Predictably, flagging up this bad history on twitter prompted a number of Irish Republcans to call me out as a “Brit” They cannot challenge facts so they engage in tribal hated of folks like me who might wear an Ulster Rugby shirt on my X profile and then insist that we’d all be far happier in a United Ireland. Whatever… The tweet that enraged me is below and comes from a Natonalist Irish Pro Palestinian account.
Some Turkish soccer players had a match in Dublin and took to the pich wearing shirts that said “stop crimes against humanity” a reference to Gaza. In Europe’s most rancid anti semitic sewer that played well.
But those who know a bit about history might know that 110 years ago, the Turks killed 80% of the 1.5 millon Armenians living in Turkey, men women and kids. That was a real genocide not like the Gaza “genocide” where he population actually goes up! 51 years ago Turkey invaded and annexed half of another country, Cyprus. It really is an occupying power.
And this year we remember the 100th anniversry of the Diyarbakır massacre when Turkey killed 16,000 kurdish civilians. It has not stopped. Even to this day in both Turkey and Syria, Turkey kills Kurdish men, woman and children.
Only Ireland could be so blinded by Jew hatred as to hold up Turks as those to lecture anybody about crimes against humaniy.
