  43. Does Farrah think she persuaded even one person in the Belfast meeting by disrupting the event, I wonder. Sinn Féin has been supporting the Palestinian cause more than any other Irish party. Week after week in the Irish parliament Sinn Féin speakers have been asking the Irish government to do more for the people in Gaza. By her action of disruption at the meeting, Farrah wants to make herself an enemy of Sinn Féin. She will not find a party of politicians who are friendlier toward the Palestinians, including those in Gaza. She is critical of the recognized representative of the Palestinians in Ireland because the Palestinian ambassador is appointed by the Palestinian Authority but the role of the ambassador is to promote the links between all the Palestinian people and the people of Ireland, both North and South. It looks like Palestine recognizes Irish unity already. An argument can be made for attending the St. Patrick's Day visit to the White House and it is up to the Sinn Féin party what is best. Sinn Féin hope to be in government in the Republic as well as the Six Counties of the North and Ireland enjoys diplomatic relations with the USA. Visiting the White House is a way for the Irish people to get recognition every year by the sitting president. The Irish diaspora in the USA like to see the prime minister of Ireland deliver shamrock to the American president and to have a meeting of common interests. Ireland is not about to break diplomatic relations with the USA because of a difference with American policy by a particular administration. It is the Office of President as leader of the American Executive which counts. So, disrupting a meeting is supposed to help because Farrah does not like the decision of Sinn Féin to keep diplomatic relations with the USA? So every effort by Farrah to slur the Palestinian ambassador is used by shouting out that Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid was appointed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), not Hamas. There would be no Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland if she were to wait being appointed by Hamas. Hamas does not appoint ambassadors. The State of Palestine does and it is a function of the Palestinian Authority to carry on the traditions of the PLO. Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid is a Palestinian diplomat and has been one since 1995. Although appointed by the PA she represents all the Palestinian people and has presented her credentials to the President of Ireland. She is a very experienced, pleasant and caring mother of three children. In contrast, Farrah Koutteineh is a sullen, bitter, angry young girl who could use some manners.

  59.  @Bavafa1  Actually, we do know how this murder took place. It was a bomb planted in the safe house used by Iran to provide hospitality and protection to its guests. The bomb was placed months ago by a resident of Tehran who was allowed access to the room made available later to Ismail Haniyeh. Iran failed to protect Ismail Haniyeh. The Iranian security personnel allowed an Israeli agent access to the guest room weeks ago. This was a slip up. Even an amateur could penetrate such poor security. You are talking about a "real and effective defense system" but you are mistaken as this failure was a police one not a military one. When you talk of a defense system you give the impression that you mean the military and this is not the Iranian failure in this instance. How did the security police allow an Israeli agent access to the room? Did they overlook an Iranian member of staff who was easily bribed to place the bomb and stay around for weeks and months until he was given an instruction to set it off by smartphone remote control. Are they watching the ports and crossings by land and sea to catch the killer as he escapes to a home in Israel. Is he already in Florida? Good police work would have uncovered the planted bomb. Why was the room not swept for explosives? It would not have been expensive to protect Ismail Haniyeh but the Iranians failed. The one to punish is firstly their minister of state security, Esmaeil Khatib who runs the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
