You can want the liberation and freedom of the people of Palestine without also wanting the destruction of Israel.
Far left extremist
I find it bizarre that leftist politicians, who fully understand the harms religious extremism did to Ireland, completely forget that knowledge if you just swap the name of the religion.
I swear some of these gobshites don’t realise a lot of Israelis have had family native to the region for centuries, they are not invaders and many were expelled from other Muslim regions in the area after Israel’s creation. Regardless of your views on Israel holding too much territory and their expansionism beyond agreed borders, it still has to exist to protect the Jewish people there.
Someone’s had too much kombucha.
Far left extremist. That’s in line with Iran, Hamas, Qatar and most other Arab countries want – eradication of Jews. Disgusting.
He got kicked off Drivetime on RTÉ just after the Hamas attack on Israel because he was basically saying they deserved what they got.
What he’s calling for is basically the equivalent of us “solving” Northern Ireland by killing or expelling all the loyalists. We rightly had a big think and decided that the Good Friday Agreement was a better solution than continued violence.
Underneath it with a lot of the hard left is rabid antisemitism, the UK Labour Party under Jezza started saying the quiet part out loud for a while.
You can call out Israel without calling for its destruction.
We’ve had a taste of intifada in Europe over the past few years. I think we will pass on that Richie
What a lunatic
Let he who hasn’t called for a wee bit of intifada cast the first stone
Is anyone surprised? This is an obvious implication of the things he believes, which we have known ever since he was first elected.
I wish PBP would just focus on national issues, not to say international issues like this aren’t important but it feels like PBP really go harder for this stuff (to the point of ridiculousness)than things at home which is a shame as they are the only political party who actually did helpful things for me as a constituent when others wouldn’t.
This type of mental shite has been put up with for way too long in Ireland, yet he and members of his party will constantly be broadcast in national newspapers, and on radio/TV as if they speak for a large number of people.
Intifada is in quotes in your title but not in quotes in the tweet. And he doesn’t say it in the video.
How dare he call on an oppressed people to rise up against their oppressors, doesn’t he know that only Israel have the right to defend themselves.
