Where is the Israeli Embassy please? Thanks

by Ciaron Thu Jun 17, 2004 15:29

Two blocks down toward the city from the U.S. Embassy on Pembrooke Rd. Get a bus from Trinity (right hand side of it as you face the gates on Dame St.)...get the 18 from Ballyfermot or Kimmage

You ought go to sleep happy tonight in the knowledge that you have made your point, and more, and not even given an indication of bus timetabling, postal address or such.
You've a great future. You could be a diplomat.

It's there to keep homicide bombers (even the child ones) out. It's a good idea, since the Palestinians and the Arab world have clearly shown they have no interest in co-existing peacefully with Israel.

This Caoimhe character has sadly picked the wrong side, she's been hoodwinked by the terrorist ladership of the palestinians.

I Was Shot While Escorting Jenin's School Children

by CAOIMHE BUTTERLY

In today's reinvasion of Jenin Refugee Camp, the Israeli Occupation Forces I had been trying to get between the unarmed children and the tanks. I went with a friend to evacuate a sick child and we were immediately arrested and taken to a place where about twenty Palestinian men were being blindfolded, handcuffed, stripped to their trousers or underwear, and beaten severely. After I was detained for two hours Israeli soldiers said that I was free to go. I asked permission to remain with the men, hoping to minimise the violence, but the soldiers refused, saying it was not allowed. When I refused to leave, I was forcibly dragged away, pulled down the road, and told that if I returned to the area I would be shot.
.
.
.
I looked back over my shoulder and could see the soldier in the APC pointing his gun at me from about one hundred meters. Near the entrance to the alley, I was shot in the thigh. When I fell they continued shooting in my direction. I crawled part of the way up the alley, and then some of the youngsters dragged me up the rest of the way. No ambulances were allowed into the camp, so I was carried on a makeshift stretcher to where a Red Crescent ambulance could reach me near the entrance of the camp. While I was in the Emergency Room of Jenin Hospital, Iain Hook of UNRWA was brought in. He died a few minutes later.

Caoimhe Butterly gives an interview to an American journalist

If ever someone fitted the bill as a fifth column it must be Ms Butterly.
How any one can deny the right of Israel to defend itself against 300 million arabs and the annihilation that would be their fate if they let down their guard is beyond me. but Ms Butterly goes beyond this and actively advocates the cause of an arch terrorist Mr Arafat and his bloodthirsty arab crew, who when facing the Isreali forces in open combat in 1948/56/67/73 ran like the cowards they are, and can only resort to indisriminate murder of civilians by brainwashing arab dupes to blow themselves up in pubs, buses and restaurants.
Yours Sincerely Peter O`Donovan

as you are obviously a dupe living a diet of undiluted Israeli propaganda.

Unlike you Caoimhe is a person of the utmost integrity and has lived in occupied Palestine and Iraq for extended periods and has been shot by Israeli soldiers "defending" themselves (in the same manner they "defend" themselves from their neighbours ie by killing them) and has a deep knowledge of the facts on the ground.

Your opinion is worthless, adding nothing to this debate, and you would do well to educate yourself before spouting this kind of uninformed drivel in the future.

In light of the genocide being perpetrated by Arab militia and with the undeniable support of the Sudanese Government, on black muslim citizens of Sudan, is Ms Butterly planning any protests against the Sudanese Government.
As she has so many high level contacts among her arab friends in the Middle East, is it possible that she could make a protest via such luminaries as Mr Arafat.
However it would have little effect as the genocide being committed by the Arabs of Sudan against their Muslim brothers is exactly the plan Arafat et al have planned for the Jews if they were ever to let their guard down for a minute.

As Caoimhe is very busy trying to save lives in Palestine, maybe Peter could show by example; his own protest against the Sudanese conflict. If you put as much time and effort into supporting peace, as you do knocking Caoimhe, you might surprise yourself and save a life.
