“Even though the land could not yet absorb sixteen million, nor even eight, enough could return... to prove that the enterprise was one that blessed him that gave as well as him that took by forming for England a little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism.”

I'm not going to share the stupid shit I've seen online, but the cognitive dissonance is immense. The Israeli alt-right are saying things like "The Irish are terrorists" and "We should invade them", and I'm thinking "Hang on, we messed you - and the Palestinians - around the same way we did Ireland, if not for so long. We called them terrorist, we called you terrorists. Lots of people here use the same 'two tribes who will always fight' argument about both Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine, in complete ignorance of how much we did to set up both situations. The Irish are the last people you should be hating." But I guess this just shows how much colonialist thinking has become dominant in Israeli politics.
