[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, what up with the "dual loyalty is a myth and it's a hateful attack to suggest it exists..."

How about y'all get back to me in a couple days when everyone is wearing green and professing their loyalty and love of Ireland and all things Irish.

Meanwhile do you know how many American Jews I know who have spent time in Israel, on kibbutz, et cetera?   How many know their right of return and of guaranteed Israeli citizenship?  A lot.  "Myth" indeed.[/quote]

to be fair there is a pretty strong irish-american lobby. Remember during the troubles?

but yes, i made a thread about this years ago - inquiring how i don't really see other dual citizens or diaspora people have the same multi-generational engagement with the country of their ethnicity nearly to the same extent as jews and israel.

for example if indian americans, who have a ton of money as well, had an organization as powerful as aipac/zoa/rjc/etc and were politically as engaged on issues directly affecting india in the region, pakistan would be in a lot larger world of hurt.

During the troubles, the IRA was getting more money from Boston than it was from Dublin.  Cultural loyalties can run deep.  So to try and suggest it's absurd and a heinous myth is in itself absurd.[/quote]

in that i agree. [/quote]
