Michael D's facade as a progressive is quickly fading away after he got where he wanted to be. After honouring those soldiers fighting for the Union Jack hand in hand with that bigot Kevin Myers, now he salutes Irish Troops part of UNIFIL, the UN occupying force in Southern Lebanon. Though their stated objective is to prevent military clashes between Israel and Lebanon, UNIFIL is not in the border, split between the two sides of Israeli-Lebanese border, but they are exclusively on the Lebanese side. Strange indeed for a so called neutral force -sure, they would not like to upset the Zionists by setting a foot in "their" territory? They are completely uninterested in stopping Israeli reconaissance flights or attacks, but they are quite effective in dismantling Hizbullah resistance capacity. For that reason, they have been criticized numerous times as an occupying force at the service of Zionism. Now Michael D praises those heroes defending the interests of Tel Aviv and containing the Hizbullah resistance forces on Southern Lebanese soil while uninterested in containing the Israeli side on their own territory. The best thing he could mutter was the good sense of humour of the imperialist troops as a sign of Irishness -sure, we are a good laugh, especially if dressed as leprechauns!
So sad that the so called leader of the so called left in Labour has been reduced to this, to be the denial of everything he once stood for. That's Labour for you! Sure, don't get disapointed on the next elections, you know what you'll get!
"You should all be very proud of yourselves. I am certainly very proud of you," he said to the soldiers.
"Time and again our courageous Defence Forces make huge personal sacrifices in order to serve the needs of distressed people throughout the world.
"Not only do you ensure that Ireland earns international trust and respect, you also wonderfully represent the care, the generosity, the sense of justice, and the good humour in times of difficulty that are such an important part of our Irishness.
"I thank you again for making us all feel so proud of your contribution to peace and would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a contented and peaceful New Year."
