""Ireland for instance.
Did you even read the quote from their embassy web site?
Did you know they buy arms from Israel?
Jim should have a word with the government.""

One western nation which ""buys arms from Israel"" constitutes a good relationship and approval of all Israel's actions?

I DON'T THINK SO!!

All it shows is that one of the world's small number of neutral countries trades with Israel, which in no way is an endorsement of Israel's dealings with its neighbours.

Ireland doesn't take sides in any dispute! WHY?......Because it is a NEUTRAL country.
