are important to be understood--particularly 1956- Straights of Tiran 1967- Events leading to war

I am 100% Irish! My ancestors are from Shangarry, Carlow Co. Your ignorance is staggering! Of course ignorance can be healed with a little research and study. But, I suspect you are to lazy to do so. You are the type who would rather just listen to the biased news reports and draw your conclusions from the overwhelmingly hate filled propaganda of the world that hates Israel! By doing so, you bring a curse upon yourself. I feel sorry for you. I also an ashamed of you. You make me want to conceal my Irish heritage.

Well if you are of Irish descent David you shouldn't be supporting imperial oppressors like Israel. They are treating the palestinians like Cromwell treated us.

Did you do pogroms, murdering and terrorizing? Did you shoot rockets at civilian areas? Did you threaten the English with annihilation? Did you reject peace, and tell your people to leave, so it would be easier to throw the English into the sea? Did the English ever have a nation in Ireland before the Irish? Your post is a mantra that only the blind believe.

Nationalizing the canal is an act of war. In ’67 the arabs built up their armies to wipe out Israel and said so. Would Ireland wait for an actual bullet, if England said they were going to attack and proceeded to prepare?. The blockade is an answer to rockets fired indiscriminately into Israel. Yes, the arabs started every single war Israel has had to fight. You are wrong. Period,

For your information, my great grandfather, several times back, fought against William and Mary at Londonderry and Boyne in 1689 and 1690. He had to forfeit all his land and his estate and indenture himself onto a ship going to Jamestown Virginia in 1700. My sir name is O'Nowlan, and I am one of the Princes of Forth by blood. Is that Irish enough for you? However, I am Yhudi at heart! I stand firm for Eretz Israel and the Spiritual Sons of Israel living in Eretz Israel. Any attempt to divide the land and remove it from the possession of Israel will bring Judgment on those doing it. I know your remarks are from a position of ignorance. You need to study your Bible and history. The Land belongs to the Hebrew people and always has. The arabs have the rest of the Middle East and don't need that small piece of land known as Israel. Do you feel good about the Brits controlling Ireland? Get a grip man!

talk about your own bloody country you shmendrick

Already Israel gave Gaza for the sake of peace, and what did Israel get in return, no peace, but terror,violence, kidnapping, and rockets. Our wimp defence minister Ehud Barak, pulled out of Lebanon, and what Israel got no peace, but terror, violence, kidnapping, and rockets. JAYD, these Arabs will never ever make REAL & GENUINE PEACE LIKE EUROPE. Their blood is poison, their brain is brainwashed from the age of three, how to hate and to kill Jews.Also in their Quran the same hatred to Jews. They want 100% of all Israel. Jews out and to be killed

If you are Christian read the OLD/NEW testament, and if you are Islamic, then read the Quran. They can't be all wrong. IN private conversation all the European leaders admit Israel belong to the Jews, but for their own greed, OIL, business, 1600 Plus Islamic/Muslims/Arabs, against 15 million Jews worldwide including Israel, selling arms, & others reasons, the Europeans don't mind to sell Israel to the Arabs. Well Mr Observer, the so called Europeans will not be able to sell Israel to no one. You the Europeans most welcome to sell your own to Islam. ISRAEL NOT FOR SELL NOT NOW & NOT FOR EVER.

You are asking of Israel something that no other country would be expected to do. You are asking them to surrender their land to a people who are hostile to Israel and who have repeatedly made threats to deny Israel the right to exist. All this feel good nonsense to suggest that the poor Palestinians are the innocent victims and that they would all of a sudden embrace Israel and assimilate with the Israelis is just irrational and foolishness. We Australians wouldn't do it. Why should Israel?
