No arguments here, except that "fools" is too kind a word for these misbegotten, subhuman pieces of shit.

The problem with the Trump Peace Plan, it seems to me, is that it's Trump's Peace Plan. If anyone else had proposed it, a decent proportion at least of world leaders, MSM and the global intelliigentsia would be queuing up to endorse it; because it is associated with Trump, it must be insupportable.

"mass Palestinian psychosis"

Indeed it is-the same at the Labour Party conference where the biggest cheers were for any moron in a kefiyeh sgouting "free Palestine" rather than any grown up discussion about inflation,immigration,rape gangs,housing,energy,etc-you know-the stuff that ordinary folk have to worry about.

All I see are spoiled rich white people, the kind that used to make fun of me and my Asian immigrant friends at university when we would spend hours in the library studying because we needed to have good grades to get a good job. You see, we didn’t have rich parents to support us if we failed. So we had to work hard. We didn’t have time to attend protest marches for some imagined group of poor oppressed genocidal/suicidal maniacs halfway around the planet. We didn’t have the luxury of virtue signaling.

Esme, I bet you were a success though. Honestly having rich parents, bail out money, can deprive people of an essential drive needed to become successful.

Ended up at Harvard Law School, became an intellectual property lawyer, started a tech company in Silicon Valley. It’s good to work hard and not play the victim. The Asian work ethic.

Spot on -I attended LSE in the mid 1970's and couldn't believe the students union drivel and SWP crap espoused by almost exclusively(white) public schoolboys.Us Grammar school lads on full maintenance grants were too busy trying get 1st's so we could go and get jobs with Goldmans/Pwc/Freshfields rather than go down the pit/factory like our parents.they make me sick.

These rich white leftist students had the temerity to criticize my Vietnamese best friend who arrived in the US with only the clothes on his back as a real refugee with his parents who lost everything. These Vietnamese refugees became successful, did not play victim and beg for money.

A VERY CATHARTIC READ.

Thank you Laura for reminding the rest of us that we are not insane.

Laura - you probably never needed to resort to bad language in your writings - until you came back to Ireland & discovered what we have to put up with here - which would indeed drive anyone to bad language ! Agree with everything you've said - so few people venture to say it.

The evidence shows that the Hamas fighters do not care about the suffering of Gazan civilians. I've wondered for many months if they are actually prepared to hold on to the Israeli hostages to the death. There's now a small but increasing number of Gazans turning against Hamas. The end of this terrorist group can't come soon enough.

Tadhg Hickey (the so-called 'comedian') on the flotilla deserves highlighting here; a fervent attendee at Nasrallah's funeral in Lebanon and Raisi's funeral in Iran where he chanted "Death to Israel" in Farsi -later claiming he didn't know what it meant ..so, the very definition of Useful Idiot.

Perhaps they could offer themselves to Hamas as hostages instead of the existing 48 (alive and dead).

That would show real virtue rather than mere signalling !

These morons on the boats should be taken off the boats along with their pitiful excuse of provisions, and then each boat should be sunk.

Laura,I agree with most of your sentiments expressed in this article,especially in relation to the Flotilla of fools and the Irish Government,neither of which care one jot about the Palestinian people,however there is no war being conducted in Gaza,it is simply a genocide being carried out by the IDF on the instructions of its Government. And yes,all the remaining hostages should be freed immediately but even that wouldn’t stop what happening in Gaza now.

No, it's a war -not a genocide. That accusation against Israel will go down in history as one of the most successful lies ever to be propagated by the mass media.

Go fuck yourself, liar. Peddle your “genocide” libel to the other drunks. Fucksticks like you are why Ireland is such a joke now.

Not a genocide. Not by any metric, measure or historical example. I know you really really want it to be a genocide so you can virtue signal online even harder to your fake friends on the Internet but it isn't. Sorry for your loss you ghoul.

Here are some actual facts that demonstrate your genocide accusation is a lie.
