Mary Kenny’s comments in The Irish Catholic are not helpful

Among the topics Mary Kenny writes about  in her column in The Irish Catholic this week are a united Ireland and Ireland’s passion for Palestine and what lies behind it.

In her piece on Palestine she writes: "Hatred of a Jewish Israel seems evidently part of the pro-Palestine partisans”.

What exactly does that sentence mean? Elsewhere she writes: "Keep pressuring `Apartheid Israel,’ proclaims one of the latest slogans. As is loathing of capitalism."

Again what does that last sentence mean?

She points out how the Gulf States, Arab and Muslim are fully behind Trump's strategy. Has she asked herself why the Gulf States are behind Trump?

All forms of anti-Semitism are evil. I recommend Ms Kenny listen to the podcast in which the late Conor Gearty is  interviewed. It’s the post of Saturday, October 18 on this blog.

Her last sentence on her piece on Irish unity reads: "A United Ireland might pay a dividend, but it will be a different country’.

Surely that’s self-evident. Her comparison with a family reunion is fatuous.

Is it fair to say her piece on Palestine is based on a hunch and her words on a united Ireland say nothing?
