I’m allowed to say the following because I’m Irish. We get to say it about each other. Except this time, the N-word is “Nazi.”
Ireland, Norway, and Spain are now recognizing a country that does not exist and never has.
Ireland Recognizes Palestine As Independent State
So: Hamas butchers and rapes a bunch of innocent people, diligently documents it all on livestream video, and now the world is supposed to hand them a state? Please take that idea and stuff it up your bottom with a broom handle till your tonsils ache.
It’s official: Antisemitism is mainstream, and nobody cares because none of these guys are wearing MAGA hats.
The left and the right both have a big antisemitism problem. They’ve both got a bunch of weirdos who hate Jews and are always finding reasons to blame them for everything. The difference is that the right shuns and belittles their loathsome antisemites, while the left sends theirs out in a suit and tie to address the entire world.

The PLO sends “ambassadors” to the UK, India, Chile and Australia according to my reading of Google.
The PLO is the defacto government of the West Bank (or at least much of it).
As opposed to the strange view of a few odd cranks like Scofield, etc.
“As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.”
“The State of Palestine had been officially declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on 15 November 1988, claiming sovereignty over the internationally recognized Palestinian territories: the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. By the end of 1988, the Palestinian state was recognized by 78 countries.”

“The Jewish population in Ireland is 2,557 according to the 2016 census, more than half of whom are Israelis working for multinational corporations.”

HAMAS runs part of Palestine - Gaza.
HAMAS does not run Arab Palestine nor (as I understand matters) does any national government the US recognizes think it does.
It is my understanding that HAMAS is a terrorist organization run by thugs that runs a small portion of Gaza without legal authority to do so.
“According to the 2022 Irish census, the number of Muslims resident in the Republic was 83,300 (1.62% of total population).”

So... blaming a whole country on the behavior of the few. Sounds exactly like what they’re chanting at college campuses right now.
This slander against Ireland is because Irish citizens have recently destroyed construction equipment that was to be used to build housing for invaders and the construction equipment rental company made it known they weren’t going to rent for such jobs anymore. They also burned down several buildings that were going to house alien invaders.
The UK has? More like the EU has.
Since the 1860s.
Don’t twist Scripture unless you want to be judged by God. Have a look at Romans 8:29 as a starting point, then 10:1 and 11:26 of the very same epistle.
Romans 8:29
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
I don't see what this has to do with Dispensationalism. More like Calvinistic Predestination.
Romans 10:1
Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
Paul is hoping that Israelites will be saved (i.e., that they will accept Christ). Why must he hope and pray? Because their salvation is not assured just because they are born Israelites. This passage undermines Dispensationalism.
Romans 11:26
and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
Ah, I was waiting for that one.
The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible has an essay on the question: Who Is "All Israel"?
Three theories have been advanced. "All Israel" is...
1. Spiritual Israel (the Church).
2. Ethnic Jews (Dispensationalism).
3. Ethnic Israel (the interpretation of the Catholic essayist).
By "all Israel," Paul means that among the Israelites who accept Christ, there will be members from all 12 tribes.
It does not say how many or few Israelites will be saved. In fact, that prophecy might already have been long fulfilled, as the early Christian communities might well have included members from all 12 tribes.
The essayist observes that many passages in the OT use the phrase "all Israel" to mean the 12 tribes.
Also, Paul was a Benjaminite, a tribe that was almost wiped out in the period of the Judges, something that would have been on Paul's mind.
Judges 21:3
And they said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that today there should be one tribe lacking in Israel?”
In Romans 11:26, Paul is assuring his Jewish readers that no tribe will be lacking among those who accept Christ. He is not saying that being born of Jewish blood makes you special, or gives you a special destiny.
Acts 10:34
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.
“It is my understanding that HAMAS is a terrorist organization run by thugs that runs a small portion of Gaza without legal authority to do so..”
You understand wrongly. There was an election in Gaza with international observers, including that idiot Jimmy Carter. It was declared “free and fair and legitimate”. They’ve run the entirety of Gaza ever since they consolidated power about 10 years ago.
