Ireland is the European country with the most pro-Palestine support.

As a Brit, I wonder why.

@Guitarman123 Specifically Northern Ireland. It’s important to make the distinction.

@Nunlover It’s important to differentiate Belfast and Northern Ireland and the historical troubles from Dublin and Southern Ireland.

Belfast is/was the home of the Sinn Fein and the IRA who were notorious for bomb attacks on English locations throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s.
British forces both the regular army and the famous SAS under took many operations trying to destabilize the IRA during this period.
U2 song Sunday Bloody Sunday was written about a targeted bomb blast in Northern Ireland that killed many innocent bystanders.

Delores O’Reardon from The Cranberries who’s song Zombie talks about events that happened.
