The auncient and mixt Irish are not only great soldiers but allso warriors; and the Englished are more inclyned to other imployments than to warre: As for their quality or nobility, the question is easily resolved, considering the originall of every sorte…
As well in this, by “mixt-Irish” - we’re talking still about a Catholic Northwestern European peoples and still there’s distinctions outlined by blood.

Imagine how horrified the Gaels of the 1600s would be to see El Ogro de Los Blanchardstown spewing Anti-Catholic rhetoric, LGBT mutant nonsense and shilling to import more Ogres

The IRA says that if mainland Britain falls to a Nazi invasion, and the British make a last stand in Ulster, "we shall have no hesitation in accepting the assistance of German troops to force the British garrison to its senses" IRA "War News", 9 Nov 1940.…
Marxist Historian Brian Stanley, posted above, quoting IRA War News, the IRA’s main publication during WW2

In quote he states the Ulster-Presbyterians were strongly “Philo-Semitic”.

This was contrasted with the IRA and Sinn Féin at the time who were heavily Anti-Semitic and collaborating with the Germans. In quote by Hanley in pic, it’s noted that the IRA were condemning an influx of “Jewish refugees” and “unspecified numbers of Albanian, Abyssinian, Mongolian and Tartar refugees”

The new arrivals were putting people out of work, meant to have exploited the natives and IRA War news state Belfast had fallen to international Jewry due to the influx.

You can find some IRA War News posts by searching in channel or clicking post on reply and scrolling up/down.
"Our only possible perfection consists in the development of the Gaelic nature we have inherited from our forefathers. Centuries of real development, of true civilisation, of noble fidelity to all the ideals that men can worship, have fixed forever the national character of Ireland; and if we be not true to that character, if we be not genuine Irishmen, we can never be perfect men."

That time in 1989 when Jewish Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter released his novel "Laura", featuring this sex scene set in Leinster House

He also wrote a book in 1979 called “Family Planning - Irish Style” to satirise Catholic sexual morality & mocking the then proposed “1979 Family Planning Bill” which would require people get medical prescriptions for condoms with only a certain number allowed to be purchased per month

He was the one who proposed the gay marriage referendum in 2013 to be held in 2015 & drafted the Child & Family Relationship Bill which allows gay people to adopt kids and is now being used for provisions related to surrogacy

He also made it easier for foreigners to get passports,giving out 69,000 in 2011 and starting ‘citizenship ceremonies’ where once a year the Gov live-streams them handing out foreigners passports & celebrating

He also wanted to give €10 million of taxpayer money to buy weapons for Israel in 2012.

He was kicked out of Gov via corruption allegations in 2014 by Maurice McCabe

Btw at the end of this clip when Hanley says that 'Jim Larkin was the only one who opposed Oliver J Flanagan's anti-semitism' - This was Jim Larkin's son with debate posted below.

Both him and his son were actually in the Dáil at this time, with Big Jim Larkin passing away in 1947 but it was his son that went against Oliver this one time in debate below - Big Jim seemed to have other thoughts on this matter.

Big Jim Larkin himself ran a cartoon aimed at a particular group of Jewish immigrants which were described as "foreigners masquerading under Irish names", the cartoon used stereotypical physical characteristics, as well as mock-immigrant pronunciation and "ikey", said to be regarded as a derogatory nickname for Jews (source). Larkin denied he was anti-Semitic and claimed he was attacking Jews who pretended to be Irish to better exploit their workers and customers.

also:

As such one would expect some sort of reaction, but this was not the case and he received no rebuttal in the Dáil, with the only noticeable reaction from another politician being James Larkin Junior, who condemned the ‘anti-Jewish dope’ at a local Labour party meeting soon afterwards.

"The revival of art and of national life that Dublin has seen in the first two decades of the twentieth century has been extraordinary. Those who have lived through the period scarcely realize it. A native theatre, a native literature, and a new courage of…
"Many of the important contributors to the national conversation were characterised by a marked idealism but also by a conviction that ideas could become a basis for practical action; a deep investment in the future was born out of an intense engagement with the past..[…]…

If anything characterises the era it is the belief that the gap could be closed between ideas and actions, between the aims of artists and the ideas of the wider community.”

Liam Kennedy disgustingly downplays the Irish Famine in this article, so as to not offend the Ukrainians™️

Liam does this from the “Irish Times”, the same publication that didn’t hire a Catholic editor until 1982 and called for the executions of the men of 1916.

Given Liam’s history of attacking Irish nationalism like his article on the centenary of 1916 titled “1916 Rising is something to be angry about, not celebrated” - you can see he fits right into the Irish Times tradition of subversion.

This is what passes for a “historian” in Ireland.

"The period of Irish cultural superiority over the Continent and over Britain may be conventionally dated from the foundation of the monastic university of Clonmacnoise in Ireland in A.D 548 to the foundation of the Irish monastery of St. James at Ratisbon circa A.D 1090

Throughout those five and a half centuries, it was the Irish who imparted culture and the English and the Continentals who received it."

"The literary studies which Christian liturgical requirements kept alive everywhere during the post-Hellenic interregnum bore fruit in Ireland in a greater mastery of the Latin Classics than was retained by the Christian Church in the ci-devant Roman provinces on the Continent where Latin remained the vernacular language. More remarkable still, the Irish ecclesiastical scholars contrived to recapture a command of the Greek language and literature,at a time when the knowledge of Greek was extinct in Latin Christian countries that were much less remote"
