Discussion on Ireland and Israel Relations

As for the Irish obsession with Israel, which is part of the

underlying thing of your question,

uh,

I have to slightly subdue my anti-Irish, uh,

bigotries. Joking, of course. But I mean,

during the twentieth century, decided that in the war against Nazi fascism,

that it

should be neutral.

And it forbade its ports even being used by the Royal Navy in the fight

against Adolf Hitler. And many thousands of British servicemen

went to the bottom

obscene love of Hitler.

I will not hear in the twenty-first century the

descendants of the Hitler lovers in Ireland telling me about the Jewish

state's

right to exist. No.

No. I mean,

I'd rather hear Hamas sing

than hear Irish politicians talking about Jews.

They have no damn right. They've done nothing in their history

that gives them the right to tell the Jewish people what they should do in their

historic homeland. And they--
