***** Are you trying to say we don't know the difference between, UK, great Britain, England, Scotland and Wales? Most people will just say we are going to England or Scotland rather than the Uk. If you say the UK you could be going to anywhere across the pond...... and of course they teach geography in school........

@@elmehdierraji3189 , irish people get fooled by the Palestinians

@Jamie Fogarty To use the propaganda word of apartheid oversimplifies the situation by ignoring the historical context, and dismisses responsibility of the situation away from Palestinians. Since the Oslo Accords of 1995, the Palestinians have had civil, judicial and police control over 97% of their populace in all of their major cities (Area A), and they are entitled to control their own taxes and utilities, but have not chosen to do so. The Palestinian Authority control Palestinian West Bank cities and town. Gaza is under the control of Hamas, there is no Israeli authority or military there. They departed in 2005. Jewish residents were forced to leave in a genuine act of apartheid, none can live under the PA or Hamas for fear of their lives. Yes, freedom of movement is an issue, however due to the security situation, ie Hamas declaring war on Israel by firing 20,000 rockets and mortars at it since 2005, or such things as Palestinian suicide bombings which murdered 805 Israelis from 1993-2007, or the Knife Intifada whereby Palestinians went rampaging in Israeli cities stabbing and ramming cars into civilians, Israeli security measures become justified. There were final status peace talks held in 2000 at the Camp David Summit, whereby a Palestinian state was to be created, Arafat rejected the peace plan, and started the second intifada which killed thousands. Then in 2008 Abbas rejected another peace proposal from then prime minister Ehud Olmert.

jedsithor Anti-Semitism isnt usually a factor, why would you think it is?

dildodickgollum I said that because whenever Israel is criticised, people immediately accuse the critic of anti-Semitism.

:D sorry, couldnt tell if you were a zionist bootlicker or just trying to reason with them

jedsithor "We don't really care if it has a right to exist or not. The fact is, it does exist and whether it should or not is irrelevant." Jesus Christ. Is that really your answer?? Not, "Of COURSE Israel has a right to exist -- in the same way Ireland has a right to exist!! What kind of sick, repugnant MORON would stand here and tell you Israel has no right to exist? It's just some of Israel's policies we have a problem with." But you couldn't say that, could you? -- or any variation of that. Instead your answer was, "It does exist and whether it should or not is irrelevant." Unbelievable. For many people (maybe even yourself?) the world's only Jewish country just HAPPENS to be the only one whose right to exist they aren't sure about. And I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

dbreckman People are reluctant to talk about it because it's a sensitive issue and people immediately jump down your throat. I'm speaking from a historical perspective here. Israel exists now and should continue to exist but the question is, should it have been created in the first place? The reasoning for the creation of Israel has always been dubious. Yes, there were countless European Jews who needed to be relocated after WWII and the holocaust but that could have been achieved by granting asylum in western Europe and the US. Creating a country out of thin air in a place that already has a population doesn't seem like a good idea on paper and history has revealed the often tragic consequences of that. That the Jews originated in Palestine is also irrelevant. It's not a good reason to set up a country there. Should Americans of British or Irish descent be given land in either country because it's where their ancestors are from? No, of course not. There are religious reasons for the creation of Israel too but I don't think any decisions, particularly ones that will have a profound effect, should take religious arguments into account. Yes, it's the worlds only Jewish state but that makes me as wary as countries declaring themselves to be Muslim or Christian countries. I don't believe a country should be identified by its religion. Obviously, being Jewish is as much a cultural label as it is a religious one but imagine a country declaring itself a white state. I think such labels inevitably lead to discrimination and worse and it can't be denied that the Palestinians have suffered greatly since the creation of Israel. Since the creation of Israel, it has continuously worked to expand its borders. You only need to look at the size of Israel now compared to its size when it was created. Israeli governments have often argued that such expansion was necessary to meet the needs of the population but just as with the creation of Israel, the expansion of Israel involves the involuntary displacement of a population that was already there and had a much stronger claim to the land, given that they'd been there for centuries. When I talk about Israel's right to exist, I'm talking about its creation. Should it have been created? Certainly not in the manner that it was.

Spoke too soon

Chaim Herzog was not the first president of the State of Israel, he was the sixth (1983-1993). Some fun facts: 1. His father was indeed the Chief Rabbi of Ireland, spoke the Irish language fluently and was known as "the Sinn Féin Rabbi" because of his views. 2. Chaim was born in Belfast, but grew up in Dublin. 3. Herzog was Ireland's bantamweight boxing champion, before moving to the British Mandate of Palestine in 1935. 4. in WWII he joined the British Army, went to Sandhurst, and served mainly as a tank commander. He left the British Army in 1947 with the rank of Major. 5. When the State of Israel was created in 1948, he joined the IDF and retired with the rank of Major-General. Not only would most youngsters interviewed not have been aware of any of this, they probably wouldn't have even heard of Herzog.

there are more Irish in America than in Ireland. The race of people called the Aryan race or the Aria. were ginger haired blue eyes people that were basically eradicated from the planet around the time of Christianity. the term was later hi-jacked by Hitler and the Nazi's to be used as a term for their race of people, when in fact it was red haired people from irelands part of the world were they really came from. michael tsarion does great research into the irish origins of civilization.

Ireland is the original land of the Aria, Michael Tsarion has some great research done on the subject in my opinion. he is actually Irish and indian race and you might be interested in his research if not already aware of him

A bit different, the Irish already had one of the world's most popular languages - this one. Israelis are a lot of disparate immigrants wanting to promote their difference from the natives of the region and their language. The Irish plantation makes a much better analogy.

+Gary Madden what model is this?

@@hlund73 You do realize the Israelis were colonized by the Romans, then kicked out of their own land, only to be oppressed by Europeans? If that's what you're referring to, then yes it's actually far worse than what happened with the plantations in Ireland. At least Irish don't get accused of what the Israelis get accused of.

​@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill Modern day propaganda. Jews were only barred from Jerusalem by Hadrian. Plenty remained in Judea. Many will have converted to Christianity and Islam though 5% of the population was Jewish before the European Zionists started to arrive. Then Jews themselves believe they were all immigrants from Egypt anyway.

Daniel Mcdonagh Israel is doing the same thing the brits done and still are doing in the north to Palestine

Sean Whitty I blame the religion and Zionism. A bunch of Jews fought in the IRA to free Ireland, then somehow Jews from Europe got it into their heads that they owned Arab land thousands of miles away simple because of their religion. Its fucked up. Jews and Palestinians both see parallels with what happened in Ireland. Arabs say its their land because, y'know, they live there. Jews say its their land because Judaism began there a couple millenia ago. As Catholics, or "Roman Catholics" (as Protestants insist on calling us) can we take over Rome? Or even, can we take over Israel because thats were Jesus started Christianity? How about Africa? We all came from there, can we take that over? Its madness. Irish people, like the Palestinians, are fighting off foreign invaders who want to rule and colonise land that belongs to the Irish and Arab people. Israelis and Brits portary themselves as "democratic" and "peaceful" whilst decked out in military gear armed to the teeth to impose their foreign ways on the indigenous peoples. Propaganda plays a big role in both places, whereby the British army and IDF are made to seem like "peace-keepers" and the Irish and Arabs who oppose the occupation of their lands are "terrorists". Zionists Jews and Unionist Protestants claim they were "always here" when in fact we know the plantation of Ulster took place in 1600 (plus some previous colonialism by English people before this), and hundreds of thousands of Zionist Jews poured into Palestine when the Brits took it over from 1920 onwards. Arabs and Irish people were there before them, this is well known yet we're made out to be the outsiders when Unionists and Zionists start rambling shite. Twisted bastards.

Daniel Mcdonagh .....what war did Israel fight for freedom? That lot were dumped on Palestine like a plague of locusts, we've nothing in common with Israel whatsoever!

@@fradrake11 well they need to remember that theres more than just first world problems. its good to have lgbt rights. but sadly in the third world theres much more to tackle. in palestine's unique case: israeli occupation.

@Leona DuLac Ackermann A lot of people in Ireland support the Palestinian people because the Irish shared a similar experience under British occupation and rule for many centuries, and most remember the repression of their brothers in Northern Ireland just in the last generation. I don't think many Irish or many supporters of the Palestinian cause at all think highly of Hamas or fundamentalist Islamism but still support the plight of the people themselves. Hamas is not the only Palestinian group opposing Israel, either. Keep in mind that Ireland, both North and South, was also a land that most would consider extremely troubled and backward until very recently. It was plagued by sectarian violence and terrorism, poverty, religious fundamentalism, etc. The Church dictated many aspects of Irish life and culture well into the late 20th century so women's rights and LGBT rights were severely lacking. But they've since flourished after being given a chance at peace and prosperity, and even in the most troubled parts of Northern Ireland old enemies fight with ballots instead of bullets these days. Anyone can change and learn to live in peace if they're treated with some dignity or humanity, including the people of Palestine.

@@mayale3394 I'm not comparing anything to anything. I'm saying that the comparison that the interviewer makes is WRONG. The Irish do not oppose the Israeli government's apartheid treatment of Palestinians because they identify with Palestinians as similar to the Irish Republican Army, as ERRONEOUSLY stated by the interviewer. It is because the Irish as a people are sensitive to the plight of oppressed peoples everywhere, only recently having removed Britain's boot from their face, after hundreds of years of brutal treatment by the British. I have not performed any comparison of Britain's brutal oppression of the Irish to the Israeli government's brutal oppression of Palestinians. I would not be at all surprised if the current Israeli oppression of Palestinians is WORSE THAN the treatment of the Irish by the British, when colonialism was more widespread, as opposed to being practiced by a single rogue nation.

​@@brianmurphy5036 Go check the definition of 'apartheid' before you show your ignorance. Unlike what you probably see in the media, everyone lives here peacefully (most of the time) regardless of religion, race or gender. For your information, 25% of Israeli population are Christian/Muslim Arabs and they have full rights here. They have the same jobs as Jews do, they go to the same universities, and actually because they are a minority in the country they get into universities without passing any pre-exams. Arabic is the second official language in the country and every student in Israel is required to study Arabic in school from the 2th grade. Regardless of that, Israel is the only country in the Middle East that respects LGBT rights, the only one where women are equal to men, while in some countries in the region women are not even allowed to drive. it's the only country that respects every single religion, just look how Christians are treated in all the countries around Israel. the only country in the Middle east with freedom of speech, there are so many Israeli journalists criticizing the government, and guess what? no one is trying to hurt or silence them. and it's the only country that condemn terrorism acts, while the other side praises it. So the conflict with the "palestinians" is not because we have a problem with their religion, but actually because THEY have a problem accepting OUR religion, or any religion other than Islam actually. The fact is that before 1967 "Palestinians" didn't even identify as "palestinians", because it was nothing more than the name the Brits gave to this land when they controled it. 100 years ago Jews that lived here were also "palestinians". It was never their land to begin with, and now they claim all of it simply because they can't stand another religion here. For 70 years we are trying to make peace with them, if their situation is sooo bad as they like to show the world, why don't they just agree to ANY solution? I mean anything would be better than what they have now, don't you think so? but that's exactly the point. their situation isn't actually so bad, actually life expectancy in the West Bank&Gaza is higher than many European countries and I can tell you for sure that EVERY single Muslim that lives in Israel thank God everyday that they were born in Israel and not in one of it's neighbor countries, even if some of them wouldn't admit it. One thing I know for 100%, if the situation was the other way around, Jews would be thrown to the sea long time ago. So please open your eyes. Israel is not the problem in this conflict, Israel has the solution, it just that the other side would never accept it.
