Question: the Kurds lack a homeland and are attacked from all sides. Why aren't they a fashionable left-wing cause?

- Does Ireland properly understand how bad its reputation has become with Jews all over the world?
- The footage coming out of Gaza over the last few days shows very little evidence of widespread famine. Were such reports, in fact, fake news?
- Ireland only recognised Israel in 1963. It took until 1996 for us to open an embassy in Israel. We put the worst interpretation on everything Israel does and almost never see the Israeli point of view. We constantly criticise Israel. But note well, we are not anti-Israeli!
- Question: if Jews control the media as anti-Semites insist, then why are almost all the media anti-Israeli?
- Let's assume you're Israel. Now, how would YOU remove the threat from Hamas post-Oct 7 when Hamas is not interested in a two-State solution and wants to destroy you. I await the responses.
- Yes, there is a Jewish-American lobby in America. There is also an Irish-American lobby, but no-one cooks up mad conspiracy theories about the Irish. See the difference?
- John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten): "Hamas are basically just Jew exterminators, that’s their only real purpose".
- In the EU last year, deaths outnumbered births by a stunning 1.26m people. Our societies have become incredibly child-unfriendly.
- We are now down to fewer than 600 Covid-related cases in hospital. This big reduction happened without any new public health measures being forced on us, a fact that cannot be repeated often enough.
- Have you ever noticed that some of the same people who normally see racism everywhere, see anti-Semitism nowhere?
- Why do we always assume that we might see a return of fascism but never communism?
