    Comparing himself to Churchill defending the UK from the Nazis has got to be the shittiest analogy I’ve heard in a long time. You aren’t Churchill in this situation, Netanyahu. You’re the invader hell-bent on wiping out a population.

        That is a very fair point!

        There’s already a strong emotional connection between Irish and Palestinian people (as shown by Ireland being one of the first European countries to officially recognize Palestine recently). Now there’s another association - Churchill and Netanyahu’s loathing for their respective people.

          I was thinking India, actually. How he said Indians are a “beastly people with a beastly religion”, but yeah the Irish too.

            Oh he was a total shitheel to so many different people. Very effective wartime leader, but a horrible human being.
