32. Irish academics urge
silvio ,   italy   (09.24.06)
The Irish brothers, they are in error. In this case to suffer the oppression from thousands of years they are not the palestinians but on the contrary the Israeli brothers. The history is read and studied well in as for wrong and to reasons! The arrogant persons are not those people that suffers the violence of the bombs in the cafes, in the restaurants or in the own houses, but on the contrary the true aggressors that disguise themselves from victims!

37. Kal 22 from Syria
Simon ,   London GB   (09.24.06)
Kal - You may or may not be right in your comments but at least you are allowed to make them in the Israeli press. Now would I be allowed to do the same in the Syrian press? I think not. Whether you support your country or not is irelevant. The fact is that a country that is the geographical size of Wales in great Britain who has always had a jewish presence has never been left alone to live in peace for the past 100 hundred years by the arab world. Those are the historical FACTS.
38. Irish won't share their Lucky Charms
Preston ,   USA   (09.24.06)
The Irish are as ant--Semitic as the rest of the UK and Europe. Big surprise and who cares. All their academics know how to do is eat Lucky Charms cold cereal and spew their bile. I hope that they choke on those little green marshmellow clovers. Mmmm delicious!
39. HYPOCRITES IGNORE PERSECUTION OF JEWS & CHRISTIANS for not
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.24.06)
following ISLAM. The US EU UN are relentless in pressuring Israel to persecute non-Muslims. 10,000 Gaza and north Samaria Jews were ruthlessly rendered jobless and homeless, their land and businesses seized for PA/PLO-Hamas terrorists - Jewish land in exchange for war. Christians had their human rights cruelly destroyed via the Oslo peace accords which gave PLO terrorists control over Christians in Palestinian Authority areas. Which people and which country are designated next for vicious, severe punishment for the "crime" of not being Muslim? A Christmas without Christians By Abraham H. Miller FrontPageMagazine.com | December 16, 2005 Since the Palestinian Authority’s takeover of Bethlehem in 1995, under the Oslo Accords with Israel, Bethlehem has been transformed from a Christian city into a Muslim city. Bethlehem’s remaining Christians now live in a condition of dhimmitude (a reference to the second-class citizenship Islam imposes on Christians) in the city of Jesus’ birth. The Palestinians brought with them a political system based on primitive tribal relations, where the power of one’s clan became a substitute for the law. As a consequence, Christians have suffered civil outrage and criminal violence without recourse to justice. Christians have been refusing to live under these conditions and have been leaving Bethlehem in large numbers. ....the Orwellian message of the American Arab Anti-discrimination Committee (AADC) that held a candle lighting vigil on November 29, 2005 for Bethlehem’s Christians at San Francisco’s Union Square... Muslims in Bethlehem make the lives of Christians unbearable and force them to flee their ancestral homes while Muslims in America hold a vigil to blame the Jews. To understand how the Christians became a minority and the victims of thuggery in the city of Jesus’ birth, it is important to see just what Arafat did to Bethlehem once he got his hands on it. In 1995, Yasser Arafat gained control of Bethlehem and immediately expanded its municipal boundaries to include 30,000 Muslims living in neighboring refugee camps. Next, Muslim Bedouins living east of Bethlehem were incorporated into revised municipal boundaries. All this was still not enough for the PA to change the status of Bethlehem as a Christian city. But then Arafat created inducements for Muslims to leave Hebron and the area around it and move to Bethlehem. With Arafat’s government by clan, by gun, and by terror, a land Mafia developed that began expropriating land from Christians. In 2002, two Christian teenage sisters were found with their throats slit and their genitals mutilated. Muslims claimed the Amer sisters were prostitutes, as if that were justification for torture and murder. But Christians familiar with similar incidents claim the girls were murdered to cover up a gang rape. Of course, none of this appears in the AADC’s call for the candlelight vigil that is also designed to showcase the AADC’s divestment campaign against Israel. Now totaling less than 12% of Bethlehem’s population, Christians, who have been the targets of continual PA violence, might leave entirely. The result will be that in the place where Jesus was born there will no longer be a Christian community. In the West Bank town of Taibe marauding Muslims burned, looted and beat Christian residents in the name of a Muslim family’s “honor,” a family whose father had brutally beaten his daughter to death for wanting to marry a Christian. The violent Muslim mob burned a statue of the Virgin Mary and shouted, “Burn the Crusaders!” PA fire and security forces took their time arriving on the scene, appearing hours later. In the end, the mob was almost immediately released from jail. Meanwhile, the Christian fiancée of the murdered woman was arrested and beaten while incarcerated. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20567

43. Irish/Nazi
USA   (09.24.06)
The Irish were firm supporters of hitler in WW2. None of this should be a surprise.
44. Precisely the type of responses we
Paddy   (09.24.06)
have come to expect from Jews. This is the reason Jews remain unpopular amoung civilised peoples.
45. if the irish lived with pali terrorists
susan ,   new york city, usa   (09.24.06)
they'd change their tune fast.
46. To #45, if you lived under Israeli occupation
Ali ,   Beirut   (09.24.06)
If you lived in a palestinean city UNDER 45 years old OCCUPATION! If you were not allowed to go to your school, university, work, hospital 200 days per year. If you have your brothers and cousins arrested for writing anti-occupation slogans or participating in a rally against killing children. If your house was demolished by israeli bulldozer or a 1 ton air missile. If your infant sister was starved to death, or your pregnant aunt had to give birth on an israeli checkpoint. If you have water access one day per week while the neighboring settlers enjoy their pools. If your family farm, the only living source you have was set on fire by crazy fanatic zionist lunatics. If there is a huge racist wall separating your house from your in-laws house. Then you might change your tune fast!!!!
47. #44
Preston   (09.24.06)
You are a perfect example of an uncivilized racist. Your "culture" has so little to show for its pathetic existance after hundreds of years its a criminal waste of good alcohol. And just this week, trashing Tiger Woods' wife days before the Ryder Cup shows how civilized you pathetic scum are. Now crawl back under that rock of yours. Be sure to bring your Lucky Charms and Irish Whiskey.
48. ali in beirut
(09.24.06)
sounds like we should dig up arafat and give him another chance to compromise..... by the way...."racist walls".....when will the walls that surround each and every arab country prohibiting jews/christians from immigrating to them come down? when do i get my property stolen from my family back in iraq and algeria? oh ... I guess its only the jews that have to live with the results of the arab decisions to wage war in 1948/56/67/73........06!!! grow up baby. start teaching your children that they will have to compromise and live with the jews instead of teaching jihad and death. your pathetic.
49. Could Arab Money Be Involved
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (09.24.06)
It really makes me wonder with all the attacks Israel has been taking from various groups around the world if Arab money is somehpw involved. I mean some of these groups such as trade unions I can't fantom the relationship to israel. Why arn't they lambasting their goverments for labor reforms. There has to be some other motivation involved.
50. Have another drink Paddy
Gideon Reader ,   Miami, Fl. USA   (09.24.06)
There are 61 irish academics? You must mean "epidemics".
51. The Iriish must have heard Prof Moshe Sharon
John ,   USA   (09.24.06)
The racist and hateful diatribe of Professor Moshe Sharon probably had a lot to do with it. It was the most unscholarly and hateful thing I ever heard from someone with his credentials. How did he get tenure from Hebrew U.? Israel better wake up and smell the coffee.
52. Ali #46
John ,   USA   (09.24.06)
Right on, Ali. It's perfect. Anybody in this situation would do the same thing.
53. Irish
Dr. JOHN MAXWELL ,   Israel   (09.24.06)
These gormless 61 Irish "Gits" should just go on "pissing in their Guiness drinks" & not bring shame on the honoury title of Academic!!
54. nothin .. special
davide ,   rome   (09.24.06)
I don t believe that ireland has only 61 accademics probably over a 1000 or more , so has no meaning to generalize ..every country has its own BLACK SHEEP.
55. #14--You may have something there.
Edwin ,   Canada   (09.24.06)
The Arabs always supported the IRA. There is a long history of support form PLO and other Muslim terrorists.
56. The 67
K. M. ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.24.06)
Those 67 are most likely arab-students.
57. HYPOCRITES IGNORED BARBARIC JIHAD AGAINST LEBANES CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.24.06)
Islam’s Torture of Lebanon By Jamie Glazov FrontPageMagazine.com | August 11, 2005FP: Frontpage Interview guest today is Brigitte Gabriel, a survivor of Islam's Jihad against Lebanese Christians. Gabriel: I was raised in the only Christian country in the Middle East , Lebanon . When Lebanon got its independence from France in the 40's the majority of the population was Christian. We were merchant, descendents of the Phoenicians...In no time Lebanon became the Paris of the Middle East ... Gabriel: The Christians in Lebanon always had problems with the Moslems, but we never thought our neighbors would turn on us. That situation was aggravated by the influx of the Palestinians coming from Jordan after King Hussein kicked them out in Black September. That's what tipped the scale in Lebanon . Not only had Moslems become the majority but they now also felt empowered by the presence of the Palestinians and Yasser Arafat wanting to attack the Christians, take over Lebanon and use it as a base from which to attack Israel ... When the Moslems and Palestinians declared Jihad on the Christians in 1975 we didn't even know what that word meant. We had taken them into our country, allowed them to study side by side with us, in our schools and universities. We gave them jobs, shared with them our way of life. We didn't realize the depth of their hatred to us as infidels. They looked at us as the enemy not as neighbors, friends, employers and colleagues... A lot of Muslims pored in from other Muslim countries like Iran ... They came from Somalia , Sudan , Syria , Jordan and Egypt . The Lebanese civil war was not between the Lebanese, it was a holy war declared on the Christians by the Muslims of the Middle East ... They started massacring the Christians, city after city. Horrific events the western media seldom reported. One of the most ghastly acts was the massacre in the Christian City of Damour where thousands of Christians were slaughtered like sheep...They would urinate and defecate on the altars of churches using the pages of the bible as toilet paper... The majority of the Lebanese army was Muslims. Christians went to universities, not to the military. The Muslims began taking over military bases across Lebanon . They combined their forces with the Palestinians and formed what they called the Arab Lebanese Army and started attacking the Christians... Gabriel: My town was 2 and half miles from the Israeli boarder. We in our Christian town were faced with the combined Muslim and Palestinian forces waiting to slaughter us. We knew our fate, knowing what they have done to other Christian towns and cities in the rest of Lebanon ... Under the cover of darkness, few men from our town went to the border, flagged down an Israeli boarder patrol, explained the situation and begged for help... Israel agreed to help the Christians. Israel became our lifeline. The Israeli military would come during the night and bring food and ammunition to the military and milk for the children... The only reason we stayed alive is because Israel came into Lebanon and drove the Muslims away from the surrounding hills and set up positions in our town to protect us... Things got worse as Syrian, Libyans, Iranians Egyptians became enraged and flocked into Lebanon to fight the infidel Christians and Jews... The Muslims had one vision, to take control of the only Christian country in the Middle East and than attack Israel ... http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19016

60. don't condemn all Irish
peggy ,   now in israel   (09.24.06)
just because of 61 who academics....many irish work with peace movements, maybe because of their 600 years of Brit rule. As an irish jew, now staying with friends in israel this is not all ireland. the irish are lovely people and very patriotic to their land and understand how us jews arr too. we often refer to oiur countries as "the 2 holylands" both starting with "I'. i am always amazed how a silly article can stir up the blood, and as for irish catholics...not IRA provo's they stand by the pope and his words....not many moslems in ireland either, unlike their neighbour the UK. so folks calm down because israel also has her lefties that think the same, and jews have nutrea karta, stop taking a whole nation task, because of a few.
