SPORT AR TROOPZ! (except the ones who don't agree with me)
kevin, you wouldn't last half a fucking day in the army.
I stand to be corrected by the Irish/Republican people on here, but iirc it goes back to the days of the Hunger strikes when Palestinians expressed support for Bobby Sands and the others on the hunger strike. Republicans supported the Palestinian struggles and flew the Palestinian flag at marches, and Celtic supporters did the same at matches. The loyalists took to flying the Israeli flag in response and to be provocative.

ages ago when they started flying the star of david, we suggested it was more provocation than actual support. however, with the exposure of alan lake/ayling and mr tommys romance with pamela 'stella' geller the ZOG nuts started creating about it and it was widely suggested there was an ulterior motive behind EDL support of Israel: ayling/geller influence on any ideological future and meanwhile just tell the foot and mouth soldiers that Israel is the only country fighting against muslims etc to get em onside. that was the general rumour etc. which in part sounded feasible.
NF and that loser jock shearer from oldham.
I always thought it developed from ulster paramilitaries flying the Star of david, from where it was adopted by hooligan elements in the Rangers fanbase, then adopted by EDL casual's ect,there has always been more star of david flags at their ralllies than there are members of their Jewish Division at any rate.
thanks for the brief history. i didnt know this had been used by loyalists etc and co-opted by soccer types. as for SWP in manchester, about 40 infidels, casuals, etc managed to assemble in leigh where there was a bit of opposition and a bit of plod action. they could have been on the way to or from leigh. an easy target and a piss poor 'unifying national' demo.

only stupid wankers hold up politicians as people to be emulated.Some very senior Welsh politicians support the Palestinian cause not many senior English politicians would do that..
why does the territory of the palestinians have such strong historical resonances for irish, welsh and scottish people?The Palestinians are a small group of people living under oppression on their own territory which has strong historical resonances for Irish, Welsh and Scottish people.
tbh i would be surprised if many people posting on this thread didn't have some right-wing extremist literature somewhere at homeI heard on Radio 4 news this morning that it's been found that the Boston Bomber who died had been reading Right Wing US stuff as well as Jihadist websites.

What Celtic people? Claiming that Celts are subjugated is like saying Mesopatamians and Assyrians are.
but that's not what you said. you said "The Palestinians are a small group of people living under oppression on their own territory which has strong historical resonances for Irish, Welsh and Scottish people." - you said it is the territory which has strong assocations for the scots etc not the plight of the palestiniansBeing forced to live as a second class citizen in your own homeland occupied by foreign invaders that force their own laws and rules on you, may be centuries ago for the Celtic peoples but there is still an empathy towards other small groups wanting freedom and self determination.

I think that's a rather offensive comparison
Did you know what the Incas did to the people they conquered?Why ?, do you know what the invaders did in the Celtic countries ?
trampie is a dick but i don't see what's offensive about it. welsh people were being beaten in school for speaking welsh and their language was being suppressed as recently as 60 years ago. and given the history of Ireland i can well understand an irish person feeling sympathetic to what's happened to the palestiniansI think that's a rather offensive comparison

yep you're right. as his is bollocks about english/jewish people which hes probably gonna start up againThe point doesn't have to be made in agreement with someone whose reason for posting the comparison is simple racist trolling though. Racist trolling is offensive.
Fair point, I was just disputing his idea that the Celtic people still exist and I'm still unclear as to how far we can go back before it all becomes irrelevanttrampie is a dick but i don't see what's offensive about it. welsh people were being beaten in school for speaking welsh and their language was being suppressed as recently as 60 years ago. and given the history of Ireland i can well understand an irish person feeling sympathetic to what's happened to the palestinians
I thought Tramps Piss had been banned for racism.
