05, 2013, 02:54 PM EST

  @stanley. I posted some links to back up opinions but they have obviously bee censored. Thee are literally thousands of videos,articles and reports on the internet about Israel's treatment of Palestinians and their children. Don't bury your head in the sand

• Joe Glackin | Feb 05, 2013, 02:03 PM EST

  STANLYT I was there and seen it.. ITS fact and its your historical belief etc.With that it could also be said your history is nothing but Zionist Jew history.Your attitude to sufferings of the Palestinian people are not oppression. I would encourage you to live there for a while.Maybe your understanding of oppression might change.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 01:54 PM EST

  One more question for you, Joe Glacken about your story of the school. You don't explain why Hamas was, in the first place, firing rockets from the top of a school while classes were in session (if the story is even true). You don't THAT's a war crime???

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 01:50 PM EST

  Joe Glacken, I challenge you to provide proof of your allegations of the abuse of "young lads" by IDF soldiers. Show me photographs, links, anything impartial. Or are you going purely on the word of some Palestinians, who tell you they know somebody who saw somebody tell them about a friend who saw it happen? This is nothing but another blood libel, like so many others aimed at Israel. And by repeating it without any proof, you do nothing but demonstrate your own bigotry and hatred.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 01:47 PM EST

  Little boys throwing stones? Take a look on YouTube for the Palestinian girl screaming at Israeli soldiers, tugging their clothes, desperately trying to get them to react for the cameras. Would they really do that if they feared the Israeli soldiers would react the way you've heard they do? If you do believe that, then you're completely blinded to reality. I would suggest that both of you need to google San Remo Conference of 1920. You will discover that all of Judea and Samaria and all of Jerusalem (and, in fact, all of what is today Jordan) were set aside for "close Jewish settlement". This was enshrined in the Mandate for Palestine - and those legal terms were carried forward by Chapter 80 of the UN Charter. (Incidentally, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq were created at the same conference, so if you dispute the legality of Israel, you must dispute the legality of those other countries as well.) So on the contrary, Israel withing the green line, and the so-called West Bank, all belong to the Jews under clear international law. But what about the Arabs already there, you ask. Well, how about this, from the 1937 Peel Report: "The general beneficent effect of Jewish immigration on Arab welfare is illustrated by the fact that the increase in the Arab population is most marked in urban areas affected by Jewish development. A comparison of the Census returns in 1922 and 1931 shows that, six years ago, the increase percent in Haifa was 86, in Jaffa 62, in Jerusalem 37, while in purely Arab towns such as Nablus and Hebron it was only 7, and at Gaza there was a decrease of 2 percent" What you believe is "history" is nothing but Arab propaganda. And the same goes for your modern stories. They are mostly just as false as the "history" you believe is true.

• StanleyT | Feb 05, 2013, 01:46 PM EST

  John44 and Joe Glackin, have you ever spoken to Israelis? Have you ever asked a citizen of Sderot what it's like to be given a 15 second warning before a rocket crashes through your roof - hint: that's not enough time to sleep in your own bed. You have to sleep in the basement with your children to keep them safe. Joe, you talk about "Israel stolen territory" - but Hamas rockets are fired into areas within the green line, which most of the world accepts as Israel's "border" (it's not really - it's merely an armistice line, where fighting stopped in 1948). Have you ever gone to an Israeli mall or restaurant or theatre and had to endure being searched thoroughly to make sure you are not carrying a bomb? Have you ever been invited to an Israel wedding or Bar Mitzvah, and noticed on the invitation that "security is provided" - provided, of course, you go through a search? Do you think Palestinians are the only ones who have to go through check points? And why do you think those checkpoints exist? Do you know that every time Israel dismantles a checkpoint, there is a terrorist attack within days?

• Joe Glackin | Feb 05, 2013, 01:18 PM EST

  Theres plenty of evidence filmed about Hamass on the school roof , nothing on the aterrmath

• Joe Glackin | Feb 05, 2013, 01:03 PM EST

  StanleyT. As John44 says is correct and very moderate to when I and others went there in the 80,s.The refugee camps were filled with 2 generations of captive families.These were Palestinians who were driven off their land replaced by Communist Jews from Russia.By their Communist indoctrination these Jews easily fitted into the Kabutz system.By being totally impartial, I rem Israeli troops catching young Palestinian as 4 yo upwards boys who had been throwing stones. They would stretch the young lads arms out and break them by smashing rocks ,these soldiers had in their hands. I know that about 5 Hamass went on the roof of a school and fired rockets into Israel stolen territory. The rockets were inaccurate and mainly hit waste ground, disturbing the local Rabbit population. Others hit well fortified Army posts plus probably deserted residential areas.The Israelis hit back by destroying the school and many children ,teachers inside, They who survived were not nice to see. The 5 Ha-mass were long gone.I know suicide bombers boarded buses in Israel and caused horrific carnage.It was not hard getting these suicide bombers as they were in hell anyway. We were there as neutral volunteers.We were ordered out as seen a threat to revealing the Israeli attrocities. Its possible as Israel claimed Hamass used some groups to bring in hardware. It didnt need much convincing for whoever did.But it was Israels excuse to stop human aid plus murder of volunteers. Recently they were hitting Gaza again. So Stantly T ,would you call that mildly ,just oppression.

  StanleyT, May I suggest you go to Israel, cross through one of the hundreds of Israeli checkpoints into the West Bank, where the indigenous Palestinian people face daily humiliations, speak to the inhabitants when you eventually get through . You will first of all get a warm friendly welcome. Ask them about their lives under the belligerent Israeli occupation. Ask them how they are getting on with the 5 years of non violent protests, the unprovoked attacks by illegal settlers, the burning of thier only means of making a living , their olive tress etc, etc. Then when you come home lobby to have your press to start reporting the REAL news of what is happening , funded by US dollars.I know because I lived and worked there for several years and also in Israel.

  @ timhorgan – the problem with multiple posts has nothing to do with your PC, most ICentral posters are having the same problem. I’ve found a way around it… post yr comment as normal by pressing the ‘Submit’ button, DON’T click the ‘Submit’ button again or again and again when you’d expect the preview panel to appear . Instead, wait a few seconds, click the ‘Return to Article’ button, then click ‘See all comments’ and you should see yr post appear. Mind you, I’ve often forgotten my own advice! IC people have to sort out the problem quickly... I'm not going to read through 300 posts that could be wrapped up in about 5.

• AlunPalmer | Feb 04, 2013, 04:54 PM EST

  I am very much in favour of the Palestinians, and have to struggle constantly to point out that I am against Israeli oppression, not against Jews. This is made harder by Jews who identify strongly with Israel, i.e. they don't want to disambiguate the two, but heaven help anyone on the other side that doesn't, even if they are schoolkids collecting to plant olive trees. OTOH, I believe they probably did say that the Jews killed Jesus, but where did they get that from? Either their priest or their parents, I reckon.

  Wow. I am stunned and absolutely horrified by the hatred shown here, based on misinformation or deliberate and blatant lies. If this is the nature of Irish "understanding" of the Middle East, then the only thing Ms. Honig is guilty of is under-stating the case. To read any comment by John44, for example, is to shudder in disgust. This person is so filled with hatred and lies, it's hard to imagine how he can live in his skin. What a shame that a beautiful country like Ireland can be home to such bigotry.

And this is the woman who feigns shock at her own obviously concocted story about Kerry schoolchildren. EXTRACT- Last week’s High Court decision to open Route 443 to both Jewish and Arab traffic generated lots of squawk. However, another decision, only months earlier, to forbid “mixed” traffic failed to excite much interest. The petitions in both cases were nearly identical, yet the rulings appear completely contradictory. One common denominator, though, does stand out – both decisions are detrimental to Jews. No way can the High Court of Justice be accused of inconsistency – not even when it blatantly applies diametrically different logic to different litigants. How come? Because despite ruling that it’s unsafe for Dolev residents to use the same road as their Arab neighbors, the highest court in our land now forces these very same Dolev residents to share another road – 443 – with equally bloody-minded Arabs.

  This whole anti-Jewish hatred was created by Zionists to win support for its own Jewish conquests in the nineteenth century. Similar here, not too long ago. Remember if an RUC man was killed, the Unionist Masonic outbursts “They are murdering Protestants”. If the RUC man was a Catholic, not a word, as it didn’t suit their intentions. Similar with Zionist Jews. World Jewish orders represent the Jewish people as a whole not Zionist Israel. There are staunch opposes of Zionism controlled Jews within the Jewish race faith. Similarly World Protestantism is not Masonic. Israel does not belong to Jews as our 6 Counties don’t to Protestants.

  . Ireland and Palestine have similar historical and present injustices, atrocities etc. Israel is Illegal in different ways for example by the fact, when it was being negotiated through UN 1947 on its size, all hostilities were stopped whatever land was in their possession would be granted. While these negotiations were occurring, Jewish settlers and their paramilitaries (Terrorists) continued their pogroms in outer areas .These lands which were then granted makes Israel illegal. Who created the anti-Jewish /Israeli hatred, on some Irish, only Zionism, like Mason-ism for(Protestants).There are many Jewish people who detest the Zionists like Protestants do Masons. Eamonn your truth is very limited, if going on whoever boos at National anthems etc. Your comment regarding Israeli use of weaponry is an absolute disgrace to humanity.. Israel uses far more force than necessary, but never annihilate Palestine, as this would have a definite impact on the US censorship by Israeli atrocities. America backs and supports Israel for strategic reasons and in a way are being blackmailed by that Zionist Junta. Moreover the continued atrocities against Palestinians create untold Propaganda for Muslim/Islamic extremists.

  To EamonnDublin.It’s not acceptable for anyone sending hate mail containing racist, sectarian abuse. It must be understood that Government and the Media misrepresent situations which give rise to this. Government also have the responsibility by their actions/wording in the goodwill of its citizens.. When Carson claimed in 1922 that our 6 Counties were a "Protestant State for a Protestant People" it gave the green light for discrimination and murder of Catholics/nationalists, when opportunities arose. We see today what followed .A view of Protestants was of what Carson and Britain granted to them. Not all Protestants agreed or wanted to act, as were allowed. But the term Protestant created fear, etc. This was not Protestants in England, Europe or the US etc. but in Ireland. The Zionist Leader Gurion declared similar in 1947 The Jewish State of Israel as Carson did here. What followed are still the brutal atrocities against Palestinians.

  Firstly I think the views of 3 schoolboys cannot be taken as being the voice or even representative of Irish views. We see the kaleidoscope of views on this site to prove that. Secondly Israel's conduct is anti democratic and may well be categorised as terrorism. Israel admits to bombing whole buildings of people to kill one man! Israel has used chemical weapons including phosphorus on the civil population of Palestine! You do not defeat a terrorist when you become a terrorist!!

  Get a grip, Seán. It's far from all one way traffic - and very well you know it. Should I accuse you of supporting a group of people who randomly and indiscriminately launch missiles into Israel on a regular basis - and the only reason that they don't cause total and utter annihilation is that they don't possess the necessary weaponry to so do? Israel DOES possess such weaponry, but it does not use it - if it did use it then there would be no Palestinians. When I initially made my point, I said that I awaited the vile comments in "response". I really hoped you, Seán, might restrain yourself just a little, but no! Éamonn, Dublin.

  Subsequent to my post I've just read therest of the comments. It appears that this Sarah woman goes around the world actively seeking out 'anti-semitism' wherever it exists. She's done Sweden, Switzerland and now it's Ireland. There's a word in modern Hebrew 'hasbara' which lies somewhere between 'propaganda' and 'misinformation'. It's used by those who seek to promote a positive sympathetic view of Israel internationally. But, by their actions shall we know them. As Jews or Israelis they attract never ending opprobrium from the international community for their ongoing theft of Palestinian lands and homes.

• Ron | Feb 03, 2013, 02:42 PM EST

  I suspect it's been a 'no news day' at the Jerusalem Post or wherever she's employed. There's an element of hypocritical double standards here. One one hand the Israelis, and their Zionist forefathers, justify their theft of Palestine, calling it the Jewish homeland. It doesn't surprise me that young kids conflate the two concepts, Jews and the Jewish 'homeland'.

• EamonnDublin | Feb 03, 2013, 09:24 AM EST

  "John44" - So you think I should tell lies in order to conceal the truth about some Irish opinion? I think we should look hard at ourselves and, in addition to all of the really good things, of which there are many, we should also take note of the negative things. I stand fully over what I said. It's not up to ME to change my opinion in the face of truth, it's up to people like you to face the truth - which is all around you - that some Irish people hate Israel and the Jewish people. By the way, I was at the Israelis in Ireland demonstration on O'Connell Street a few weeks ago. At the end of the proceedings, I proudly sang the IRISH national anthem. The Israeli/Jewish people proudly sang the IRISH national anthem. The PALESTINIAN supporters, many of them Irish, who were there in opposition to the peaceful demonstration, loudly BOOED and JEERED the IRISH national anthem. And YOU think I'M in the wrong!!??!!!! Éamonn, Dublin.

• hollabackgurl | Feb 03, 2013, 08:36 AM EST

  Schlomo writes that the Irish loathe the Israelis. He/she then makes a series of equally drastic charges. This is all insupportable nonsense, however. But after damning the entire nation he/she then insults them: 'It's a pity the Irish are so steeped in a mental morass they can't see the truth...' You have just insulted and condemned the entire country, you have just accused them of being halfwits steeped in a 'mental morass,' whatever that is. The thing is that you're doing what you're complaining of. You did not have 'boots on the ground in Ireland for 20 years' or you'd know what a crock you were trying to push.

• timhorgan | Feb 03, 2013, 07:13 AM EST

  Sarah Honig hates the good and decent people of Sweden as well. Here is part of an earlier rant by her against Sweden.......EXTRACT: Sweden is beautiful – home to beautiful blonde, blue-eyed Nordic types who spare no effort to stress just how beautiful they are. Claiming a superior streamlined aesthetic, the beautiful people export beautiful designs – as in IKEA and H&M brands. Likewise resplendent in smug moral self-satisfaction, they idolize their own idealized virtue and spare no effort to convert the rest of the world to their more august standards and unadulterated perceptions of goodness. They are better than the rest of us, certainly better than Jews, whom they don’t quite like. Just in a 2006 survey, 41 percent of Swedes admitted to harboring anti-Semitic sentiments in varying degrees. Among them, some categorized their anti-Semitism as “extreme.” Moreover, it stands to reason that many of those who didn’t admit to judeophobia cannot be counted as lovers of Zion.

  "John44". You have posted two sentences below. These include thre statements only, each of which are factually and totally incorrect. 1) I was born in Dublin and I live in Dublin (Ireland). 2) I am Irish by birth and I LOVE Ireland. 3) I most certainly do not "hate" my fellow countrymen and women. How you have come to your conclusion that I hate my fellow country men and women is a mystery to me. Love of anybody or anything can include seeing their differences, their good points, their wrong points, their guided and/or misguided views. The fact that I say that many people in Ireland hate Israel and the Jews is my own viewpoint, to which I am entitled as I see and hear their views repeatedly. It most certainly does not mean that I hate Irish people.

• timhorgan | Feb 03, 2013, 04:30 AM EST

  Sarah Honig on the Swiss again. On 1 May 2008 she follows up her rant of 27 March 2008 with another rant. This time making a claim of receiving anti-semitic hate mail from the Swiss and Arabs - the same trick she is now pulling with the Irish......EXTRACT: Few of my past columns have elicited as much hate-mail as a recent Tack on perfidious Swiss neutrality. Several messages, oozing with particular vitriol, were signed by Arab names. The authors of others purported to be Swiss. Though in cyberspace nothing should be taken at face value, some of what supposedly originated on the Alpine moral high ground did have that ring of authenticity – like the one which affirmed the precedence of Swiss interests over “some goddamned foreigners,” i.e. Jews. “No wonder we Swiss don’t like your people,” the writer summed up.

• timhorgan | Feb 03, 2013, 04:13 AM EST

  The Irish are in good company - Honig had a racist rant against the Swiss (her blog 27 March 2008)trotting out the usual lies about Swiss neutrality and anti-semitism about another decent, hard-working people.........EXTRACT:But that’s a silly complaint. Switzerland could no more have sold its principles than it could have sold its soul to the devil. For all its syrupy sanctimony, it has no principles – much less a soul. Switzerland is no rookie at playing footsie for profit with genocidal tyrants, especially the sort not overly enamored of Jews. It has long aspired to match its Alpine chocolate-box prettiness with claims of lofty moral beauty. Neutrality is but one expression of its self-ascribed virtue. The Red Cross is another. Founded and based in Geneva, its stated mission is to alleviate suffering regardless of nationality, race, religion, class or politics. Its passivity – if not far worse – toward European Jewry’s bitter fate during the Holocaust is a matter of indisputable record.

• Schlomo | Feb 03, 2013, 04:12 AM EST

  I've had "boots on the Emerald Isle ground" for 2 decades and i can attest the huge majority of the Irish HATE Jews and loathe Israel. They see Israel as Great Britain and Palestine as THEM. Yes, it's a kindergarden mentality but it is reality. When a 5 year old receives propaganda from his parents or another authority figure there is no rational thinking. And the Irish have been bombarded by the "church" and the Socialist Sinn Fein for years about the evilness of the Jews. Believe it or not there are less than 2,000 Jews living in Ireland now and their numbers are decreasing. While the number of Muslims is currently headed past 50,000. This Isreali reported learned the reality of the Cultural hatred first hand and when she spoke out in her article the seething, anti-Jew vitriol tap in Ireland opened wide. I'm not surprised and I predict demonstrations at the Israeli embassy soon. It's a pity the Irish are so steeped in a mental morass they can't see the truth.

• olovely | Feb 02, 2013, 11:38 PM EST

  Her article has the authentic ring of phony fiction. I have never heard the Irish people more libeled by a blatantly mendacious opportunist. Her 'article' is a check list of antisemitic charges that exists only in her imagination. Irish children aren't frothing Jew-bashers, even unintentionally. This woman needs to apologize to the Irish people and explain herself to Israel.

• timhorgan | Feb 02, 2013, 08:48 PM EST

  The two biggest stories concerning school, education and racism in Israel, and indeed worldwide, in recent years are- 1) Israeli racism in EILAT where black immigrants are not allowed to attend local schools. All other immigrants, as long as they are Jewish, are welcome. 2) Nurit Peled Elhanen of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem published a well-researched book showing clearly how schools in the State of Israel are racist in their descriptions of Palestinians. Both have provoked much comment yet Sarah Honig has not covered these stories of gross and persistent state-sponsored racism. That tells us all we need to know about her.

  The Israeli’s dislike the Irish because we will not back down on our condemnation of there atrocities in Palestine. Also who are they to complain about anti-semitic or anti Jewish comments after there Anti-Irish & anti-Christian Posts, comments and likes on the Israeli Embassy FaceBook page in Dublin at Christmas, only taken down after an Irish journalist seen them, and the TV program broadcast across Israel in December mocking the Irish. The people of the world know and regret what happened 69 years ago resulting in 70 million deaths including the Jewish people who suffered. We are reminded thousands of times of how the Jews suffered in those dark days yet It seems most of the civilized world learned from that horror except the Israeli’s who continue to kill and oppress the Palestinians for there land and there Souls. Watch this YouTube video “There Killing Children in Palestine 1” but be warned at what you will witness, No civilized human being can condone there war-crimes.

  Ultra-Orthodox young men curse and spit at Christian clergymen in the streets of Jerusalem's Old City as a matter of routine. In most cases the clergymen ignore the attacks, but sometimes they strike back. Last week the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court quashed the indictment against an Armenian priesthood student who had punched the man who spat at him.

  Dear tbradynumber1: If you steal someone's land, bulldoze their homes, kill and/or imprison their children, deny them the right to work and trade and educate their young, refuse to let them build homes after theirs have been taken, and refuse to let them return should they travel abroad, they will probably not like you much. You would not need 'foreign insurgents' to urge you to defend your right to exist. Everything in nature defends itself and its young as well as it can. Even Palestinians, whose main fault, it seems, is that they are not Jews. . . . .

• John44 | Feb 02, 2013, 05:36 PM EST

  smallvillenyc. This woman's editor will say nothing to her . The Jpost has form when it comes to insulting and writing lies about Ireland. The principal and teachers of the school have vehemently denied this story. I believe them before I would trust a proven liar. An article in the Kerryman newspaper said "He said "...the students of Coláiste na Sceilge have been imbued with a deep sense of sympathy for European Jewry from their earliest years. Not one of them would harbour anything other than pride over the exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican, Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty." "Indeed their Trócaire collection for Palestinian aid took place mere yards from yards from a memorial to the Monsignor. That was erected by the people of Cahersiveen as gratitude and thanks for the the figure of the priest who risked his life to save Jews from Nazis in Rome during WWII."

• Springfield9 | Feb 02, 2013, 05:27 PM EST

  It all sounds a bit strange. Questiooning school children is foolish - they are children. And yes, I went to St. Michael's and we heard that the Jews crucified Christ. It was a little over-simplfied. If she wants a peaceful life, write the cooking column.

• smallvillenyc | Feb 02, 2013, 05:25 PM EST

  I really don't think The lady was out to attack the Village of Cahirsiveen in Kerry. She was bringing to light what she may or may not have encountered while there. There will always be two sides to every story, Her and the Children, Israel and Palestine. etc. If it's true, the kids really should not have spoken about Jewish People like that? Even Jesus was a Jew, and Jesus certainly would not approve of hatred for anyone! If it's not true what she wrote about, then she will face the consequences from her Editor or other forces that there may be out there.. It is hard to know what to believe on the internet, in the Paper, etc. It's up to everyone to research it more and come to our conclusions. I am certain it is not impossible (perhaps unlikely) for kids to say such things, and kids say the worst things sometimes without realizing how bad it is to say. Kids can be mean in the world today and years before..Nothing new there. And Writers may embellish or lie about their story, has been known to happen also. Let's not jump on the bandwagon and curse this woman out of it??!! How can any of us be so certain ,so quickly that she is lying? Innocent until Proven Guilty comes to mind here. Both Parties . :)

• adrienrain | Feb 02, 2013, 05:23 PM EST

  seanomelb - most people don't know any of the history of modern Israel and Palestine. Because of the genuine horrors of Hitler's Holocaust, people WANT them to be angels, and their enemies devils. Others want to believe the Palestinians are angels - they are the wronged party, after all. But the human race - altho' it may occasionally produce a saint - never produces a nationality or race or even family of angels or devils.

• seanomelb | Feb 02, 2013, 05:09 PM EST

  Eamonn supports the murder of palestinian children and the land grab of Pallestinian olive groves. He vehemently supports the terrorist Israeli army. He cares not that they ran riot through the Negev desert filling in Palestinian wells, destroying water tanks and encasing villages i9n barbed wire. The world should arm the Palestinian to rid Palestine of the Israeli fascist forces.

• adrienrain | Feb 02, 2013, 05:01 PM EST

  To answer an earlier question about the root of the matter, google the map of Palestine from the 40s till now, and you'll see it has gotten smaller and smaller. Pretty soon the theological question of how many Palestinians can dance on a pin will be answered. They are fighting to stop the seizure of their land and homes and farms. ANYONE will fight for that.

  I too sympathize with the Palestinians, and I don't rely on mythology to govern my political decisions. But hatred and antisemitism are terrible.

• tbradynumber1 | Feb 02, 2013, 04:36 PM EST

  Can someone please tell me what it is I'm missing about the Israel-Palestine conflict. I have heard the news and seen the newspaper reports and have kept abreast of the situation for quite a while. But every Irish person (that's Irish people living in Ireland) that I've talked to has this view that the Israelis are 100 per cent at fault and the Palestinians did absolutely nothing wrong (to a certain extent many of them are blameless - it's those foreign insurgents in their country who are perpetuating a war for their own selfish interests). But simple logic should tell you that there are two sides to every story. However there only seems to be one side to blame in the eyes of many Irish people (I'm Irish myself, living abroad). Just so we're dealing with the same set of facts - the Palestinians (or those claiming to act on their behalf) have fired hundreds of missiles into Israel between February 2012 and the beginning of the recent conflict. The only reason it made the news was because Israel retaliated. So again I ask what is it that the Israelis have done that's so wrong, and how blameless are the Palestinians? Maybe I am missing something major. If so please explain.

She can read comments on this board every day from native Irish and Irish-Americans, which illustrate in a most vile way that the children with whom she spoke are simply reflecting the feelings of people who take "their" opinions from a left wing, pink/red, so-called "liberal" media, including many of our politicians. It is now almost verboten in Ireland to even hint that you support Israel. I SUPPORT ISRAEL!!! And I await the spew of hateful vomit from some of you out there.

I myself experienced a very positive pilgrimage to Israel in April, '09 where they were generous to a fault. But just like Britian and Ireland, Israel and Palestine need to resolve outstanding constitutional issues. Perhaps we can help each other?

During the holocaust the Irish censor prevented the airing or reporting of the concentration camps. The Irish turned away thousands of jewish men, women and children from their ports, as they desperately sought refuge. They myopically align themselves with the 'Palestinians' mistakingly assuming they are 'victims' of an oppressor. Who currently possess the majority of the land formerly known as the Palestine Mandate? Jordan. Think the Ignorami Irish will ever stand up in outrage against Jordan?? Not as long as they continue their convenient blind hatred of all things Jewish. DeValera's legacy? Hitler is alive and well living on in many Irish hearts. It saddens me to the core.

  It seems some of you folks are creating a tempest in a tea cup. Many people went through the horrors of WW II in Europe, Eire, being neutral was lucky to escape the turmoil. If German Paratroopers had dropped into Eire, the LDF, would not have been able to stop them. Winston would have sent British Army troops over the border, and the Yanks there would have joined them. Many countries in Europe where trashed by both sides, but the Germans and the Reds where the worsts. A good hero amongst them was Father Maximilian Kolbe who took the palce of a prisoner condemmed to starvation in Auschwitz.

  Being raised Catholic, I was taught that Jesus, Mary & Joseph were Jewish. If anything, the Jewish people were elevated in their station by being Christs human family. It wasn't until I saw biblical movies, as a teenager that I discovered the politics of the hierarchy that lead to condemning Jesus. It's some bizzare notion that each religion has this contract on God. God is there for everyone, nobody has a right to claim him or use God as an excuse to abuse anyone.

  It is regrettable that some Jews think using the "anti-semitic" card as a means of shutting off any legitimate debate or criticism of Israeli behavior towards their Palestinian neighbors. Based on our long history struggling against British tyranny, the Irish have always been sympathetic to the underdogs and victims who find themselves under the boot of a harsh, oppressive military occupation. Rather than be so concerned about Irish kids in Kerry, perhaps Sarah should be interviewing kids of Israeli settlers on the occupied West Bank about their attitudes towards people who are non-Jewish and specifically towards Palestinians.

  RobinForester, I would caution you about your diseminating information as fact about the Catholic Church during the time of Hitler. Many accounts, many documentations would highly refute your claims about the details of any deals made between Rome and Berlin. The Vatican (under Mussolini) was in a horrendous precarious situation. They did not want Rome bombed for one, and so on. Hitler could have easily overtaken the whole Vatican and destroyed it if the pope and the Church went too far in their aggession or speeches against him and Naziism. After all, Germany and Italy were allies in this war. I challenge what you said and I caution you.

  There is an Arab funded Information league to distribute false information to the world that 'Palestine is a bullied by Israel, and its peace loving people (sic) are a worthy cause for aid'. The facts are: non-Palestinian terrorists are allowed to live in Palestine and encouraged to lob rockets over the Israel Border, which occasionally kill a group or family. Did you know the best known Palestinian was Yasser Arafat, he posed as an hero, a Arab Mother Teresa fiigure, a martyr, a spokesperson whose clothing was carefully chosen to suggest a man-of-the-people living in poverty. The truth is he was one of the best con men who ever lived, when he died it was discovered he had $3.6 million dollars in his secret Swiss bank account which his wife was told to return or face trial and jail. As for Catholic hatred of Jews this cannot be denied. People are unaware that the WW2 Pope struck a deal with Hitler, the deal was that if Hitler would allow the Catholic Church to convert Russia and East Europe to the Catholic faith, and it would be the leading Russian church, then he/they would not speak out and protest the killing of the Jews in Hitlers Camps. Acting through the informant services of dozens of Catholic Church Bishops and hundreds of priests, the Pope knew full well what was going on in greater Europe during the Holocaust. Irish people need to know that virtually outside the main entrance gates of all the 6 main Nazi death camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, was a Catholic church. No Polish Priest ever went to anyone of the larger camps and enquired 'Whats going on here', or who said "this must stop immediately." Bus loads of children and teenagers were being bused in to be gassed. For proof Google Chelmno, Hartheim, Treblinka, Belzec, and Google "The Popes Silence during WW2" .

  Those three young kids are not far removed from a consensus of American adults. Simply uneducated on the subject to be sure, prejudiced to a smaller degree perhaps. Less than one in one hundred understand this conflict and the history of this land in the past century. AND IF YOU DID! You just might be remorseful for how much contempt you have for the Jews in this land. Yes, I feel for the Palestinians, probably more so than all their wealthy Arab brothers and neighboring nations who choose to keep them in squalor instead of helping them or letting them emigrate to their countries --- because --- they despise the Jews and choose to use their Palestinian brothers as victims and pawns. Disgraceful.

Then yo add the post by map pads with the general racism and generalization of Jews as wingers whiners etc. and then saying the Jews are "expansionists"... The sly supilty of "liking a good Jewish joke"tells it all as an acceptance of denigration of people by way of their race. disgusting! I remember in the 60's repeating to the priest his catch ism that Jews killed Christ. But Ireland and the rest of the world have moved far beyond such ugly and crass generalizations. Whenever racialism shows up it is up to every person to stand up and challenge it. Let us teach all of our children to always do that and never accept or let those insidious comments pass for funny.

To try and persuade us that three Irish kids said it in 2013 is simply delusional. However, labelling a Trocaire collection as a fundraiser for terrorists is beyond delusional. That's downright paranoid.

  I was never taught in religious instruction classes, that the Jews killed Jesus. I did hear it from people who grew up before Vatican II. I dislike Jews for their behavior, not for their religious beliefs. On the other hand I really despise Arabs & Muslims too. I think those boys should collect money for Irish people, and let the Palestines help Palestinians, Jews help Jews.

  Hey paddyRanger. Sorry but you are wrong in your statement regarding the atlas. And who are you to call me a numptyhead. I could insult you but I was taught to pray for the feeble minded. I'll say one for you tomorrow. Go online and check out 'map palestine pre 1945". A numpty? maybe....thick? no.

  whatever, so they didn't tow the Likud party line. She is childish. The Jerusalem Post is a right wing rag. If that two bit phoney needs to look at hate she can google spitting Haaretz. Christians in Israel need to hide during Purim fest. (ubless they want a big gob of phlegm in their face) Google that too. Also see failed messiah dot com and the way Arabs are treated. As one black dude told me Jews are the most self righteous bigots.

  Madpadd "When I was a kid going to school in Ireland, my Atlas said Palestine on the country now called Israel."..........You should go back and look at your school Atlas again then ye numptyhead, for the AREA called Palestine before 1947, it's now JORDAN and Isreal, the ARABS have MOST of it, check facts before spouting lies, you people talk about propoganda from Isreal, what about the lies and muck spreading from so called friends of Palesine. First of all there has NEVER been a country called Palestine, FACT, second, there has never BEEN a people called Palestinians either another new myth spun in recent times. BEFORE 1947 anybody who lived in the area of Palestine ruled by Turkey INCLUDING JEWS were called Palestinians, so even JEWS are Palestinian peoples.

  A practicing Catholic, I learned that the Jewish people are our "elder brothers in the faith". Still, just as I have met many stupid Irish, Jewish, and American people, I don't usually discriminate among them. Poverty and ignorance, as Dickens noted in "A Christmas Carol" are our biggest enemies. And if the Kerry children said what the writer alleges, they are starting off on the voyage of life on the wrong tack.

  @evertb: Virulent anti-semitism and open hatred of Jews is the domain of right-wing bigots, including some circles within the Catholic church, and of course most muslims. The "liberal left" tends to be pro-Palestinian, and many times quite a bit too blind-sided by their suffering, while ignoring their violent ways. What you are apparently confusion is anti-semitism and legitimate criticism of the policies of the state of Israel towards the Palestinians, including their cynical claim of supporting a two-state solution while making such solution impossible by aggressively promoting Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

  It ia a propaganda war and we have on one side a vicious pro israeli lobby both in Israel and otheter countries which will lie and cheat for Israel.

• madpadd | Feb 02, 2013, 10:31 AM EST

  Will the Jews ever stop whingin' and whinin' and moanin' and get over it. History is history. When I was a kid going to school in Ireland, my Atlas said Palestine on the country now called Israel. My father told my mother in 1944, that if Hitler takes England, we're going to Canada. I guess there must be a bit of Jewish blood in the family. The Jews are expansionists.....it's like the Chinese taking Tibet. The Palestinians need a place to live. The Jews need a place to live. Why doesn't the USA give Rhode Island or somewhere in the west to the Jews and say "come on down" we have a place for you. Then would there not be peace in the middle east. Needless to say the Palestinians would have a go at each other and it wouldn't be Wests problem. The Irish, I think, feel for the Palestinians, as their plight is very similar to the plight of the Irish under the English. Pontus Pilot the Roman Governor condemned Christ to death at the request of the Jews. That is what we learned in school in the 50's in Ireland. Do I hate the Jews? No, but I do like a good Jewish joke as well as a good Irish joke. It's time to extend the hand of peace.

• JimCork | Feb 02, 2013, 10:14 AM EST

  Sadly much Irish seeming anti-semitism is created and fuelled from old fables/jibes and the use regularly of terms like' Jew boy' carrying on old ideas of supposed Jewish miserableness. There is little understanding of the problems faced by Israel every day just to exist with the hate that surrounds them. Palestinians have only themselves to blame with their own leadership down the years taking them to where they are. They have been offered much to resolve their status (Oslo/Clinton/Barak etc) but threw it all back. They live in regressive and repressive societal enviroments fuelled by anger towards Israel when if they changed to some enlightened leadership and looked at their own society they might find things would change. I know that if I'm sitting in McDonalds in Haifa and someone throws a rocket in the door from over the wall next door I am going to make sure my children and I are protected and smack the perpetrator. Educate our own people in Ireland and start with our President. Shalom from, by the way, an Irish Catholic

• JayFay | Feb 02, 2013, 10:10 AM EST

  Conchubar, my generation is the one which currently has kids in secondary school. My generation was not taught this. Indeed I never even heard of the concept that 'Jews killed Jesus' until I was an adult. And as I said, irish kids aren't religious enough to care about who killed Jesus. If it is true then these kids would be about the only religious ones in all of Ireland. It's more more likely that these kids were pro Palestinian and made comments along the lines of Israel bombing Palestine, Palestinian camps etc.

• Conchubar | Feb 02, 2013, 10:03 AM EST

  To say that its "Extremely unlikely" that today's school children said, "The Jews killed Christ" is just denying the probable. I was never taught this either in school or church, but as a young lad I had heard (and sadly repeated) it. Where did I hear it? From other children whose parents had been taught it in school and believed it. Its easier to dismiss it as a lie on the part of the author than to admit its probably happened; that would require dealing with it.

• CharlieM | Feb 02, 2013, 10:00 AM EST

  TisEyerish is gilding the lily the same way the Israeli writer did. I went to Catholic school just after WW II with Irish nuns and NEVER heard anything even vaguely resembling the nonsense TisEyerish recounts here. On the other side, I know there are idiots in Ireland who spew antisemitic vomit, but probably no more there than other places; idiocy recognizes no boarders. But to go from that to the quaint anecdote Hoenig serves up about hate among school kids is a jump and a half. I agree with evertb that the most vicious antisemitism these days comes from left-leaning "intellectuals", especially in Europe. Personally I think it has a lot to do with Jews being God's chosen people. The eggheads don't accept God so they are 'offended' by the mere presence of his chosen people.

• dickmac | Feb 02, 2013, 09:49 AM EST

  Unfortunately there are these people with bigotry and hate. Having met some personally I have a retort for them as their hate is uttered. I bluntly ask "are you a Christian do you believe in Jesus and His sanctity". When they answer YES. Then I reply to them," Do you realize that Jesus was a Jew and so was His Mother." Their reply was not polite either

• evertb | Feb 02, 2013, 09:31 AM EST

  Anti-semitism is unfortunatly rife in Ireland. What's most hilarious is that it's particularly common on the so-called "liberal" left who also won't tolerate any different opinion. This anti-semitic streak has only increased since Ireland got a pro-palestinian president...

• JayFay | Feb 02, 2013, 09:31 AM EST

  Extremely unlikely that Irish school kids said 'Jews killed Jesus'. This has not been taught in Irish schools in a very long time and also, Irish school kids these days are unlikely to be religious enough to care about the story of Jesus. This Jerusalem Post writer should have chosen something more realistic if she wanted to make stuff up.

• TisEyerish | Feb 02, 2013, 09:28 AM EST

  I cannot speak for now, although I thought it changed, but when I was in Catholic school (more years ago than I care to think about), we were taught that all Jews go to hell because they were/are Christ killers. I had a Jewish uncle whom I loved dearly and can't tell you how many tears I shed at the thought of him burning in hell. Are young people in Ireland still being taught this vile garbage? Let's all remember, folks...if the prophecies weren't fulfilled, Christ would not have died as He did and there would be no Catholic church, nor any other Christian-based religion. No wonder I have turned to paganistic beliefs...they are much gentler than any "Christian" religion I have ever encountered. I will take it one step further and really tick everyone off...when I believed in Catholicism, I also believed that Judas Iscariot was in heaven, for he was a key player in the prophecies coming to pass. On behalf of the falsehoods fostered by so many, my apologies to Sarah Hoenig, even though I'm no longer "one of the crowd."

  All Zionists are congenital liars. Any criticism of Israel and they shout ‘anti-Semitism’. The Zionists have murdered Palestinians for decades and look at their treatment of the Falashas forcibly injecting females with birth control medication. Their Anschluss policy of constantly invading neighbouring land seems to go unpunished by the international community.
