Most people support immigration. Most people oppose illegal immigration. Some people oppose all immigration. Some people don't even agree that illegal immigration exists, even conceptually. The latter two categories are where our problems lie. Fortunately they remain a manageably small minority, for...

Why? I know you're dutch and you probably just f*ck your dead into the nearest composter or whatever on your way to work or a football game, but us Irish still care about the passing of our loved ones.

I wasn't trying to provide a way forwards, I was highlighting the quickest and simplest way for Gazinians (including Hamas) and Israelis to stop dying. Well then yes, one side surrendering would do the trick Exactly. If only the IDF would surrender and fudge off back to russia everything would be s...

Pray tell how you know the ECJ would have blocked us implementing a measure to help us reach net zero. Or are you just guessing?

One of the scumbags that featured on that documentary about the Gardai in Blanch apparently. Sounds absolutely horrific for the innocent bystanders. Missed that doc?

Moving out of the occupied territories and no longer building settlements wouldn't change anything. Israel has been under attack since the very first day of its existence. Pretending that would change with anything short of their annihilation doesn't seem accurate. Somebody needs to make am start a...

I think bibi's role in this, in particular in propping up hamas for years in order to weaken the pa has been incredibly ignored by many to date. The chickens will come home to roost eventully. The consequences of the Netanyahu government’s brutal response to the grotesque Hamas attack on October 7th...

Sorry, when you asked if I had read anything on Palestine, I clearly made the erroneous assumption you had as well. Nothing you have said contradicts that Israel has been under attack pretty much from the day it was established. After the jewish colonists terrorist 'war of independence' against the...

Yes and OK not ever single day since its existence but its pretty infrequent that someone hasn't been declaring war on them or firing weapons from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan or Egypt or Palestinian areas or sneaking people over the borders to attack then. But I am pretty sure you already knew that. The...

The brits aren't in the EU so the ECJ ruling doesn't apply - unless they move to Belfast maybe :shock: This 100%, the reality is that the EPL doesn't need a European Super League. It seems to be something that has been set up to rival the EPL. So why did all the main english clubs try to jump into ...

^This. The entire tunnel network has to be destroyed. Otherwise nothing has been accomplished. Hamas will do anything to keep this from happening, it is the key to their power. Any cease fire or negotiated end to this disaster has to include this result. So if Hamas gives up the tunnels what do Isr...

It's their call.

The war will go on anyway. It's been going on in one form or another since 1948 at least.

Not sure what there is to disagree with there Duff (from the quoted bit, didn't click link).

As more damaging details emerge about this incident, it's got the potential to be hugely damaging for the IDF. Especially when it comes to public opinion within Israel.

Those holding the hostages are absolved of all blame?

Nope, please answer the question. It doesn't have to be a lengthy answer.
