FROM BELFAST TO GAZA

Why is there so much in common between the Irish Catholic people and the Palestinian people? It is a point of view that coincidentally annoys oppressors on both sides equally.

What have we made of ourselves as humanity when we watch undaunted the bestialities such as we see today in various parts of the world? If the abominable crimes we see day by day in Gaza, which are only a magnification of what Israel has been carrying out for 76 years, it means that someone is allowing them.

It was the then British Empire that facilitated the access of these Zionist cells of Ashkenazi Jews back in the early 20th century to begin operating in a subjugated Palestine under Ottoman and then British rule.

Ireland and the Irish know only too well the fibre of the English and the advantages they have gained at the expense of the Irish betrayed by other corrupt Irish. It is centuries of fighting in which it has always been the corruption of Irish landowners or unscrupulous ones like Diarmait Mac Murchada (regarded as the King of traitors) who drove the wedge that betrayed the Catholic people for some bag of gold coins and a few leagues of land at the cost of starving everyone.

The list of traitors who turned their backs on their homeland and went to London is long but the true and pure Irish feeling that you read in writers like Wilde, Declan Hughes or Jane Casey, in the murals on the Falls Road in Belfast or in the songs of Dolores O' Riordan has always survived.

Today in Gaza, a Palestinian city demolished to dust by three times as many tons of explosives as have been used in the entire Russia-NATO-Ukraine war, we see similar wretches and heroes set against each other in the midst of a tragedy of epic proportions that thank heaven cannot be hidden. Just to see a woman or father weeping disconsolately with the shattered bodies of their young children or even babies being bombed or shot by Israeli soldiers, how do you think they might feel in the face of such brutality by the Zionist invaders?

How do you think the Zionists started in Palestine? By using the same formula and even setting up a shameless office to manage that dispossession against those “rats” as Winston Churchill's alcoholic swine used to call the Arabs. The British royal establishment was the cradle of such subjects. The so-called “Balfour Declaration” is the most obvious documentary evidence of this collusion. It is no coincidence that the English Protestants got on so well with the Zionists since both shared and still share, albeit in secret, this contempt for non-whites.

For King Edward III the Irish were like rats because of the large number of children a family could have. Similar sentiments were held by the likes of Moshe Dayan and “Bibi” Netanyahu himself.

As far as Ireland is concerned, it is a long road of hatred and bloodshed born of British ambitions to extend its dominions that stretched into the 20th century and after the Éiri Amach na Cásca with the massacre in April 1916 in North King Street in the city of Dublin, marked a turning point in the century that followed. Why couldn't the Irish create an independent republic? Thus the IRA was born in response to 800 years of British colonialism.

When we look at what is happening in Palestine and the suffering of its people there are several elements that touch on this and the Irish empathise with it. Also, although they had to tolerate British occupation disguised as a “protectorate” more briefly and were later betrayed by allowing Zionist gangs to take over their land by force, they are the victims of a colonial and racist state.

The litany for Irish independence has been long but the Palestinian one despite being only 76 years old has been monstrously brutal. There is no doubt that the overkill comes from considering the Arab-Palestinians inferior and different, which is why the Zionists have learned well from their British masters with a long history of oppressing and squeezing the colonies that the empire harvested.

For decades they tried to hide from public opinion the true nature of the Palestinian resistance, similar to what happened with the IRA and who better served those purposes than the journalists and media blatantly paid by MI5, as abominable as the traitors who wore the British uniform and pointed their guns or mercilessly tortured their own blood brothers.

From these quarters repeating day and night that the IRA was an Irish terrorist group that killed innocents for the sheer pleasure of doing so, resembles the same infamy and biased narrative that was also spread by the Irish media of the time against the Palestinians when that little man called Yasser Arafat in the 1960s organised the PLO precisely to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation. These peculiarities were understandable since the then pro-British government of Northern Ireland had very good relations with the Israelis and, as a result, also with the Mossad, which became entrenched with the guidance of MI6 in its intelligence services.

Today, 25 years after the Good Friday Agreement, the Foreign Office and the entire British establishment represented by Rishi Sunak refuse to allow investigations into the long list of crimes that were committed during the 30 years of struggle, and if you sift through the rubbish of those who cooperated with London, you are sure to find many advisers or advisers of dual Irish-Israeli nationality.

In the end, in the case of Ireland, it was not “Operation Chiffon” that brought peace or restored dignity to the Irish. That was just an orchestrated fix by the British intelligence agencies presented with great fanfare by the BBC, the window to the world of disinformation and intoxication in the service of MI6 and the local parochialists with MI5.

For the plight of the Palestinians and their just and long overdue right to a state that shelters and protects them from an aggressor such as the Israeli usurper has long been, they must not fall into the same trap. Perhaps the most deceitful of all is the disgraceful Irishman called Joseph (Joe) Robinette Biden who now claims to be seeking a state for the Palestinians when he continues to feed arms to the Tel Aviv regime. But they should also keep a close eye on the close traitors and those organisations such as the Arab League, which by the results it has shown on the subject, (there is no doubt that they are fingered by Arab intelligence agencies which in turn are in league with the enemy) resembles any European prostitutionist parliament, starting, of course, with the British one.
