Bernie Sanders has a pretty strongly worded video against Israel there which is great to see. Also he's a jew which is helpful here. (It shouldn't need to be but the misuse of the anti-semitism card means it is)

To say the Israelis play the anti-semitism card all to often is an understatement.

We should treat immigrants like we'd want our own diaspora to be treated. During the Great Hunger, >1 million Irish were refugees (>1 million died).
Above all other nations, we have reason to be generous + hospitable.

We should, but we cannot take one billion people.

Does sitting on a train, travelling through a country but not setting foot on it, count?
Or transitting through an airport?

I'll leave out flying over its airspace!!

Aye, technically you had both feet  in the country.  As well as the rest of ye 

Airspace, nah.

How about if the plane lands, but you do not get out?

Well, the tyres of the plane  would have earthed  you to the ground , so we'll count  it

Grand, that's another half dozen.

U20's out against Kildare this evening. I know Kildare hurling is on the rise and we have been beaten previously by them underage.

How are these set of players expected to do?

Our minors out against Carlow this weekend as well.

If Laois were to lose to Kerry, Down or Westmeath you could have a scenario that the Joe McDonagh Final places end up being decided by points difference come end of the league part of the competition. Important that Laois put a decent score up on Meath this weekend.
