With all due respect to those of Irish extraction on this board I say the following.

All the terrorist organizations of the '70s are gone. The Red Brigades, Baader Meinhof, the Japanese Red Army, the Tupamaros, Montoneros. All save two. The IRA and the PLO. Maybe this is because both the Irish and the Arabs share a common culture of rage and resentment, and resentful losers tend to identify with other resentful losers. Both cultures like to run their mouths a lot, never forget a slight, and are hopeless prisoners of the past.

History has no greater success story than the English speaking world, a world to which you relate like the envious neer do well in a rich family. You, like the Arabs, seethe with humiliation at your weakness and failure vis a vis the modern world. Your identification with the Palestinians is therefore completely understandable.
