Cork city has gone to the dogs.

https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41494475.html Is this for real? Principal should be…. Bad enough so many of us avoid town on Saturday because of these mupppets but using kids like this for a political cause is sick!

Maybe he could arrange a trip for this Irish Father/Daughter so the children could hear from someone their generation who could tell them about their experience

Probably because they're suffering/under occupation from a modern first world country that is supported by the US etc. And they've received almost universal condemnation for decades but it still goes on.

And after a year of crusties hanging around Grand Parade shouting every Saturday afternoon, what has changed?

I genuinely don't get the obsession with Palestine. Their people are suffering, but so are millions of other people in the world.

Is it because people like the flag or something? It's just self serving back patting bullshit IMO.

Basically, the baddies in the Western World are America. The baddies in the Middle-East, are obviously Israel. The 2 are inextricably linked, culturally, financially and militarily.

The Palestinians, and anyone remotely connected to them in their cause of resistance to Israel, have always taken a hammering anytime they get a bit uppity and push back against the status quo. The fact that Israel run a regime that forces people to feel the need to resist, no doubt, exacerbates any lingering sympathies for the oppressed.

The David V Goliath analogy isn't helped by the fact that everyone's favourite cunts, i.e the US military machine, is backing the Israeli regime with hardware and technology deals flowing in both directions.

What is strange, ironic and tragic, is the behaviour and reasoning of the Israeli state, given the relatively recent history of their people. Genuinely cannot fathom it.

So, to answer the question asked, the bullied continue to be bullied by the bullies with the backing of even bigger bullies.

Anyone give a fuck or protest about the behaviour of ISIS/Boko Haram? Anyone? Bueller?

I remember teachers being very pro Palestine in the 90's.

Teachers.....people who started school at the age of 4 or 5 and are still there.

I have to say I’m increasingly amused by how dim you actually are. It’s hilarious how you try dress it up as intellectualism then too. More children have been murdered by a supposed western democracy in 12 months than all conflicts worldwide in 5 years. If you don’t see that as garnering major outcry there is literally no helping you.

I'm glad I amuse you

Well you have to go to college at some point to be a teacher. I am sure some of them go outside too at some point
