Palestinian youth fly the Tricolour while stopping the IDF entering their communities

What do ye think about us being associated with the Palestinian struggle?

Funnily enough during the Israeli war of independence, Yitzak Shamir, who went on to become Israel's seventh prime minister, had the nickname 'Michael' after the Big Fella cos he tried to emulate the tactics Collins used against the British.

Palestinians have identified themselves with irish Republicans for years and vice versa.its not uncommon to see the palestian flag in Republican areas of northern Ireland.

Ah yes, the Ivory Coast, the epitome of analogy to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

And the Israeli flag in hardline loyalist areas... because, you know those hardline loyalists (*cough* some of them with links to far-right groups *cough*) - they simply LOVE the Jews.

Gas isn't it,game of flegs.as a side note I met a lot of Israelis around south east asia who just finished their army service and a lot of them would ask me if i was a Republican,don't think they're particularly fond of the Irish.

The tit-for-tat pettiness reminds me of a kid who's always fighting with their sibling, choosing to like the opposite to what the other sibling likes (e.g. Blur if the other sibling likes Oasis).

ya nothing new, often see some bell end from finglas who has a Palestine flag crossed with the tricolor over a picture of them in a guy Fawkes mask as their Facebook profile picture as they rant nonsense about water meters or something

Sympathisers identify with each with other due to the brutal oppression both Irish and the Palestinians have suffered at the hands of an occupier. There's many similarities.

Loyalists up north would identify with Israel due to them being an occupying force and subjecting the natives to borderline ethnic cleansing.

Hopefully the international community can finally force the US to stand up for freedomand rights of a non white people and make Israel release the noose that the Palestinian people are in.

They won't give them a two state as the Israelis want to cherry pick all the best land on the West Bank and run them out of Jerusalem in their so called land swaps. The Israelis also won't absorb the Palestinians into a single state as over 40% would be Arab and with a higher birth rate, this would break the ideas of a Jewish state for Jewish people and f anyone else who have lived on the land for thousands of years.

Was over in Warsaw for the RoI game a few weeks ago. The West Belfast RoI supporters club were throwing a right strop because the couldn't find anywhere to hang their fleg. Everyone had a great laugh watching them bicker with themselves and other fans over it. They really love their flegs in NI.

Its a two way street, like 'HELLO' its not as if the Republicans & Hamas are saints!

nobody said they were saints. however by stopping every chance of implementing change via peaceful means the israelies and loyalists are completely responsible for the support that hamas has and the IRA had. the loyalists via their friends the british government.

That of course depende as to which side of the fence you are on, and I ain't on the IRA side, nor the Hamas side for that matter.

no it depends on facts. before bloody sunday the IRA had no support, or at least meaningful support. the bloody sunday and subsiquent murder by BA thugs gave the IRA the support it needed. just like the IDF thugs increase support for hamas with every slaughter and use of palestinian children as human shields

Probably best if you just stick to what you know and avoid stuff like this.....

.....internment (August 1971) was the catalyst in growth of PIRA membership.

For example in 1969 it was estimated that the IRA had less than 50 volunteers in Belfast - by the end of 1971, in that city alone it was estimated that the PIRA could field 1200.

Bloody Sunday didn't happen until January 1972 - the PIRA were well on the offensive at that stage.

internment was small fry in recruiting volunteers compared to bloody sunday. bloody sunday and subsiquent slaughtering gave them enough volunteers to keep up a sustained campain. in 1971 they wouldn't have had enough to keep up a sustained campain dispite what volunteers they had. so actually i'm still right.

There are plenty of parallels between Ireland and Palestine.
Forget about Hamas and the IRA

Probably not photoshop, there has been well established support between Irish and Palestinian communities for many years particularly during the troubles. Both states have murals depicting the others struggles which can be easily found in google images but i'm just to lazy to upload.

biko

Yeah, I was just joking.
But no sources whatsoever have been shown that Palestinians even know or care about the IRA.
I have seen the PA flags in Belfast so I know there is some support there.

Did you know that there exist a street in Tehran called Bobby Sands Street? It was originally named Winston Churchill Street.

There's also a fast food joint named after him,they like their martyrs in iran,plus various monuments around the world dedicated to him.

Sickening.

Hopefully a formal complaint will be lodged to discourage this behaviour by these Palestinians.

As a homosexual you defiantly should be on the republican side. The loyalists and unionist politicians are disgustingly backward in their views on the gay community.

I think that's a bit unfair to be honest. My father is friends with an Israeli living in Ireland for many years who of course had to serve his mandatory time in the forces. Having talked with my dad about it, it's clear many Israelis are quite ashamed of their history and what has been allowed to happen but are not exactly vocal in those opinions.

And just for your information, I have no time for Loyalists (or their politicians) up North.
You may leave Unionists & Unionism (moderate) out of it, as I have a lot of sympathy for them.

You seem to have completely misread my earlier post and that's probably my fault. I was directing my comments at those who wear their shameful service in the brutal IDF as a badge of honour. I myself had a very good Israeli friend when I lived in London. He was an IDF army medic and refused to serve after the Jenin massacre. Most of his mates whom I met, were of a similar mindset and were also not proud of their service. So apologies for not making that clearer in my last post. But I certainly wasn't directing my commentary at the decent Israelis who had no option but to serve or felt forced to do so.

They seem to like the UVF and UDA. Otherwise they wouldn't have sold on discounted arms to them etc. Oh, and the old regime in South Africa as well.

The IRA and the PLO have been buddies for years. The PLO gave arms to the IRA during the seventies.
