Subject: RE: BS: Hart questions Irish Americans
CarolC, well & truly said.

One notes in passing that Jews, Zionist and not, are among the groups who have had a bit of experience at being dominated and "ethnically cleansed". The modern-day success of the Zionist enterprise is of course a direct result of that. (Yes, and ironies therein abound today, I grant you.)

Anyway, since your study methods admirably include "...listen[ing] to arguments or debates between people who are in the same group but who hold different opinions...", surely you have learned a whole lot from the Jews! :) Others too of course (like we Irish, who fight among ourselves for want of other worthy opponents:); but Oy! you want 5 opinions, ask 3 Jews.

Why, they'd probably even disagree over the merits of Guest Battling McBoyne & his special interpretations of the Torah. Good points too there, King Willy. I'm sure the Orange Order would agree that "A state should be for its citizens, regardless of race." Must remember to boycott (you should pardon the expression) all those Nazi rallies on the 17th. Let's hear it for nice inclusive democratic diversity parades, like on the Twelfh. :)

Cheers & Peace
