The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Maureen has a real talent for missing the point

    Whatever point you want to make about Israel's merciless pounding of Gaza, please leave Ireland out of it as you are talking through your nether orifice.

    I knew you'd pop in.

    The only statement I made was that the IRA didn't launch rocket attacks from civilian compounds, like schools and hospitals. Do you disagree with this? Can you answer that simple question without a irrelevant rambling, barely coherent rant designed to show your superior knowledge of, well, everything?

    I never said I admired the IRA or anything of the sort. Get over yourself.
