Ireland seeks to block Israel access to data on EU citizens

The European Union will never be able to fully sever ties with Israel.

Dont worry , the muslims are not after their Lucky Charms

Looks like all the trendy one eyed Israel bashing is not going to save you dhimmis.

So lets sanction Israel based on allegations rather than evidence. For any other country or individual concrete evidence is required, but Israel gets special treatment. Many people wanted Mabhouh dead. Many countries, including Arab states, were happy to receive news that he had been dispatched, and couldn't care less who did it. Would it make you sleep easier in your bed if Mabhouh was killed by an Israeli drone missile strike?

is sat in a cell in Poland waiting for extradition to Germany where he is to be charged with forging a german passport for the purpodses of murder in Dubai. You must have forgotton about him.

in the light of serious diplomatic pressure from Israel (which tends to point at guilt) that there was grounds to send this particular Israeli to stand trial in Germany.

Not that there is any evidence that Israel was responsible, however, Mabhouh was not a nice guy from Gaza who was on vacation. He was a senior Hamas military commander. So if Israel was responsible for sorting him out, they were doing so to PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS. But you don't like Israel protecting its citizens do you. You just want to see them blown up and terrorized dont you?

Absolutely nothing wrong with Israel protecting their own citizens. just use Israeli passports to do it and not ours.

Yes, lets see that bankrupt Island of Ireland flexing its morality against Russia. Come on, you are so proud of your morals and standards, expel a Russian diplomat and publicly condemn Russia.

Ireland is both "morally" and "financially" Kaput.

You havn't paid for crap, OK. Stop that useless line that american anti semites love to pull out about how they are being taxed to support Israel. B.S. Most of our taxes go to fund our local projects like schools, highways and other stuff. None of your tax dollars goes to Israel, and if any of it does, it's negligible, so get off your high horse

Unlike the billions given by the USA to Arabs aid to Israel mostly does NOT leave the USA Ever tried checkingv your facts before shouting your slogans or is that too much like hard work ?

Do you know where these so called tax dollars actually go? They go to the American economy to maintain American jobs and industry. Israel gets a line of credit which it can only spend on American goods. So whether you like it or not, a bad situation in the Middle East is good for American jobs. It may not be nice, but thats the way it is.

The EU worries about terrorists, regardless of their creed or reasons. That doesn't mean that all people of, for example, Islamic faith are treated like terrorists. I realize you might not agree with this approach Cipora, but we think it is important not to turn into a suprematist society that scapegoats minority groups. In fact, such a thing is more worrying than a handful of terrorists could ever be.

You're right, EU shold also worry about Israel becaue they're forging passports of real innocent citizens and killing people with it. O wait, that IS what the EU is doing.

you are deliberately misenterpreting what i said. it is a fact, however, that nearly all terrorism in the eu is carried out by radical islamists. it was reported just a few days ago that the uk's counterillegience is concentrated over ninety percent on preventing terror from islamist terrorists.

Dont worry O in another two decades, teh Muslims will either have bred the brits out of existence or immigrated teh brits out ofm existence. Already tehir is a hotbed of Islamic radicalism in teh UK why do you think the Uk abolished private gun ownership? had nothing to do really with Dunblane. Soon all Brits will pray 5 times a day facing mecca with their asses in teh air. Wunderbar! Ja?

?????

Why???

i seem to recall hundreds of innocent britons losing their lives due to irgun.

Here we go. "Founding fathers" (colonizers) of Israel kill thousands of people in a single year to establish their state, it's a miracle. Ireland or any other non-Jewish country kills the same number of their colonizers over several centuries, they're evil. Talk about two-faced.

and we must not forget the Arab pogroms dating back hundreds of years long before any of the current excuses.Obviuosly you have chosen to forget the blood on Arab hands. PS in the same time Arabs have killed millions of each other.You have chosen to forget that as well,that way you can make a great argument in your own mind.

omg, this is the most annoying hasbara technique by FAR. every single group in human history has done something bad at one point or another. yes, EVERY ONE, including the jews (poor canaanites and palestinians...) and the irish and the british and whoever else. but it doesn't matter. what matters is the present. in the PRESENT, ireland is a pretty damn peaceful place, and they're actually pretty tight with the british now. i don't see you criticizing those who condemn iran/north korea/whatever for speaking up because "they forget their past history". enough, y'all are giving me a headache.

"The Arabs" were being invaded. Did you expect them to happily let their homes be destroyed? (Don't answer that, because I fear you'll say "Why, yes I did."). And to conflate the Palestinians with the billions of Muslims worldwide is as ridiculous as saying that a Christian from, say, Tahiti is complicit in the Holocaust because most Germans were also Christian. Get a new line.

who came on long after the continuous Jewish presence in Palestine

2. Your heart bleeds when they get killed in their thousands,killing thousands of Jews, in a self declared attempt at genocide' their "war of annihilation" but when millions of Arabs kill each other it is "conflation" talk about it.What a twisted set of so called values- to suit your agenda. 3. None of you seem to have a problem with the vast majority of the B ritish mandate handed to Jordan but 15% going to Israel is a tradgedy and you want to be taken seriously.?

The Arabs of Palestine are the original inhabitants. Them and you Israelites are the same, you're both semites. They just became arabs because they spoke the language. during the birth of Israel, you guys massacred anyone not Jewish in order to have a "Jewish only" nation. Apparently its not working.

So as you know better kindly post your proof beyond reasonable doubt?

Israel also has the right to protect it's citizens, not just the EU who are plotting to destroy Israel through the back door.

Then stop taking EU subsidies - simple.

you might have missed the part where the russian spies were not actually spies... they weren't charged for espionage (spying), just acting on behalf of a foreign agency without registering first. and when has ireland ever condoned killing of kurds?! take a xanax, dude.

Don't you know that whenever someone gets mad at Israel for violating international law, it's because they're horrible anti-Semites? Of course, when any OTHER country violates international law, it's okay to get mad at them because they aren't The Chosen People (TM).

"Chosen People (TM)". Nice one.

Don't think the Irish are preaching to Israel, mate. They just don't want to give you access to their citizens' data. In view of Israel's behaviour on the international scene, that appears very reasonable, if you ask me.

that "Every major ...? Unless you can be more specific, we have to assume you know no more than the average reader on this subject. That is nothing.

Making up an identity and faking a passport is not what Israel is accused of doing, Israel is accused of forging passports of EU citizens in order to frame them for a murder. So who are you trying to kid?

The passports may have been fraudulent, but the identities on those faked passports were of REAL Irish citizens, and REAL Britons, and REAL Australians. That adds a different dimension to this issue, precisely because it implicates innocent people in a murder.

According to the published reports, only passports of Israeli citizens were forged. So who are you trying to kid?

i don't know if you're familiar with, uh, any sort of law at all, but all of the people involved also had residency in another country (including ireland). dual citizenship exists, apparently.

Funny why they didn't forge Middle Eastern passports. Why ruin your ally's reputation?

Why not worry about your home grown terrorists as well as the Islamic ones.? Some of who are quite likely already in Ireland. Enjoy! it looks like Norway does..

"irish terrorists" are largely a thing of the past. in the last ten years there have been less than two deaths related to "irish terrorism", due to northern ireland's new semi-independence from britain (see: the parliament at stormont). and there have been a total of ZERO incidents of muslims killing or endangering even a single person in ireland. who do you think you're kidding, mate?

& now Norway has likely been targetted for attack just recently. Both are very" progressive "in their pro Palesttinan & P.C .stance.,just like the Irish. What makes you think you are immune?Do tell.?

i am irish. i've lived in dublin my entire life. there may be idiots in ireland, but terrorism? none. perhaps some in northern ireland, which btw is part of britain--not ireland. glasgow is in scotland. and norway is in neither.

Ireland, beautiful country with excellent breed of intellectual people. don't mind the bashers here, they are insecure and paranoid, i think its called "inferiority complex", or simply mentally challenged.

No doubt you do as well. Maybe you have both been to the same psychiatrist and now realise that telecommunications information must only be kept away from Israel.

Why don't you post your Visa number here? You can trust us.
