DUP says Sinn Fein ‘need to have conversation about anti-Semitism’

Jim Crane: One plastic state showing support for another plastic state. Should we be surprised?

Joe Marley: Israel came into existence in 1948.

Sean McNally: 112 dead and over 13,190 injured in the border protests.

South Londonderry RSC:

Makes a change from Irish republicanism supporting Jewish paramilitaries in their fight for independence against British soldiers during the British mandate for Palestine.

Jason O’Connell: Well done for highlighting the DUP’s own lack of historical knowledge.

Ian Edge: A match made in heaven. I’m sure their conversation will be very positive. Unfortunately, the anti-Semitism chants don’t work for those of us who actually care about our fellow humans (and nothing to do with their faith).

Honey Sullivan: For what? They’re not even sitting in government.

Ciaran Anderson: Who funded this pointless trip?

Kenneth Shaw: Ciaran Anderson, what’s it got to do with you?

Ciaran Anderson: If it’s publicly funded it has everything to do with me. They don’t represent me.

Bill Owen: Maybe they represent somebody else.

Colin Quinn: They’d be better spending their time working for the people here. On both sides of our divide, without getting involved in another divided region.

Darren Couser: Love the stock picture — the obligatory burning tyre.

Ross Archibald: Darren Couser, I couldn’t work out if it was the West Bank, or west Belfast.

Tom McDonnell: Ross Archibald, must be a bit stupid, are you?

Martin O’Neill: If there is no Assembly, who approved/paid for the trip.

Nicholas Trelford: Sinn Fein offended by apartheid in other countries, but quite happy to have it in their own.

Dana Jamison: Pointless. But so is Sinn Fein’s support of the Palestinian cause. They want to concentrate on here.
