Maybe Sinn Féin would make your numb brain work. But other than that I was talking about the Left as a whole as opposed to the Right in general. Not specifically Irish.
And I think figures like Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and others you fancy, have a direct connection to the high number of dead.

Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and others of their ilk are not my fancy .
Yours maybe , being as how they too, were totalitarian warmongers .
Not specifically the Irish Left ? who are you trying to kid .

So going according to your line of thought (if anything like that exists), you shouldn't have diverted from the thread's title, and your posts should have always been right on the issue.Not specifically the Irish Left ? who are you trying to kid .

I can post about the Irish Left, and as I already have, about the European Left.
As for the Irish Left, I saw you ignored the Sinn Féin, or maybe they are part of the Right side of the political bow?!

I see the antisemitic leftist elements in this forum don't go to sleep, they have a lot of work.

I would have thought that the central issue is not so much whether a Jewish homeland is legitimate or not. It's the harm done to the Palestinian people historically as result of political decisions taken without reference to the indigenous people of that country. I was also under the impression that the Palestinian people are a semitic people.

Indeed, a lot of people who criticise Israel don't necassarily have a problem with jews living in that part of the world if they feel they must for religious reasons. I don't have a problem with jews living there. My gripe is how they live there. Why do they have to ethnically cleanse palestinians and build settlements on illegaly occupied land? Why do they have to impose a jewish state which is there for the benefit of people of a certain religion? Why not develop a multi cultlral state that has no religious affliation? Surely if that was done and the religious needs of both muslims and jews were respected in such a state the two peoples who live in that part of the world would find it easier to get along.

Of course it is! Invading other countries with tanks, artillary, bombers & fighter planes? Oh, wait . . .
Ah, but the Nazi invaders & child killers didn't use toxic phosphorous on civilians. Eh . . .
Oh, I give up.
Though I'm no scholar in this area I was also under the impression that the movement for a Jewish homeland which emerged in the late nineteenth century was at least in part based on egalitarianism and indeed a socialist perspective. Wasn't the fight against Mosley's fascists in London led by left zionists as was the beginnings of the American communist party.
