    One of the biggest cultural shocks I had as a german was traveling to Ireland because their museums aren’t like ours.

    You go to a museum in germany that deals with violence and, correctly, they’re all like “this sucked shit and should never be done because it was a crime against humanity”

    You go to a museum in Ireland that deals with violence and they’re like “We shot 10.000 english people who all deserved it and if we didn’t you wouldn’t be reading this. If they ever try anything again we’ll shoot 100.000 of them. Fuck em!”

      Here is an own. Celtic FC was fined 8500 pounds, by EUFA, for Green Brigade fans flying Palestinian flags at their match vs Israel team Hapoel Be’er Sheva. Green Brigade launched an online campaign, “Match the fine for Palestine.” They raised 176,000 pounds, which were donated to a couple of organizations in Gaza.

      Almost two years have passed since the donation was handed over. Although the money raised has and continues to make a difference, plans have been at work in the background to cement a stronger, lasting legacy. 2019 brings the official launch of Aida Celtic, a football academy representing Aida Camp. Managed locally by the Lajee Center and supported internationally by the Green Brigade, it is hoped that Aida Celtic will benefit from similar levels of support and generosity afforded to the campaign which lay the foundations for its formation.

      That’s what us loony leftists call solidarity, motherfucker

    “The situation in Palestine is a classic example of land that is being taken from people who lived there for generations. It chimes in with the course of Irish history.”

    Some zionist on tiktok was posting about how the Irish and Palestinians did not fight the Nazis in WW2. It was infuriating.

      You wanna know who also technically didn’t fight the NAZIs? Israel… (you can argue the colonial government under the British but that would also include Palestine…)

      I could be commenting at a straw man you made up, but still, stupid

        Considering Ben Gurion didn’t want holocaust survivors to come to settle Israel because he considered them subhuman, and he thought that Israel should only welcome young settlers who didn’t get sent to the camps, yeah, I wouldn’t put it past them to be like Mark Wahlberg and say “if I was there I would simply not get holocausted”

        I would argue the colonial government fighting the Nazis certainly gave good reason for Palestinians to not flight the Nazis

      All history is up for grabs now. You can say any idiot thing you want to support your point, whether it’s based in any sort of reality or not, and liberal shitheads will nod along knowingly.

    I once saw a Zionist — one who is actually self-taught in the Irish language — talk about how “the Irish left is Europe’s worst” because of their “seething hatred of Israel” or whatever else, and I was just like…

    A wall in Northern Ireland

    A wall in Palestine

    Anglos and refusing to take responsibility for colonialism name a better duo.
