Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

And you know it is official policy. No surprise there. Its one of the first things you learn about Iran in international strategic blogging school.
_________________________________________
Here's a reminder of the moment when Isreal's president said he shook hands with both Syria and Iran at the funeral of pope JP2 8/4/05.-
""I told him 'Good morning' and he shook my hand," Katsav, who holds a largely ceremonial postas head of state, told Israel's Channel 2 TV on his encounter with Assad. The Israeli and Syrian delegations had been seated next to each other. Iranian-born Katsav said he spoke in his native Farsi to Khatami (of Iran) about their common city of birth. Iran officially seeks Israel's destruction. "The president of Iran extended his hand to me, I shook it and told him in Farsi, 'May peace be upon you'," said Katsav."
But today the Iranians say it was all a zionist plot.""
(I'm quoting my report on the mafia moment when teh world's leadership all shook hands and exchanged the sign of peace, just after Katsav and Assad, Katsav and Khatami, was Charles of Wales and Mugabe http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=69302 )
two days ago. This comment is not directly related to the "cartoon war", but rather i want to ping how I announced and linked to the Iranian news agency on the "conference for rabidly anti-zionist people" which was followed by the Al Qods day Iranian rallies.
Since that conference former brickie Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has continued to ratchet up "anti-zionism" and thats the reason i've joined those opposed to Iran being allowed develop nuclear technology. {Any state which sponsers and incites street violence not only in its own territory but beyond in the name of insult by a European state demanding censorship which subsequently denies the Holocaust {in which millions of European citizens were denied their citizenship, educational qualifications, homes, jobs, put to enforced labour, tatooed, starved and subject to experimentation and then murdered systematically} in its _own press_ is not a state which may be allowed to screen a labour force (unionised or not) to work in, build, maintain, or secure a nuclear facility for the simple reason that : a state which censors foreign media & internet is responsible alone for the conditioning of hatred, prejudice and xenophobia amongst its own population or labour-force}

Now here on this thread, I want to explore contemporary Iranian anti-zionism and to point out that it has as much to do with offending Europeans as Jews. Two weeks ago Ahmadinejad speaking on the elections in the Palestinian Authority declared that "if Europe were to open her doors, no jew would be left in Israel". Meanwhile, the wise and prudent amongst us, have suggested substitution "israeli state" for "Zionist entity" in a fudge which would allow hamas talk to the other side of their apartheid realpolitik.
I want to now call a bluff.
The majority of victims of the Holocaust never left Europe, leaving aside the millions who died, who may conveniently be labelled "jewish" or "gay" or "mason" and noting that we never say "oh well that murdered victim was a gay, communist jew with slavic nationality" the majority of Shoah survivors remained in Europe or went to the Americas.
40% of survivors who went to the israeli state and are still alive live in poverty, close to the bottom of the apartheid heap. The israeli state for the last 10 years has been dominated by a sector of that society which was born in the levant. Certainly were europe to offer full redress and compensation for the Holocaust, noting that Austria still hasn't paid its compensation claims, it is "hypothetical" that some would return to their continent, to their homes. But as anyone familiar with the typical post IDF stint of obligatory service year on drugs in London phenomona, many of them would have "a lot of attitude". It might be better for the iranians and those they try (badly )to speak for to consider the "real-politik" that several million israeli citizens in the israeli state is actually better news for their neighbouring muslims than in the EU with even greater chips on their shoulders.
The israeli state which comprises the aparthied entity of israel proper and the occupied territories is ethnically only barely above 50% "european". 40% are "arabic" regardless of faith.
I'll go on soon enough...
meanwhile condemn iran.
