That person used the insolvency process and it is available to people who owe 10 euro or 10 million... no minimum.

but you wouldn't be insolvent for 10 euro debt.

mccarthyism alive and well for some!!!

labour friend of Israel member.. no improvement... no worst

you probably watched a video by the 'creamy pint' Mayo gobshite who made a similar strawman.

You probably follow the herd and that ok. It's only natural considering all the media out there controlling your thoughts.

Good one 👍.

you have to be persecuting Semites before you can be called an anti-semite.

Ashkenazi's aren't semites but you knew that anyway.

Is there any particular reason to be this f**king pedantic?

Antisemitism is widely understood (dare I say largely accepted, even on this board) to refer to discrimination against/persecution of Jews. Jews are not a homogenously ethnic group.

Nobody, unless they are deliberately going out of their way to be obtuse, considers antisemitism to be an attack on, say, Levantine Christians. You have to resort to your good old-fashioned racism for that.

do you accept the ihra definition?

Whether I do or I don't (I don't) is completely irrelevant to whether anyone with half a functioning brain cell (a high bar on the board, I know) understands that antisemitism = anti-Jew.

The problem with the IHRA definition (as you well know) is that it clearly tries to label actions or beliefs that aren't necessarily anti-Jew as such.

Do you understand the difference?

You made the claim that antisemitism is widely understood. It isn't as you pointed out some issues with IHRA definition and if that is how someone determines antisemitism then it isn't just about being anti-Jew.

in my experience it is typically zionists (jewish or otherwise) that cast a wide net of what is and isn't antisemitism beyond what 'anyone with a half functioning brain' would consider antisemitism. Greta was anti semtic for have a blue octopus Teddy in a picture.

some on here considered the renaming of a park antisemitic....

He wrote it, he's entitled to make his point ffs. And it most definitely is 'an act of pointed gleeful counter-programming'. It wasn't really the point I was making or interested in tho.

how is it 'most definitely an act of pointed gleeful counter programming'?


no one said he isn't entitled to his make his point.. however mornic and wrong it is to conflate banning Isreal with being an anti semitic act.

Back to

you didnt say "back to". they were at the table already so how is a good strategic tactic to get them back to were they have been before..twice..

do you mean a good strategy to get what the US wants... 

Trump's blockade is a good strategic tactic for a change, it will likely bring Iran to the table quicker than any bomb, but it is going to mean economic pain for all.

To the table.. they were there before the US/Israel attacked them, they were there for the 10 point ceasefire/ they were there in Pakistan.. I think you mean something else!!!

Do you believe him though?

Like Geoghan saying the Revenue owe him money and his animal cruelty convictions weren't anything to do with him, there is a credibility gap with these wingnuts

no, but the number of comments believing it is scary...  trump now taking of blocking the straits of Hurmuz.. show escalate things further

I have a lot of sympathy for people when you hear about the increases in the costs of running their business due to increased diesal costs. I think some temporary relief is needed. I am no fan of FFG.

However, I don't agree with the far right element, the scamdemic, foreigners get all our money, im speaking on behalf of the irish people, non stop posters of shit on social media gobshites. I dont agree with the long term use of blockade.

I dont understand why they haven't targeted the independents (boxer, healys raes etc. who could have stong bargaining powers to influence the govt or bring them down if needed.

also, what are their plans for the next macro economic event that triggers increased costs, if the business model isn't sustainable or is subject to uncontrollable external factors how will they insulate themselves from it.

Core of the protests and 90% are ordinary genuine people. But they'll be painted as far right which will only drive them to the right.

who do these ordinary genuine people vote for do you think if not far right parties? I'd imagine majority would be ffg...

redhand are you aware of the cost of war project?

Yet again Palestine solidarity marches being branded as hate marches. Nonsense

The above article is hardly a balanced view of the situation. However, the problem is that even a well-intentioned march will attract an element with Hamas flags, "river to the sea" chants etc. Nothing about this issue is balanced.

what is wrong with "river to the sea"..
