    By the way I have never encountered antisemitism from muslims of any background.

    My mom has even worn her star of David around muslims etc. They have always been really kind.

    Have Muslim colleagues, friends and used to live in a largely Muslim neighbourhood for awhile (on the continent) not to generalise too much, but the anti-semitism was indeed quite noticeable

    Ok well i've not had that personal experience at all.

    Catholics on the other hand.

    And I have muslim friends etc. Its never been an issue.

    I'll say the Israeli lobby owns Trump for sure. However many Jews would be liberal and some anti-Israeli. It's just a religion, despite Israeli propaganda.

    i can accept there divisions with the overall concept of Judaism and certainly not all of them are gung-ho Zionists.
    I'm sure that under normal distribution of a bell curve there is a strong cohort that have the same view i.e. rule the world and support the state of Israel regardless.

    Not surprised really- treating Palestinian ppl like dirt- even moderates are appalled at this on going slow genocide, displacement policy etc etc and before anyone jumps I lived in the area in the 80s and witnessed first hand the treatment normal Palestinian folk went through ( not talking about ppl involved in any form of revolution / terror/ freedom fighting - call it what you will)normal people trying to live

    money. the only number that really matter.

    throw in positions of influence in media/banking/politics within major wealth centres of the world like new York/London.
    then BOOM .major influence achieved.

    of course I don't seriously think they rule the world but they've huge influence as a lobby despite their relative small numbers.

    Tying this back to my original post...rumours of their demise due to the ranting and minor street violence of a few malcontents at the edge of the political spectrum as vastly overblown.

    .

    Of course if there is money Jews must be involved. Nothing dodgy about this viewpoint. No sir.

    Exactly how much influence do you think Jews in Ireland have then hmm?

    More like .2%. Imagine if it were 4%, the anti-semites would be going crazier.

    Assuming a world population of 7.5 billion people, including anti-semites.

    http://www.thetower.org/article/who-is-behind-anti-semitic-attacks-in-the-u-s/







    White people only responsible for 14% of antisemitism , arabs arent a category for racial identification of perpetrators , but extrapolating uk metrics where muslims are 8 percent of the population but responsible for over 50% of the antisemitic incidents, its fair to say im not wrong.

    https://www.israelhayom.com/2019/05/02/german-intelligence-issues-taboo-breaking-report-on-muslim-anti-semitism/

    the idea that in the modern day, a tiny tiny population of the US (white supremacists) are responsible for the majority of attacks just isn't credible. 696 incidents, 121 by white people, 31 by black people and the rest in an 'unknown' on a form where arab isnt an option. Statistically per capita it also makes black people more likely to commit antisemitism than white people.
    There's a lot of problems with that, serious agenda pushing problems. Why are you ignoring the unknown offenders when concluding the % of white people? About 25% of crimes were committed by whites when this is removed, as we just don't know

    Next why extrapolate from a very different different country when it comes to crime? You wouldn't do it in any other case

    Third 'unknown race' doesn't seem to be defined anywhere, it seems possible it could also include whites in cases where race wasn't noted.

    Oh, hadn't heard this pack of lies for awhile. Funny how the bigoted nitwits can't come up with anything new.

    So, how many of those rascally JOOOS are in positions of influence in media? Versus the overall size of the media?

    I'm not even going to ask about banking, I get tired of hearing about the Rothschilds.

    And, great job with that disproportionate influence - I guess the bigoted nitwit is disappointed there are still any of those rascally JOOOS still around. Even in Ireland. Too bad his nitwit heroes didn't finish the job I guess.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭Blueshoe


    List seems kind of clueless tbh. I could think of way more powerful ones.

    I think they just know wonder woman.

    Zuckerberg is my favourite

    Yeah I am not going to partake on the antisemitism front.
    It doesn't take a genius to figure out though.

    Any list that doesn't include Roman Abramovich is not really worthwhile.

    The man that cosier up with Vladimir Putin and stabbed all of his business partners in the back. Some went to to jail and most had all of their wealth confiscated.
    Great role model

    That man who went to great effort to avoid Putin.

    And was the only one out of all of those others (who were also jewish so no plot to get the gentiles) to survive the battle with Putin and keep his money and out of prison.

    So maybe yeah you could learn from him. I would say he is a little wise. No?

    By the way.
    Abramovich has reportedly donated more money to charity than any other living Russian.

    Any interview I have seen he is deferring and polite.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,182 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Also George Soros. A man who survived the holocaust made a fortune and basically throws money into philanthropy.

    He feels no shame whatever the right say and just doesn't give a ****.


    He is fairly influential.

    Bernie Sanders.

    Cctv of a synagogue arson attack in England, it's not as dramatic as the headline tbh


    Far-right arsonist sets himself on fire as he attempts to burn down synagogue

    That is horrifying. He has plead guilty at least and no one else was hurt. He did set himself on fire though.

    Psychotic episode was the claim, although his anti semitism and racism is also apparently deeply rooted. They got lucky the whole place didn't explode, a gas explosion could have taken out the whole building

    I hope his wounds heal. And that he lets go of his hateful beliefs.

    I pretty think all antisemitism/racism/homophobia is a prolonged psychotic episode.

    You could look at it that way I suppose. Ethics and morals might be a little suspect perhaps

    LOL
    you really didn't read what I wrote did you? my point was clearly that given their influence as a lobby they are in no danger from the rabble . I never gave an opinion on what I thought of that influence or on the Jews and tbh I don't care one way or another about it/them
    you clearly missed that.
    dumbass.

    Panorama on tonight about anti-semitism in Labour, will be taking a look


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,839 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    3 Labour peers left over it.

    It is the facilitation and covering up that has done the damage to Labour.

    I'd be more likely to believe the shiny tory Blarites didn't want a return to socialism and both they and the media are playing this ruse to death.
