Why do Irish people support Hamas/Palestine so much?

Tyson Fury (Irishman) just blamed his boxing loss on the war….it’s boxing for crying out loud.
I read about all these Irish parliamentary actions condemning Israel and supporting Palestine.
I also have some Irish friends and all they post on social media is support for Palestine and bad things about Israel.
Why is this? Am I missing a cultural pull here?

Maybe the hundreds of years Ireland was “occupied” by England. The oppressed syndrome.

I can see why they would have sympathy for terrorists who attack a ruling nation that has a different culture and religion.

Yeah I get the history of suppression but I would think it’s the other way. That they would be protecting Israel for being attacked by forces around them.

Is the way of 'their people'.

The Irish are pretty much the Palestinians of the British Isles. They committed terrorist attacks in the UK to try to drive them off the island. Pretty Muslim-y

I think he was referencing the Ukrainian war… you know since he was fighting a Ukrainian fighter

The Irish supported Palestine until some of their spies used fake Irish passports
Biblically speaking, Israel should not have a country. Britain helped to make Israel nation - and making yet another religious war.

There's a lot of parallels between The Troubles and the intifada- especially in imagery/optics. Think masked teens throwing rocks at soldiers and armored vehicles.
There's also a very old link between the IRA and PLO going back to the training camps in N Africa. It was the IRA who taught PLO how to build bombs and snipe from the trunks of cars.
Both fought the British.
But what you are seeing is this history expressed through Sinn Fein. If you support Sinn Fein you are sympathetic to the Palestenians just like if you are a Democrat here you automatically do the same. It isn't an informed o ersonal belief, it is a conditioned group think.

Irish Republicanism has a long history of alliance with radical socialist movements and other terror orgs
Rightly or wrongly, now it’s just a perpetually victimhood movement with a collective hand out

Why can’t people support both Israel and Palestine and be against Hamas? Not fricking hard to understand, but these are dumbass people

How does anyone support Palestine?
Posted on 5/18/24 at 8:08 pm to fastlane
If not for the mainstream media, so would most Americans.

tOT has gone soft. It used to be one of the sub-forums that didn't just accept an OP with no quote or link even if it reinforced their opinions. Here we have a poster that deserves the "who the fook is this guy" Conner meme putting out something completely misleading with no quote or link and other than one person that pointed out the error everyone just drives on like it is fact.
His statement was about the Russo-Ukrainian war and had zero to do with Isreal or Palestine.

Because they watch the news and don’t think about stepping into a library with historical references.

Do you know anything about The Troubles?
