@clarebannerman We believe in the United Nations and the rule of law. Your language reflects your mentality, and the world is sick of your lies from Israel . We are honoured to have elected this great man as President of Ireland.
Fantastic ! The only way the Palestine and Israel conflict can be solved, is by a single state solution, not a two state solution which is pretty impractical if you look at it. A single state, where Jews and Muslims and Christians and all other religious faiths, colours, creeds and nationalities live under one set of laws in peace and co-operation. There needs to be a grassroots mass movement within Israel which will remove the racist and fascist Zionist movement in order to further this cause.
No one is attacking the Jewish people, he just wants to make sure people are not dying and suffering, that Jews, Arabs, Christians and everyone else is equal and respected and has a fair shake.
@dallas998 The Palestinians were not responsible for what Hitler did to the Jews but were made to pay the price by being driven from their lands and homes in 1948.After that Israel demolished at least 500 Palestinian villages & any Palestinian trying to get back for his belongings or to pick his fruit was usually shot. The record is sick & long. Learn the history. I don't like anyone being killed but the number of Palestinians killed by Israel far outstrips the number of Jews killed by Pals.
@seancarletonzero A fair shake is something like this: every group should be free of having to protect themselves from other groups who want to kill them if it's the last thing they do.
To understand what is happening in the information war, it is important to recognize the illusions which obfuscate issues, misinform and cause incorrect policies and therefore actions. Thus: Post-modern thinking is the main source of confusion in the world. Our moral compass is spinning uselessly, while most of us really want the same things at the deepest levels. The illusion is due to the tendency for its proponents to deny facts, rational thought and the existence of absolute truth. (cont'd)
"Give", and not purchased? The region was administered by mostly absentee owners, the original Jewish immigrants purchased, and did not steal land. You can sanctimoniously denounce those who call you out on your revisionism, but that does not change the truth. So how far back in history would you want to enact a limitation on your right to live in your own location? That is the way of life on the earth - people migrate, deal with it. So instead of complaining, what is YOUR final solution?
Also, as for the original claim: Even Israelis are starting to speak out against that now. Have a look. I'm sure you'll have even more fun in the comments section on this one: ruclips.net/video/aRNAJCHxa7w/видео.html
No, it was not stolen. You are imagining that WW1 and San Remo agreement never existed, nor can you acknowledge UN 181 in 1947. The rest of your post is unintelligible.
Israel and the Palestinians in the field of medicine continues to advance. Nearly 115,000 Palestinian patients were treated at Israeli hospitals in 2011, and over 100 Palestinian doctors interned at Israeli hospitals. Meanwhile- While the world focused on Hamas militants launching rockets from Gaza at southern Israel, the terrorist organization also voted quietly to implement Islamic law in the Gaza Strip, including crucifixion of Christians, according to reports in the Arabic press.
P.S. Shows how much Higgins knows- The blockade of Gaza is perfectly legal- "The UN report on last year's Gaza flotilla clash found that Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is legal and that Jerusalem owes no apology to Turkey for the Mavi Marmara raid, diplomatic sources said. "
That is such a false statement- And I quote- In the words of Fathi Hamad, minister of Hamas: “half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other Half are Saudis”. A great deal of them Are Syrians too, but you get the point, right? As for Higgins- Well he is entitled to his opinion- for he quotes international law-but he fails to say which!
@Nahshonism נחשון, אם תקשיב בין השורות כאן, תראה שהוא מהיחידים שמתייחס לסבל של תושבי שדרות וטורח בכלל לדבר עליו. על המצור נגד החמאס הם כולם יכולים לדבר. אם החמאס היה מתקיף את אירלנד, עזה לא היתה נישארת מיושבת.
I dont have to read the Torah I have read the Q`ran- That tells me who are the most brutal people alive- Sura 9 and all that follows from that- Then add Dar ul-Harb Dar ul-Islam.
Mr Higgins, like many others should get their historical facts right. The land known today as Israel never belonged to Palestinians. The name Palastine comes from the name Palaestina and was a Byzantine Province. What we call Israel today PLUS Gaza AND the West Bank was given in perpetuity to the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob and their seed. The God of heaven - Jehovah will keep His word and all who oppose the state of Israel will in the end be defeated. Israel have suffered greatly and were scattered across the world because of their rejection of the Messiah Jesus Christ but one day they will acknowledge Him and then they will experience the blessings God promised them. So far as Gaza is concerned, the ships carrying 'humanitarian' aid were also carrying guns, rockets etc. to enable attacks on Israel. This was and is the response to Israel who have themselves given great help to those living in Gaza. Do not believe what you read in the press and other media. They are almost totally biased against Israel.
you are off your face. Names are just names, they are not facts. Names are labels for things and people and what we label people doesn't reflect who they really are or their circumstances.
Thank you for your response Laura. Obviously, the 'facts' you believe in are very much removed from the truth. Don't miss the truth by believing those opposed to Israel. Israel have done a great deal to help people in Gaza and there are many Palestinians who would rather live in Israel because they know they are better off.
You are the one that needs to get your historical facts straight. First off, the promise given by some religious deity in a book thousands of years old is not justification to illegally colonize, settle, oppress, and occupy an entire ethnic group. This is 2014, not antiquity, bud. The Hebrew deity known as "God" condoned the use of genocide by the Jews that returned to the land he had "promised them." That's the mentality Zionism is modeled from. The description of "Palestine" has not been around for long, but the people have. The indigenous people of that region do not need a name in order to be legitimate. Last but not least, the Arabs of the Middle East have formed numerous caliphates in the region over the last 1,500 years. Their rule was grander and longer lasting. Technically, I would say that gives Arabs (Palestinians included) more right to the land than the Israelis.
A clever, committed, discerning and - in a nutshell - a good man. Congratulations to Ireland for such a wonderful President. Regards from Spain.
Such an eloquent speech. It's shame that righteous indignation has been muted since he became president.
He's at it again lads, what a man
@clarebannerman We believe in the United Nations and the rule of law. Your language reflects your mentality, and the world is sick of your lies from Israel . We are honoured to have elected this great man as President of Ireland.
An intelligent gentleman for President.
well spoken President.

well said president
@Nahshonism Sir we are a democratic country. We do NOT believe in state terrorism & we are not hated all over the world.
No one is attacking the Jewish people, he just wants to make sure people are not dying and suffering, that Jews, Arabs, Christians and everyone else is equal and respected and has a fair shake.
respect ! the truth !

Hallo Mr Higgins- you failed to mention that!
@Tomislavv2 Truth!
"Final solution"? Fucking hell, man.
Obviously not an authority on Maritime Law then. Poor old Ireland is going to the dogs.
"Give", and not purchased? The region was administered by mostly absentee owners, the original Jewish immigrants purchased, and did not steal land. You can sanctimoniously denounce those who call you out on your revisionism, but that does not change the truth.
So how far back in history would you want to enact a limitation on your right to live in your own location? That is the way of life on the earth - people migrate, deal with it.

Someone said this video is "Anti Jewish" how is this video anti anything, other than anti suppression of human rights.
Also, as for the original claim: Even Israelis are starting to speak out against that now. Have a look. I'm sure you'll have even more fun in the comments section on this one:
ruclips.net/video/aRNAJCHxa7w/видео.html
Rudeness weakens your position. You did post the words "rightly wiped out" - did I misunderstand your words? (cont'd)
No, it was not stolen. You are imagining that WW1 and San Remo agreement never existed, nor can you acknowledge UN 181 in 1947. The rest of your post is unintelligible.

Is that the best you can do for an argument- Typical- You give the pan Islamic trolling- and when you get answers you devolve into rant.
the old tricks won't fly anymore.
the enemies of humanity have lost their mask for good.

@clarebannerman yeah, he remembered to me Goebbels in his past years

You fail to say anything about Jordan - 80% of the mandated Palestine!
It was never their country- Read your history.
No missile terrorism - no blockade. Simple business. The UN approves the Blockage as well.
Mazal Tov to President Higgins. :)
I dont have to read the Torah I have read the Q`ran- That tells me who are the most brutal people alive-
Sura 9 and all that follows from that-
Then add
Dar ul-Harb Dar ul-Islam.
