Ok, good then, you can explain what I asserted was wrong.
Did Great Britain confiscate land from the Irish natives in Northern Ireland during the 1700s?
Did Great Britain then settle the confiscated lands with British citizens, so that they would constitute a a majority of the people living in Northern Ireland?
Did Great Britain then deny basic civil rights to the Irish, take their personal property, outlaw the saying of the Catholic Mass, and place the Irish into labor for the benefit of the new landowners?
During the 1800s, during the famine, did the British export food from Ireland, while the Irish starved?
Was the Irish civil rights movement in the late 60s in Northern Ireland originally non-violent?
Did Ian Paisley form the Ulster Defence Committee and commence attacks on Irish civilians?
Did the Provisional IRA form thereafter?
Do you agree with the assessment of the wiki article that the Troubles in Ireland were never really religiously based, but were political in nature?
If you're not willing to respond, and you just want to say you know better because "I'm Irish Catholic by birth, and some of my family participated," then I just think you're full of shit, jumped in based on beliefs formed on misinformation skillfully planted by the British, and are now trying to save face without really engaging what I've said.
Because I am half-Irish, the son of a first-generation Irish American. My grandmother was 100% Irish, born in Ireland, which makes me eligible for an Irish passport. I've never known any Irish person who would tell the story any other way. I have visited my mother's family remaining in Cork, and let me tell you, they still HATE the British with a passion.
Walk into a pub in Killarney late at night, and you will still hear the anti-Brit anthems being sung. And they don't call them the "Brits." They call them the "F'ing Brits."
