      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.

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