I…I…is he actually legitimizing the Palestinian struggle and putting down the British one, or am I just misunderstanding his stance towards British colonialism in Ireland?
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!”
“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.”
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
