  1. Gotta hand it to the lads they stick to what they feel is right…love em for it

  2. Good for them, i dont see how any self respecting Irish person (or self proclaimed Irish patriot), cant see the similarities. The only difference is instead of vague recollections of the Omagh bombing, or driving up north past sniper towers, or hearing of the armed searches or seeing pictures of Bloody Sunday or British soldiers on the streets.

    Instead we see live videos, live feeds, documentaries shot in real time, of what is happening in Gaza. First hand accounts and testimony, live pictures of starving children with legs blown off from Israel bombing where they live. This is not right.

    (Edit: Also before downvoting me, try and think of why? Why do you disagree with what i said? Why do you think its ok what is happening ? And then explain it in a comment after downvoting me, lets engage in discussion.)

  3. They’re good lads they’re our lads they know the crack

  4. I don’t think the crowd could understand the accent. Which is understandable. But what was clearly understandable to all attending, was the solidarity, and commitment to keep speaking out against the crime of genocide!!

  5. I get speaking up for Palestine. I have no words to describe the pain I feel in my heart every day thinking of the region.

    But I am curious as to why they bring up the Brits every time they speak on it? Why are they not trying to unite voices against injustices and genocide?

    By this point, everyone knows Ireland was damaged through British colonialism. But Ireland wasn’t colonized by the “Brits” for 800 years. There are many nuances in the story. They are sidelining important history. It started with the Vikings who ran the largest slave trade in all of Europe at the time, in Dublin. The Vikings then went to Normandy, learned French, then fully conquered England with a new Norman identity, ended slavery, then went to Ireland. The Vikings who mixed with the Irish earlier on had paved the way for the later Norman colonization.

    If Western civilians and the English hadn’t felt so threatened during the early stages of the crisis in the east, exacerbated by social media and real life events post-pandemic, there might have been more voices advocating for change before the situation escalated. By continuing to blame “the Brits” while trying to raise awareness, they have been alienating potential allies. This is a natural human response. People turn away from a narrative that feels divisive. We simply cannot afford to lose engagement. We need to encourage broader participation. Stop encouraging division and heal it. This isn’t about Ireland’s historical suffering, it’s about Palestines current suffering. We need all voices, now and loud.

    Free Palestine.
