What is so surprising to us who know history is that the Irish are supporting the colonizers. Jews are in their homeland. It's the Arabs who are colonizers.

There are 38 million Americans who identify as Irish. Is America the Irish homeland? No, it's Ireland.

To those who say Jews are colonizers: where is the Jewish homeland?

I've heard people say Poland, where Auschwitz is, thus revealing their true colors.

By that logic where is the Christian homeland? Jesus was born in Bethlehem, does that give all Christians a right to displace the people who live there?

Similarly the Irish are famous for being ethnically a Celtic people. The Celts originated in Hallstatt, Austria, so does that entitle any Breton, Cornish, Irish, Manx, Scot or Welsh person to turn up and settle on the shores of the Hallstätter See?

All humans trace their origins back to Mesopotamia, can we all claim some land in Iraq too?

Maybe that's why Bush invaded Iraq, he just wanted the land of his ancestors

You are being dishonest or severely brainwashed.

Ethnic groups doesn't have homelands, people born under a nation state [2] have homelands.

Israel was founded in 1948. You already know this.
