Lest we forget Rory has defended, publicly, Israel’s actions against Palestinian civilians.
So what?
That really is a low shot. Where and when did Rory Cowan defend Israel’s actions against Palestinian civilians exactly? And besides, of what relevance is that anyways?
Talk about witch-hunts.
…one memory that won’t be erased will be the antics of Rory Cowan during the last mass murder in Palestine…
I do seem to remember him absolving Israeli forces of the deaths of little kids in strong terms a few years ago.
And just how is that of any relevance to this event? If you dig enough into anyone you’ll find a plethora of stuff that you might not agree with, which shouldn’t affect your thinking on the stuff you do agree with.
These talks are a great idea.
Emcee? Strong case of the dictations going on there…
Funny how the Irish are quick to support a sectarian murder gang like Hamas.
Apt username.
I chose it to make things easy for slow learners like you.

The corollary of having contempt for someone who tries to justify child murder is not support of a sectarian murder gang, poo for brains.
As opposed to the murder gang that is the IDF? Some of us oppose all murder gangs.
