Israel is always in the press and always for the wrong reasons. Someone recently called me a "Zionist" because of some of my views and I have to admit, I didnt even really know what Zionist even meant until I looked it up. Since looking that up I have read alot of articles about Zionism and Israels treatment of the Palestinians. Quite recently we seen the scandal about the Hamas leader being assassinated in Dubai, supposedly and more than likely by Mossad agents using false passports from a number of countries including Ireland and the UK. The Israeli governments response is, they neither confirm nor deny any involvement, which in my opinion translates to, we dont care what you think, we do what we want. EU foreign ministers drafted a letter to send to the Israeli government over the use of EU passports, which in my opinion will be put through the shredder after it arrives in Tel Aviv.
To pick out an arguement about Israel its seems like shooting fish in a barrel. You have the inhuman treatment of the Palestinians from the now 1000th day blockade of the Gaza strip. The use of chemical weapons on civilians resulting in record high amounts birth defects of new born children in Gaza. You have the blatant murder an American and British human rights workers and a journalist in Gaza in recent years. Which was documented in the BBC program "Killing is easy" which since its airing has been taken of the BBC website and is not listed anymore supposedly because of pressure from the Israeli government. The family of a British journalist murdered got a check in the post for $12,000 from the Israeli government which actually bounced when they tried to cash it.

The Israeli government show a complete lack of respect for human life and so do alot of the Israeli citizens themselves. My father lived in Tel Aviv before I was born and he has always claimed, that Israel feels they are allowed do these things because of the holocaust and other western governments wont intervene because of the same reason. Its also worth pointing out the one of the biggest critics of Israel is Hajo Meyer, an 85-year old survivor of Auschwitz.
Some Irish members will remember years ago when Irish retail workers went on strike because they refused to handle goods from South Africa during Apartheid. They same thing is happening now in Israel and no one seems to care.

It was my views towards Iran that made this person call me a Zionist.
