We have an intimate knowledge of pain, despair, dislocation, dispossession, you name it. Probably ethnic cleansing would have definitely covered the term, but they said it was our fault that the potato famine failed. Well, guess what? Ethnic cleansing and genocide is being enacted by the Israeli regime with the full backing of America, who provides nearly 95 percent of armaments to Israel. The U.S. and Germany provide that much. Italy, France, and England have also been guilty of providing components. And I know Ireland has also been involved with the economics of the EU, so we are also caught up in this. I say shame on our government that they are not calling out this genocide. The history speaks the truth, as Norman Finkelstein says.

The Israelis know well what they have done.

    When I first read that headline I thought this was going to be a Zionist extremist kind of thing blaming Irish people for supporting Palestinian “terrorists”. Glad I was wrong. 🙂

    so using the phrase “behind it” is less of the “organising it” and more of the “we have lived experience and condemn” type of it.? confuZzling headline.
