Quote of the day

Gerry does Irony:
"The haunting images of homes wrecked, of terrified families existing among rubble in shock and despair, and of endless funerals, has rightly outraged people across the world. Caithfidh deireadh a theacht le seo anois!!"

Speaking, of course, as a man who knows nothing of wrecking homes, terrifying families and causing endless funerals. No, of course not.

This blog is not the place for discussing the rights and wrongs of what's happening in Gaza, but I have to say that in my book the organisers of Belfast's anti-Israeli demo have lost all pretense of occupying the moral highground by not condemning the presence of numerous convicted terrorists at the march. As pointed out in the Jerusalem Post, in particular, the Brighton Bomber Patrick Magee and the ETA convicted ETA bomber Juan Ignacio de Juana Chaos were there to add their protest against the bombing and murder of unarmed civilians.
