Victims of the Troubles

This is neither a unionist nor a nationalist account. I don't mind if Northern Ireland leaves the UK or stays in it. What I do mind is the whitewashing of history to turn terrorists – whether in the UVF or the IRA – into “heroes” or “patriots”. They were nothing of the sort.

@historyinaglass @gnickodonnell @Farelyboy The Palestinians will never, ever get an offer better than the one they had in 2000. That is reality.

Honest question for those attending demonstrations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza right now. Is your preference that the State of Israel ceases to exist, and that what is now Israel becomes part of a new state, along with the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, called Palestine?

@NcoastTim @grumpy_ted It looks like @grumpy_ted did not care for my calling him out for ‘liking’ tweets without chipping in himself. Seems he has a bit of a short fuse. Not sure, if I were in Gaza, I’d want people like him on my side…

@NcoastTim Feel free to chip in, @grumpy_ted. You’re clearly paying enough attention to ‘like’ what @NcoastTim has written, so you must have an opinion on this.

@NcoastTim Well, I didn't get your answer, so I guess you got more out of this exchange than I did.

@NcoastTim I'll answer your question if you answer mine. Why should any Israeli listen to you, since you've admitted that you don't know how to capture the Oct 7th attackers?

@VictimsTroubles They should stop murdering innocent children, do you not agree

@NcoastTim You didn't. I asked you why any Israeli should listen to you, since you admitted that you don't know how to capture the Oct 7th attackers, and you changed the subject.

@VictimsTroubles I already gave my answer

@NcoastTim So, instead of answering my question, you're just going to change the subject?

@VictimsTroubles So then your support the genocide, the slaughter of innocent your cool with 1000s of dead children, murdered from the sky, Israel is evil one of the most heinous regimes to exist like 90s Rwanda, 3rd Reich , Khmer rouge

@NcoastTim But if you don’t know how to capture the Oct 7th attackers, why demand that Israel declare a ceasefire? Unless you have a better suggestion for how to capture and punish Hamas, why should any Israeli listen to you? Why not demand that Hamas surrender instead?

@VictimsTroubles Dont know how to capture them but killing 1000s of innocents mostly children isn't the answer

@NcoastTim OK. How best to capture them? They haven’t handed themselves over. If they surrendered, then all the violence would stop immediately. It sounds like you agree that Hamas should surrender.

@VictimsTroubles Jail

@NcoastTim So what should the punishment be, then, for the people who carried out the Oct 7th attacks?

@VictimsTroubles No, the quickest way would be for Israel to stop slaughtering 1000s stop carpet bombing , stop bombing schools, hospitals, universities etc stop the genocide

@NcoastTim Yes, all sensible people want to see an end to the current conflict. The quickest and easiest way to ensure that would be for Hamas to surrender, don't you agree?

@VictimsTroubles Most probably don't have a definite answer for that and just want and end to the daily slaughter of 100s of innocent people

I don’t have a lot of followers on here, so feel free to retweet my original comment. I’m genuinely curious.

Look at this scumbag trying to minimise the IRA's cold-blooded murder of women by saying Jean McConville was just "one death". Remind him of... Joanne Mathers (aged 29) Caroline Moreland (34) Catherine Mahon (27) Margaret Ann Hearst (24) Gillian Johnson (21) Mary Travers (22)

The Sinn Féin PA Christy is referring to is Jason Lambert (his Twitter username is "jasonlambertSF"). Infamously, on the anniversary of the murder of Max Olorunda and Mark Cochrane, Lambert chose to commemorate the IRA man who killed them and ignore the victims altogether.

“It’s way easier to sing a rebel song about a united Ireland, than decide not to sing it in order to maybe have one.”

Gabriel Megahy was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison for trying to smuggle guns from America. He was one of the few IRA members to be completely honest about what the Belfast Agreement was. It wasn't a victory for the IRA. It was a defeat.
