It's the same with our absolutely abominable behaviour in Ireland.

Not for one minute do I condone violence but those in Governments down the ages discussing the Irish " problem " and condeming whats gone on there need to learn their Irish history.
Maybe they know it but chose to forget it with the words,, " but that happened ages ago "
Well thing I say to that is, to know where someone is coming from and to learn anything, we have to look at the past.
To sometimes know where someone is coming from we have to consider where they have been.
Their so called " great " Churchill and his black and tans in Ireland.
The Croke park massacre.
The potato famine. ( try and watch the hanging gale. The population dropped from 8 million (before the famine) to 5 million (after), resentments against the English grew eventually leading to outright rebellion and the formation of the IRA). Millions starved to death !

I could go on.
The British have behaved in an abominal way in Ireland down the ages !

Like I say, I don't condone the IRA but after studying Irish history and Britains huge part in it, I would very often sit back and think about all those condeming, " take a look at what your own country did ! Take that plank out of your eye "

Oh no, we are far from innocent.

Reminds me of my hero's words,,,

The ultimate measure of a man,
is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands in moments of challenge and controversy.

Martin Luther King jr.

they try to shut you up

Afraid they'd have to knock me out to do that
