I see what settler colonialism did to my people and our ancestral land on my mother's side.

@basilfawlty89 Can you elaborate what you mean please
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@nobodyishome of course. My mother's side is predominantly Irish.
The source of the conflict started when the English invaded our lands and settled Protestant English on our lands, while stripping us of our land, resources, etc. They also tried to ban our religion (Catholicism) and language (Gaelic).
While the Republic of Ireland got independence, through gerrymandering the North stayed under British control.
The indigenous Catholic Irish Gaels, protested for equal rights, they were met with violence. In return, we too turned violent and that's how the Troubles started. Tit for tat murder, bombings and more atrocities. There is blame on both the Nationalist and Loyalist sides of course.
To this day a lot of Belfast in Northern Ireland effectively is under Apartheid.
And now you know why we Irish support the Palestinian plight.

@basilfawlty89 what is Apartheid :)
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@nobodyishome segregation based on race, ethnicity or religion, where the dominant group has more rights than the group discriminated against. See South Africa before 1994, the West Bank under Israel, etc.

@nobodyishome put it this way, despite not being Catholic or even Christian myseld, because of my ethnicity, I would NOT go near Shankill Road in Belfast at night.
