For any Irish person who wants to understand the Jewish/Israeli perspective... Imagine the British showed up in Ireland and, instead of "merely" occupying and oppressing the locals, they drove most of them into exile. Then, after centuries of persecution in foreign lands, the exiled Irish return to their homeland. The British occupiers attempt genocide against the repatriated natives, resulting in a war that ends in British defeat and restoration of Irish sovereignty. Humiliated and incensed, the British hook up with Soviet KGB and invent a narrative that paints Irish as "foreign settlers" and Ireland as a natural and historic part of Britain. "This land was always part of Britain, in fact. These people who call themselves Irish are just delusional foreigners espousing fairy tales of a history that never happened and, if it did, it was our history anyway - not theirs. We're the REAL Irish people". That is what Arabs (Palestinians) are doing to Jews. That is what most Irish people are siding with.
