Not that I know much about it, but I assume Ireland also knows much about two close areas attacking each other....

With you up until the racism.

StalinistTransition ,

can’t be racist to white people, thats not how racism works. Prejudiced, yes, but i don’t have an entire state (for white supremacy its more like a whole world order) backing up my bigotry, if i did then it would be racism.

Prejudice on grounds of race against an individual or group is quite literally the definition of racism.

You yourself do not have to be a state to be racist.

That’s a pretty seppo take on racism.

StalinistTransition ,

its actual political theory which backs up my statement, you seem to just be grifting off a definition and your bruised ego. Read books, and get rid of the internalized white supremacy while you’re at it, there is far more to life than attachment to such fickle ideas.

There is a difference between simple prejudice, and prejudice that is backed by systemic power.

Both are bad of course. But one has the ability to ruin your day, while the other has the ability to ruin your life.

In most progressive theory, racism is explicitly about power, not merely individual prejudice. That isn't a new definition of racism, but it is a different definition than most of us learn when we are younger.

can’t be racist to white people, that's not how racism works.

Wat.

You're white. You break down on a highway at night. You flag a car down for help. The guy rolls down his window. He is black. "I'm not gonna help you because you are white". He drives off. Is this racist?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    As videos of Irish politicians advocating for Palestinians and criticising the Israeli government continue to go viral on social media, the question asked by those new to Ireland’s position is simple: why?

    In 2010, Ireland ordered the expulsion of an Israeli diplomat from Dublin when it was revealed forged Irish passports had been used by suspects in the assassination of the Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.

    In recent years, both houses of the Irish parliament have passed a motion calling for the recognition of the state of Palestine, although this remains in legislative limbo.

    This sense of kinship can express itself in daily cultural life – take the 2023 away kit of a popular Dublin football club, a partnership with a Palestinian non-profit sports organisation.

    The Irish president, Michael D Higgins, who occasionally raises eyebrows for speaking out despite his independent role, was firm in his response to Israel’s actions.

    Ursula von der Leyen’s strident expressions of support for Israel have jarred with Ireland – which still remains a militarily neutral country.
