The horror of De Beers is not just its support for the Israeli Apartheid régime, but all of it's blood soaked history. It was set up as part of the genocidal conquest of southern Africa by Cecil Rhodes, for the British empire, and funded by the Rothschild family - the most bloody family in all of history. And down to this day, it remains a bloody instigator of war and violence in Africa.
Three Jewish people challenge the boycotters........ " unfortunately they're Irish " says the woman with the leaflets.. So much for the "we're not anti-semitic..we're anti-Zionist routine.
clearly what the lady was implying was that unfortunately the zionist viewpoint is not just limited to Israeli zionists but is also evidently present in some misguided Irish people too!
" clearly " she did no such thing. Neither did the geezer with his " and they say they're Gods Chosen People " snide remark. He seemed to have no problem identifying the three people as Jewish. If you want to flog a dead horse go up to Smithfield.
well they do think they are "gods chosen people", as do all religious people!! however, leaving aside the likelihood that there is no god, logically all but one of these arrogant belief systems must be wrong. I doubt any god worth their salt would have anything to do with murderous zionists unless it is quite a nasty malevolent god, but then, who would want to worship that??
I'm glad you got that off your chest, Lefty. The threat to civilisation-as-we-know-it from three elderly Jews in a Dublin street is too horrible to contemplate.
no threat from the elderly jewish people, however the zionist institution they were defending is very threatening to palestinians, Iranians and indeed the whole world if they start a war with Iran. Israel currently has >200 nuclear weapons and are itching to attack Iran. I think that's rather threatening don't you? Their attitude to and mistreatment of palestinians is a great source of tension in the middle east. Most thinking jewish people worldwide are fed up of their history being hijacked by zionists to further their geopolitical ends and close down discussion while they systematically abuse palestinian human rights in the open prison that is gaza. This militaristic posturing is funded by blood diamonds and US military aid worth billions
I suppose that the posture of the Palestinians has never been militaristic in your book ? And that the figure of 3 billion over the past two years in aid to the Palestinians - much of it from the US - has gone to upgrade civil society , or at least that part of it which is controlled by the PA ? Or might it just have gone on grandiose schemes á la Arafat and bugger the Palestinian people ? Palestinians are never going to become fully responsible for their own destinies as long as posturing europeans continue to let them off the hook every time.
Leaving aside the fact that their infrastructure has been deliberately bombed to shit by the Israeli planes and most building materials aren't allowed into Gaza, the main reason palestinians can't be self sufficient is because all their borders are closed off by israel and raw materials are very limited since Israel disallows most of it. The idea is that they give up trying to live an impossible life and move somewhere else. Backdoor ethnic cleansing. Open the borders and they'll be self sufficient instead of shooting people who come in boats with aid in the head from helicopters.
Isn't It amazing how dissidents are openly armed with modern weapons and sent into syria to shoot people yet a boatload of peace activists with cement are shot if they try to dock in gaza!!!
