Ireland sees itself as a former colony of the UK. The plantations, the penal laws and the famine are three central events in Irish history which underline this. The toubles in Northern Ireland ensured that these themes are not forgotten. It is perhaps one of very few european countries which would place itself in the colonised rather than coloniser category. Irish people therefore identify with the colonised and can easily draw parallels with Palestinians.

Taiwan was returned to China after WWII, but the incumbant gov KMT was defeated by CCP and retreat to Taiwan. Native Taiwanese sadly lost their culture and population under colonial Japan and retreating KMT from mainland then caught in a huge conflict between Chinese and US. Now with majority of Taiwan people and culture being Han Chinese, the main focus is on the unresolved civil war. Dont forget Taiwan gov formally claim the entire mainland China as their territory.

We understand that talking, even with terrorists, is the only way of resolving deep inter-nation hatred. The application of overwhelming force in such an unbalanced way never leads to lasting peace. Does Israel think that the 10 year old boy we saw on the news, traumatised and hysterical after dragging the decapitated body of a relative from the rubble will grow up to respect or live peacefully with Israel? No, he will most likely spend his life looking for revenge. They are storing up generations of trouble for themselves.

It was renamed Syria-Palestina by the Roman emperor Hadrian when he drove the jews from the land when they refused to accept Roman gods. That name has become Palestine through time. There was never a Palestinian state, the name was made up to stick the finger up to the jews. The jews rightful home is ISREAL. The Arabs (you can’t call them Palestinians because that is a meme name) rightful home is ISREAL. This is not colonialism, this is a historic state torn apart by religious sectarianism by the Arabs.

They will continue to attack Israel till they achieve their goals, the annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel and then to kill all Jews worldwide.

I,m Irish, we had a huge problem gaining our independence from Britain and did so in 1921 , we had to use similar tactics to Hamas with the IRA , the British would always retaliate but in proportion ,Irish people have sympathy with Palestine cos their land was taken like ours and want independence, if the IRA did something the British would retaliate but not bomb the whole place cos most people were not IRA, isreals retaliation we think is disproportionate, we do not support Hamas or their activities in Ireland but just want fairness in that region to prevail.

The British would retaliate in proportion? Really? You might want to go revise our history then. The Brits ALWAYS escalated things. When Michael Collins and the IRA took out the Cairo gang in 1920 was the British response proportionate? No, they went to Croke Park and fired on civilians. Were the Black and Tans proportionate? Hell no. They kept escalating things even during the troubles with another Bloody sunday and ballymurphy massacre and many more like it. Not to mention all the collusion and covering for their own which is still going on today with them pushing through legislation to prevent their soldiers having to see the inside of a court room for the crimes they committed during the troubles.

​@@clearz3600pretty sure more than 1500 people died in the Troubles. What you're missing is the scale of the population. Israel and palestine have bigger populations than NI so the casualties are higher. Hamas is worse than the IRA in some ways but their demands are actually more moderate than what the IRA usually had in mind, Hamas has repeatedly stated they'll accept a 2 state solution with 1967 (or was it 1968, can't quite remember) borders, and the Israeli government has refused. There would be a less reactionary organisation in power called the PLO but the Israeli government literally funded Hamas to get rid of them. Bearing in mind that all nonviolent protest by Palestinians has also been met with lethal violence by the IDF what exactly do you expect Palestinians to do? They're kind of backed into a corner facing a genocidal war machine here. Though I can respect your broad opposition to attacks on civilians, I agree that is bad, I am not sure it is appropriate to say violence is unacceptable in these circumstances.

Ironically that’s how Israel was able to gain their independence from Great Britain, by forming several terrorists groups like the Irgun and they used very similar terrorists tactics, like the IRA, against both Great Britain and the Palestinians back then. With the British military being incredibly weakened after WWII, they weren’t able to fight against Jewish resistance and ultimately gave in to Israeli independence, the same year India gained their independence from Great Britain as well.

Even when they finally left, the Brits turned over their army bases and police stations to the Arab Legion.

thanks for the quick rundown

An excellent, educational summary 👍

I think another reason why Ireland is seen as an outspoken critic of Israel, is because other European countries are so conspicuously silent on the topic. Ireland is unique in Europe as having almost no history of antisemitism. As such, Ireland can criticise Israel with little historical baggage. Other European countries are reluctant to criticise Israel for fear that they will be accused of a return to antisemitic ways. In general Israel doesn't know how to handle Irish criticism, because they can't fall back on their tried and tested arguments. Irish people identify with the underdog in must situations. In the early 20th century we identified with the plight of the Jewish people. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries we identify with the plight of the Palestinians.

All other western nations are too high on their horse to care about the struggles of the less fortunate one's because they have grown WAY too fat on a "peace" they stole by keeping wars as far from their homes as possible and as close to those they consider enemies. (Russia, China, the Middle East, Africa, South America etc. basically ANYONE they cannot control.) Ireland has simply not forgotten or forgiven them for the unnecessary suffering they caused on their people. Be it the famine the UK used to try and "persuade" them that they need to be dependent on them to survive and joining them. Or the horrible treatment Irish immigrants have suffered there, in the US and other parts of the world. All because they would not bend the knee. Honestly for all their suffering they have a far brighter future than my country (Greece.) where our "politicians" (not even capable of being cleverly selfish or lie in a way we will not notice.) practically sold our nation. There is hardly anything ours here anymore, not even our olive oil.

Bit of a simplistic take on this

As an Irish person I commend this video. Thank you for making it. As others have said in the comments, our concern over what's happening in Gaza etc isn't just the awful humanitarian crisis, but the consequences for the future. Israel is making orphans and victims in its campaign of righteous vengeance, and these victims will be unfortunately prime candidates for future recruitment into more anti-Israeli organisations. The cycle of violence was broken in Ireland by brave peacemakers who acknowledged that one day, the two communities would have to find a way to live side by side. If Israel does not find a way to do the same, to have the courage to forgive and to trust, then the cycle of violence will never end. This is what we in Ireland hope for. We are not anti-Israel per se, but we are anti violence, and want to see a world where Israelis and Palestinians can work together for a common good. The current situation leaves no possibility for this outcome, and is unsustainable. Zack from Wicklow.

Not to mention how the war of independence invented the currenr form of guerrilla warfare and the ability of the columns to disappear into crowds of innocents made the Brits so frustrated that they began killing indiscriminately. When someone takes a human shield or hides behind an innocent, they do it because they think "god, itd take a sick, inhuman person to shoot at me now because they wouldn't want to risk hitting the hostage." The Brits, as we saw at Croke Park a century ago, and Irael today seem to ignore that part with their indiscriminant bombings of protected infrastructure and vehicles based on information that Hamas may be inside and proves that they dont care about the innocent collateral damage. Our independence was hard fought, but it is full of shame. We dont even have a proper day of independence like the Yanks have July 4th because our independence was followed by a horrific and painful civil war. Men strapped to landmines and then blown up and soldiers executed after interrogation. The murder of countless RIC men. The date we celebrate the most is the Easter Rising because, guess what, we had martyrs who's deaths fueled the years to follow. And Hamas now has martyrs. And the only reason they do is because one of the most endorsed militaries in the world thinks the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of millions is reasonable retaliation for the brutal murder and abduction of far less. We're only free because the Brits executed Connolly in a chair, dragged Plunkett out after hus marriage and shelled Dublin wirh a gunboat. Imagine what would have happened if theyd just been left to rot in Kilmainham. Or if theyd bedn tried fairly with the full force of public opinion coming down on them. We'd still be part of the UK. Israel has all the cards here.

Nice report. Just one small critique. Fianna Fáil: the Fáil part is pronounced fall, and not fail. This is because of the accent (called a fada) over the letter á. This accent gives the á dominance over the following vowel which leads us to the pronunciation; fall.

I'm from Ireland but I don't really back any violence. If people are doing horrific and disgusting things on both sides, such as killing civilians, or committing acts of terrorism, or killing in inhumane and disgusting ways, then I support no one. If someone is being oppressed, I support fighting for freedom. If someone tries to rule you and take away your rights, by all means, rebel against the oppressors. Stand up for your rights. But unfortunately, humans tend to do very disgusting things in war that I just cannot support, no matter the cause. I support freedom, justice, fairness, and peace... not evil.

My take on it is that as Irish people, given our own path to-date, feel the pain of civilians caught in the crossfire of war and condemn actions by all sides that lead to more devastation for civilian bystanders than for the intended targets, and we don't see retaliation as a valid excuse. We saw enough of that here, with people suffering widely as a result, only to exacerbate hostilities, and we had to rise above this kind of primal response in order to achieve unity and peace. Speaking as an Irish individual, I would say that broader sentiment isn't an issue with Israelis, but with what appears to be the near-sighted actions of the Israeli Government that will perpetuate and exacerbate the situation. I think the same could equally be said for sentiment towards the people of Gaza vs. the actions of Hamas, but the ball is largely in Israel's court now so that's the point of focus. The current path is divergent from the path to peace and, rather than trying to back a winner here, we have to encourage both sides to course-correct this trajectory. This is all a very simple view on a very complex situation, and we can't forget the historical displacement of Jews throughout the Middle East that has led to their stance of defence by offence. However, this doesn't give license to be unaccountable for current and future actions either.

Do you want to perpetuate the conflict indefinitely, I would like this conflict to end, and it seems that giving the Palestinians land doesn't end it. Israel doesn't have that much land to give, and the Palestinians want all of it, so giving them some land only gives them a platform on which to launch their attacks on Jews, which they just did. A two-state solution would not be necessary if the Palestinians would only have shared their land with the returning Jews after the Holocaust, after all Jews have just as much right to live there as Muslims or Christians, Israel is the birth place of two of those three religions, Judaism and Christianity, I don't see an Islamic State as Palestinian's birthright! Ask those Palestinian supporters in Ireland if they support an Islamic State in Israel where Christians and Jews have no right to live there and will be hunted down and killed if they try? Ireland is mostly Catholic, Palestinians hate Catholics just as much because they are not Islamic.

I appreciate your thorough analysis from the Irish perspective. I would ask of you, in the same breath, to take into account that people in the west (including Irish people) are looking at this conflict from the lens of western culture. The Middle East is a very different place, and this western lens leads some people to demand things without understanding the context. Demand things that might be counterproductive or even dangerous, even when done with good intentions. I’ll give you an example: Demands of a ceasefire. Sure, we all want the deaths to stop and a ceasefire sounds like the best way to do it. However, a ceasefire would only allow a genocidal terrorist organization like Hamas to regroup and rearm to both attack more Jewish people (as their leaders have stated they would repeat the massacres of Oct the 7th again and again) but also oppress the people of Gaza and use their suffering as a way to keep perpetrating this cycle of death. Irish people can indeed empathize with some of the things you mentioned, however, Ireland has never been taken hostage by an ideology that openly seeks to murder all non-Irish in Europe nor the conversion of all to Catholicism by force with the option of death if not. And that’s exactly what Hamas’ ideology is. It’d benefit greatly if people in Ireland and other places that seek the safety of both Palestinians and Israelis and an end to violence, to be able to look at it without the western lens, culture, and experiences. That might allow people to actually demand things that will allow both peoples to thrive: such as the demand to stop the indoctrination of young people to hate and cherish violence and death, which is the source of the conflict really.

The "journalists" youre referring to broke into Israel on 10/7 and one was holding a hand grenade. Previously a photo came out of him being kissed on the cheek by Hamas founder Sinwar. All MSM organizations fired them after investigating their links to terror organizations. They are Hamas members with cameras previously hired by MSM to do freelance work. That's all. God MSM loves to spin shit against Israel. BTW it's highly likely that these "journalists" had prior knowledge of the attack but failed to notify authorities, as they were on scene when the border fence was breached.

"Why the UK doesn't vote for a ceasefire" would be a better question though

@patarciepaul

6 ай бұрын

Why??? What difference would it make? The UK government doesn't legislate for Israel.

Do you (Brits) think we fought British rule for centuries for the laugh of it or something? When people fight, they fight for a good reason and when a nation fights it's because something was taken away from them! After the Norman/Anglo Invasion of Ireland in the 1100s, we then had Planters arrive as per The Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century which involved the confiscation of Irish-owned land by the English Crown and the colonisation of land with settlers from Britain. We fought back: 1. The two Desmond Rebellions took place in 1569-1573 and 1579-1583 to *fight against the threat of the extension of the English government* over the province. 2. The successful Battle of Clontibret was *fought against the British* in County Monaghan in 1595. 3. The successful Battle of the Yellow Ford was *fought against the British* in County Armagh in 1598. 4. The Nine Years' War, sometimes called Tyrone's Rebellion took place in Ireland from 1593 to 1603. It was fought between an Irish alliance to *fight against English rule in Ireland.* 5. The Rebellion of 1641 took place when Irish Catholics were being threatened by expansion of the anti-Catholic English Parliament and Scottish Planters and they *rebelled against English and Protestant domination.* 6. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was a major uprising *against British rule in Ireland.* (The Society of United Irishmen was led primarily by liberal Protestants). The Irish wanted an end to anti-Catholic discrimination, greater Irish self-governance, and to roll back the Plantations of Ireland. 7. The Irish rebellion of 1803 was launched by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* 8. The Young Irelander Rebellion was an Irish nationalist uprising led by the Young Ireland movement, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848. 9. The Fenian Rising of 1867 was a rebellion *against British rule in Ireland*, organised by the Irish Republican Brotherhood. 10. The Easter Rising of 1916 was piloted by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic. 11. The civil rights movement in the early 1960s challenged the inequality and discrimination against ethnic Irish Catholics that was perpetrated by the Ulster Protestant community. 12. Derry activists' marched on the 5 October 1968 in Derry, but were attacked by the RUC and loyalists. THAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF HOW WE HAVE FOUGHT AND RESISTED BOTH BRITISH RULE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE UNIONIST COMMUNITY.

The polititions in this country mistakenly think they speak for the whole population much the same way the church does. There are those of us who can think for ourselves

In my opinion, to be historically accurate, Ireland is closer to Israel because just like Rome conquered Israel, Britain conquered Ireland, and just as Israel rebelled from Roman rule multiple times, Ireland rebelled from British rule multiple times. Also, just as Jews were forced into a diaspora, Britain enslaved many Irish rebels and hobos. Britain despised Irish because of their faith, just like Romans did Jews. In another parallel, Ireland was really home to the first Protestant preacher, Patrick, just as Israel was home to Jesus, but that’s very very different.
