Ireland has donated €0.5 million to the Gaza Strip following Foreign Minister Charles Flanagan's trip to the enclave ended yesterday.

Flanagan arrived in the Gaza Strip through the northern Erez border crossing for a brief visit yesterday.

"Today, I saw closely the size of the destruction made to the Palestinian families during the clashes which took place last year," he told reporters.

He said his country's donation would be paid to UNRWA in order for it to provide for the urgent needs of families in Gaza.

1. Good, they needed the money months ago. K&R

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

3. Perhaps Eire can show the world the way.

[King_David]

7. Hopefully not ... they gave a pittance....

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

9. What's wrong, dave? Are you afraid that more people might find inspiration

in what Ireland and Malala are doing...that they might give as well?

[hack89]

2. I would have held out for a truck load of Guinness. Nt

[King_David]

6. Would of been worth more than a half a million.

[libodem]

4. .

[King_David]

5. That's all ?

Cheap .

Malala , an individual donated $50000 dollars , half a million euros may as well be a handshake and carton of cigarettes for Ireland.

Some cheap donation...

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

8. You're a pretty dubious individual, dave.

Malala and Ireland both have given. Malala has given out of the hope for peace.

Given her character I'm not sure she would share your morbid sense of humor on the subject.

[King_David]

10. No sense of humor

For any country to donate half a million is disgraceful... May as well be nothing.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

11. I question your sense of humanity more.

Perhaps Israel can give, dave.

Oh, wait they have contributed.


They've contributed to the murders of hundreds of Palestinian children.


While Israel murders, Malala and Ireland hope to help rebuild.

12. Average house price in Dublin ,

In South County Dublin, the average asking price was up by 17.9% y-o-y in Q4 2014 to €455,649.

1 House , 1 single family house....





LOL

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. It will go a long way to help those in need, dave.

How much will your bizarre laughter help those same Palestinians...children?


Would Malala be on your side, dave, or helping those in need?

14. Microsoft Donates €1.3 Million of Software to Enable Ireland

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

17. Good for Microsoft.

Malala, gave.



Ireland gave.

[King_David]

18. Ireland gave a half of one million , barely the average house price in Dublin

A single family house.


LOL

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

20. See post #19. Thanks for giving, dave.

You certainly have shown your quality this evening.

The Irish government donated 1/2 Million

Seriously?????

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

19. Do you know that you have given, dave?

Thanks for the kicks.



This thread does show the passing DUer a few things.

1) That some people give.

2) That some people have nothing to offer.

[King_David]

21. Half a Million donated by Ireland...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

22. Keep the kicks coming, dave.

The more DUers see your true character the better.

24. Some people give while others have nothing to offer.

...except for the kick of course.

[shira]

25. A half- million Euros to Hamas nazis. I'm sure they appreciate that.

Not a damned penny will go to the people in Gaza who need it most.

Way to go, Ireland.



And this receives applause.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

26. Ireland doesn't use the British pound.

They use the Euro. And they haven't used the Irish pound in over ten years. If you're going to run your mouth off it's best to actually know what you're talking about.

[shira]

27. Thanks. Do u have a problem with Ireland funding Hamas' war? n/t

[azurnoir]

28. I guess in your book Malala Yousafzai supports and funds "Hamas" too?

both her and Ireland's donations are going to UNRWA

[shira]

29. At best, useful idiots. But still supporters of Hamas' genocidal aims...

Bassem Eid wrote an op-ed imploring Malala not to fund Hamas:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4602659,00.html

He's a real human rights advocate & not a "progressive" defender of Hamas.

[azurnoir]

30. I see your answer is a very wordy yes or she's simply stupid?

and as for Bassem Eid is he still paling around with Ben Pogrund these days, seems he got a gig writing for JPost for his efforts

[shira]

31. Can't say I know her motivation. But anyone who supported the Nazi effort....

....even if out of ignorance, was just as guilty of supporting genocidal maniacs as any other Jew hating nazi supporter.

Both being on the wrong side of history in a major way.

[azurnoir]

35. so your really saying Malala Yousafzai is as guilty as "any Jew hating Nazi" of supporting

" genocidal manics? Because she donated to UNRWA

shira

[shira]

36. Support of genocidal maniacs is still support of genocidal maniacs

Hamas are genocidal maniacs.

Nothing to be proud of there.

[azurnoir]

37. she donated money to UNRWA

[shira]

38. That money goes to Hamas. You have a problem with that? n/t

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

39. Do you have proof?

Otherwise you have "poof."

[shira]

40. Palestinian human rights activist implores Malala: No money to Hamas, UNRWA

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4602659,00.html

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

41. The question was "Do you have proof"

that Ireland is supporting hamas...

[shira]

42. Yeah, that was a Palestinian human rights activist & expert....

And he knows very well that any funds going into Gaza goes straight to Hamas.

The money is funding Hamas' teen military training camps, rather than going to Gaza's poor.

You support that, correct?

[azurnoir]

43. Eid is human rights activist about as much as Malala Yousafzai is a supporter of genocide

The money is going to UNRWA's schools, would you rather Gaza's children were unable to read and write?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

44. I don't support your unfounded, innacurate and felonious accusations.

[Jefferson23]

32. Useful idiots? Nice language against the young woman we're seeing here.

Bassem Eid

Neocon connections

In May 2007, Bassem Eid traveled to South Africa where he mostly spoke to pro-Israel groups. He appeared together with Benjamin Pogrund. Eid chastised both Hamas and the Palestinian authority. Several Palestinian activists in SA viewed Eid as a convenient propagandist for Israel -- a sell-out. An account of one of Eid's lecture can be found here (page 8).

Bassem Eid has appeared as a speaker for a workshop at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya. One can safely state that Bassem Eid is a Palestinian collaborator with Israel – one can determine that by just observing the august company he keeps, rubbing shoulders with Avigdor Lieberman, Shaul Mofaz, Moshe Arens, etc.

In June 2007, Eid attended and was a panelist at the neocon Democracy & Security International Conference held in Prague.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]
