Give it time. The muzzies will eventually destroy Ireland. What a sad story. Fought for centuries to be freed of the English, and will eventually lose to the Mohamedans. St. Patrick is spinning in his grave...and then some.

The Germans supplied rifles ands military supplies to the Irish during WWI to eventually kick out the English in the uprising. I don’t know if it was a payback not to get involved in WW2 or they felt no need to help the English against the Germans in the second round either. I suppose there’s history as to why, somewhere written and explained. Also, there were always Irish drafted into the British Army thru history....primarily for fodder. After all, they were Irish, and therefore, expendable.

They themselves don’t define their peoplehood by “European”, but by their national identities. The term “European” was invented by the leftist European Union.

Blinded with rage? Can’t imagine why. How many Jews live in Gaza? Beirut? Etc.? How many Muslims live in Israel?

“Islam is the second-largest religion in Israel, constituting 1.707 million and around 18.1% of the country’s population as of 2022.[1]”

They live there in peace, because they want to live there, with jobs and voting rights.

In this instance, the Irish just need to shut the hell up.

I’d be blinded with rage too, if I were under immediate threat of extermination.

No, the term is older than that.

A century earlier, Nietzsche referred to himself as "a good European" (to emphasize his opposition to nationalism.) And I doubt that he invented the term.

They wanted England to lose. Gotta be suicidal. Did they think the Nazis woulda’ spared them? Seeing how Hitler turned against Poland and Russia.
Oh well....the blind leading the blind.

Lord Haw Haw was Irish, although he was born in NYC.

What do you think Nietzsche meant by that?

The notion of a united Europe under German rule is far older than the European Union, of course. Kaiser Wilhelm before and during WWI talked of “a United States of Europe against America”.

Meanwhile, Hitler bombed the North Strand section of Dublin and even De Valera covered for him, calling it accidental.

This PM is a buffoon.

Like Ireland would put up with 70 years of being attacked, at every opportunity and having 1200 murdered in an attack and just “understand and play nice”...

Eff you you moron. The people who had no problems blowing up children for their cause not all that long ago going to lecture the world about how others respond to people who burn children alive for theirs? EFF YOU!

Thew West seems bound and determined to commit suicide by stupidity.

In English it was, once, Christendom.

Out in the European colonies, in various ways, foreign Europeans were normally recognized as non-natives and treated with special consideration, as people “like us”. This sort of privilege was usually extended to “white” mercantile non-Euros, like Armenians, Syrians, Parsis, and Sephardic Jews.

As long, of course, as the nations involved weren’t at war.

Call it whatever you want, even racism, but it was real.

Much of the Arab world, and most Americans, are rooting for Israel!

In a war between savages and civilized people—support the civilized people!! Remember October 7, 2023!

“Terrorist sympathizers upset”

Yeah, didn’t the PLO train a bunch of IRA guys back in the day?
