Palestine has never been “free” of Jews. Local Arabs lived peacefully before 1948 without their own state, they were so content they never asked for one before…. and when the United Nations offered them their own state in 1948 they said "NO" preferring to drive the Jews into the sea. Borders change. Only the sheep listen to antisemites.
He is an idiot that can't even tell when Palestine ever came to existence. He does not even know there was no country called Palestine ever in history and that this is a false islamic movement to try to destroy the Jewish nation. There were 6 nations that attack Israel when they came back for the 3rd time in history, none of those islamic nations was the fake Palestine nation because it never existed! They are ARABS from Egypt and Jordan, Arafat, an Egyptian was the first self-proclaimed Palestinian in history, before him, the only Palestinians were Jews after the Romans branded Judea as Syria Palestina. This fool is an antisemite, ignorant and very dangerous for supporting an islamic terror organisation and demonising the Jewish people. WE THE IRISH PEOPLE STAND WITH OUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Irish people always fascinate me! The empathetic people of Ireland naturally seek justice and support the oppressed! Lots of love to Ireland! from Iran!
Dear Sur0ush, there is an Irish surname that sounds like yours - Merrigan. Are we not all brothers and sisters? Love back to all you feisty young Iraqui thinkers from Ireland.
Dear Catrina, the similarities are wonderful indeed! My surname is associated with the word Mehr which means love and kindness, It also refers to a messenger who after some time, became a god in myths coming to Europe as Mythra, associated with the Sun! or Apollo in some places which is related to Abraham in the Semite culture! The event of Yalda, which we Iranians celebrate on the longest night of the year, the last day of autumn, is believed to be a celebration of light winning against darkness! This Mythric celebration came to be Christmas when "Merry Christmas" is the sentence commonly used!@@catrinamcdermott4211
I heard a theory that the Irish (the Gaels) might come from an Iranian tribe mentioned by Pliny the Elder 2000 years ago, that tribe were called the Gaeli! The Gilaki are their modern descendents. Saludos from an Irishman in the north of Argentina!
In Iran, there is a province called Guilan/Gilan that is known for its beautiful sights of the Hyrcanian forests. The natural scenery in Guilan is similar to many parts of Europe. Moreover, the similarities between the Hyrcanian forests in Iran and the Hercynian forest in Europe provide further evidence of the relatedness!@@CharlieOBrienTF
Love the Irish people. My mother is part Irish, her family was sent to Barbados as salves during the Cromwell uprising. The humanity of this guy is beautiful ❤
Antisemites/anti Zionists are the least likely people to understand Jewish emotions and spiritual tie to their Holy Land Of Israel. And they’re the ones who comment the most 😂

@@jackietreehorn5561 Spare us the crocodile tears. Andalusia and Israel are two territories taken back from Muslims. Islam thinks it's supreme among the world’s religions and Jews are not equal to Muslims under Islamic law. And yet they now have self determination, autonomy and control in their ancient homeland, a homeland once ruled by Muslims. Arabs slaughtered half a million Arabs in Syria recently.
My family in Ireland 🇮🇪 always will support the Palestinian's right to peace and land. Our struggles are different, but similar enough to sympathize. May Palestinians find hope and peace, now and forever.
See that doesn't make any sense. That's the same as supporting the British in Northern Ireland to have their own land there. Irish people supporting the Arabs in this conflict, is beyond absurd. They better than anyone should understand the struggle of Israël trying to stave off the Arabs, it's the same as the Irish struggle against the British.
@@BamBamGT1You are very much mistaken by inferring our struggle is similar to Israel’s situation with the Palestinians. The Israeli regime denies Palestinian the same rights as Israeli citizens, deny them to return to their own land. What is this Jews trying to stave off Arabs? Jews, Arabs and Christians lived together in Palestine in peace until the European Zionists arrived. They have completely destroyed Israeli as recent events have proved strongly. Anyone with a shred of common sense would know the Israeli government don’t give two hoots about their civilians. And of course need we say more about their view of Palestinians.
@@BamBamGT1 We see the Israelis as equivalent to the brits, colonisers basically who took land that did not belong to them. If I am not mistaken initially the irish state did support the creation of a Jewish state after world war 2.
I always have respect for Irish people. According to Native American& Mexican, many Irish people who immigrated from Ireland have helped them during their struggle against other European settlers.
The Native Americans in particular are very close to Irish hearts, none more than the Choctaw people who sent aid to us during the famine when they had only recently suffered through the trail of tears. Such selfless acts will never be forgotten ❤
Also 1) 16?00s Caribbean joint African & Irish revolts vs. English slavery. 2) Early 1800s, Irish-Chilean leader Bernardo O’Higgins lead Chile to independence. 3) 1960s & later-- Argentine-Cuban leader Ernesto Che Guevara y Lynch-part Irish &’Basque.
Except for the Irish catholic church, they treated the native Americans terribly. Well to be honest they didn't treat their own in Ireland great either.

Thank you Ireland for speaking out the truth. Shame on the Arab leaders for staying silent when they have so much power to do more. Greed,power and money is not going to the grave with you but integrity and morals will all be something you can die with pride.
@@jackie338 Hamas was a product of Israeli occupation. Continuously scapegoating Hamas without acknowledging the root cause of the problem in Palestine is disgusting. End decades of illegal occupation and daily attack and murder of Palestinians in their own lands by Israel. The fact that Israel police and settlers killed over 248 Palestinians alone this year before this started and hardly anyone talks about it as though their lives are not mentioning. Then people like you bring in Hamas like they started everything when in fact it was Israel decades before Hamas formed! Anyone that thinks subjugating anyone in their own lands like as they even called them animals and always justifying with Hamas well they are the ones that make me sick.
Don't believe all the shit you hear, Ireland is one of the most racist hypocritical nations on earth! Inherently racist to the core with racism not being prohibited!
@@meanmr.mustard Funny how you see Palestinian but just in Gaza. In the West Bank theres no Hamas government. Why is still injustice committed there? Why are there 700k illegal settlers? I know you never heard about then Hilltop youth burned a Palestinian baby in Duma. If you sane in the faculty, you know the common denominator is Israel. Created by violence and maintained by violence.
He is a very powerful speaker, he talks with conviction. I have a lot of respect for him, and strongly agree with his opinions about this issue. I am thankful for his solidarity with the Palestinian people.
with 1.6 Billion Muslims and Irland Immigration policy, it is about time to let Palestinians immigrate to Irland, you are sympathetic to them, you already meet their Hamas leathers so welcome them,
Well Netanyahu told everybody to fund them so he must be an even bigger fan, living space was wrong for germany, right for israel, genocide wrong for germany, right for israel , you really really do sound like Nazis it's uncanng
Very interesting. My ancestors suffered in Ireland for what the British government did and I’m reading books to find out more and learn. Unfortunately Welsh schools (when I was younger in 80s) didn’t teach us this history. I realise now why though! UK wanted to keep us ignorant as to the real causes.
The most revealing thing i have read this past ten years. See Micheal moore's documentarys to see how the upper echelons are dumbing down education to make us more manageable, in the US and Britain.
They did a lot to the Welsh as well and to the English peasant. The evil power hungry people of this world who abuse others is in every society in the world as far as I can see.
Although he doesn't mention it, the struggle for Irish freedom at the turn of the 19th century was closely studied by other such movements-notably in China (Mao studied Michael Collins and the guerrilla style warfare of the Irish Revolution) but so did Ho Chi Minh. It's nice to know that our struggle and suffering went on to inspire others to take on the behemoth states of both Britain and the US. And, of course, the Irish people were opposed to slavery in the US before this and actually brought Frederick Douglas to Dublin to speak because the Irish saw the plight of slaves of African origin and the Irish slaves and Irish oppression generally. We have been making these connections for a very long time.
Actually it was Daniel O Connell that brought F Douglas to Ireland to ask the Irish who where going to emigrate to America to stand in solidarity with the African American community in America, unfortunate they didn’t and the Irish who emigrated to America attacked and killed them.
Just to clarify, saying the Irish were slaves is a common white supremacist. My people were not chattel slaves, they were considered indentured servants who were forced to work the land until it was payed off. BIG DIFFERENCE between the two
I do have a graduate degree in history so I do not bandy about terms like slavery lightly. In fact, some Irish people were indentured (as were, by the way, some-very few- Black people). But many Irish people were, in fact, kidnapped and sold into actual chattel slavery and worked the fields right next to African slaves. These Irish people were sent to the Caribbean and it was called "Barbadosing the Irish." It was done particularly during Cromwellian times (but also other times) in order to steal land but also just because the Irish were considered an "inferior race" akin to Africans. Pictures of the "debased Irish" who were said to "look like Africans" ran in English newspapers. Here is an entire video on this subject by a young African American man who has just found this out himself. ua-cam.com/video/icXUl14zjX8/v-deo.html @@rowanmurphy4986
We were not enslaved, we were made indentured servants, there's a big difference. Indentured servitude is still evil, but chattell slavery is far, FAR worse
As I have said to others. I do have a graduate degree in HISTORY. Irish people were primarily indentured in the United States (aka "the Colonies"). But they were also sometimes enslaved. But it was in the Caribbean they were enslaved on a much larger scale. They were quite literally kidnapped from Ireland and "Barbadosed., which is what this enslavement was called. Here is an entire video made by a young African American man when he discovered this ENSLAVEMENT. ua-cam.com/video/icXUl14zjX8/v-deo.html The problem with people who have not actually studied history carefully is that they think that the enslavement of Africans in the Americas was the first and most egregious enslavement. It was certainly egregious, but so were many forms of slavery throughout history and it was absolutely not the former. Do you know who the Mamluks were, for instance? Do you know Muslim laws regarding slaves? No! BEcause you do not know the history of slavery. And just by the by, Africans were also sometimes (rarely) indentured. in the Colonies. And indentured people were often not actually allowed to buy their freedom. So the history of both slavery and indenturing (and serfdom, and villein-ship and, and, and) is complex and interwoven and I REALLY wish that people who know virtually nothing about any of it would just stop talking, please.@@tedthecommenter5364
The Muslims of the Middle East have oppressed Christians, Jews and Muslim minorities out of existance. Massacred on multiple occasions. The Muslims are occupying the land where people of all Faiths used to live. Now only Muslims are allowed to live there. That is greed! That is a lack of humanity. Muslims of the Middle East are worse than the English where to the Irish. If Israel wasn't there the Palestinians were only another Muslim Minority subjugated by some other Muslim Majority and nobody would care. As nobody cares about the many atrocities the Muslims in the Middle East commit every year, towards each other and other Faiths.
Ireland was one of the most anti-semitic nations left in Europe after WW2. Probably the legacy of Roman Catholicism. Hamas represents extreme right wing patriarchy and religious fundamentalism... similar to ISIS... and they too torture and saw off heads with a knife... sick sadists... yet a bigot such as yourself finds comradeship with them. Sick and evil.
Srsly.. Jewish lands and people have been occupied for 2000 years that lead us to shit loads of further misery, the Arabs still have 95% of historical Jewish-Arab lands in hand and we are the occupiers? 😂
Need I remind you that Ireland was neutral during World War II. The free world was fighting a mass murderer and your guy, Eamon de Valera, signed the book of condolence when the mass murderer Hitler's died and personally visited German Ambassador Eduard Hempel to pay his respect.
@@cosimodirondo972 Need i remind you that it was the Americans that cried "We must spread freedom to socialist countries" yet prop up dictatorships like Pinochet? Almost as if nearly every country the Americans got involved to overthrow the government gained more problems in the end. Or how about when the US worked with the Sicilian/Italian mafia to facilitate the invasion of Italy in WW2.
Did you know that the Black & Tans were sent to palestine some time after they were active in Northern Ireland? And of course, while in Palestine, BBC/Britain reported them as being an Irish auxiliary force, with no mention of them being British.

Yes. Even though, we Finns have gone through the same sort of nightmare of 700 years; that was over 2 centuries ago, and our governments, past and present (and even many people) have blissfully forgotten it.

Richard Boyd Barrett "REMEMBER THIS NAME" as he will go down in history for his humanity and compassion. When FREEDOM of Palestine is WON - Richard will be remembered as a few of the brave Politician's that stood up when it mattered. The UK, US and AUST governments will hang their collective heads in shame.
he's a gobshite silent on the iirish being dispossessed by germanic and bitish bankers through the courts ..the Good Friday Peace Agreement is just new knickers on a prostitute .. it was vital to give the native irish in the northern bit time to breed and reestablixh their culture ..
What comes around most certainly goes back around. This genocide against Palestinians today has hit a cord with the young generation all over the globe. They will be the revolution of tomorrow. The sad part of all this is, the wait, the patience, the bare minimum sacrifices, and all the loss of innocent lives. It will be them to hang their hats and hold their heads high. I will be looking down one day in hooray. God Willing.
I'm Salvadoran and as Central American I support Palestine cause. El Salvador and Honduras have many Palestine's that moved to our lands when the Ottoman Empire in Israel. The president of El Salvador is Palestine decency, his grandfather came to my country around 1948. I'm pro Palestine, not because my president is half Palestine, but because with this war, I found out how Palestine people have suffered for 75 years up to the present. Palestine will be free!!!!!!
I'm a lifelong shinner, I've been in the party longer than E o'broin and Mary lou. I know the party inside out. I know how important palestine is to normal members. The last few weeks have made me very worried about SF. I believe that SF don't want to rock the boat until they are in gov, but their dilution of policy on palestine does worry me. RBB knocks this on the head. Hopefully having them in government would be a positive pressure. I'm also worried about the influence of zionism on the American tech companies in Ireland. The zionist movement is incredibly strong. These are testing times.
I absolutely fell in love with Ireland and Scottlqnd especially the fans at Celtic Glasgow when I was at their ground watching a game and seeing all those Palestinian flags. Ireland is the land or honor, of free men and justice. May God protect Ireland , Scotland and Glasgow and the inspirational MP of Ireland.
Celtic is a Scottish Football Club whose supporters identify with the Irish struggle but Scotland in itself is a left leaning nation and most of the people support Palestine. From a Glaswegian
@@AMA-Online I know mate, I’ve witnessed love for Palestinians in Ireland as well as Glasgow and Scotland and I thank those noble people for their sense of justice and peace. Unfortunately that’s not the case here in Germany…
@@AMA-Onlinein Glasgow anyway. In Edinburgh I imagine there are a lot of people who support isreal et Al..seems like two different worlds between the two .maybe I am judging harshly but Glasgow felt like home as did galicia in Spain and Edinburgh seemed like Londonish...I wouldnt even say English cos even other parts of England they seem decent people but London is quare.
Absolutely spot on Richard, one of the most forgotten parts of the War of Independence was what Michael Collins referred to as "our refusal". Without trade unions and public bodies supporting anti-colonial measures such as refusal to transport British soldiers and munitions the chances of Britain calling a truce would have been drastically reduced !!
Ireland: Homelessness. Families homeless as Greedy Landlords rule. No rent Controls. No social Council homes built for our citizens. Boyd Barett: I dont care. I care about a far off 80 year old war, and hate the Jews of Israel. I am a disgrace to Socialism in Ireland, but I dont care. The fools voted me in to a cushy job.
I've listened to excerpts of TD Barrett's speeches on RTE (from Seattle where I live) for a while but regretfully have not taken trouble to delve further into the politician. I must say that I've never been as inspired and made proud of my Irish upbringing (I'm from Northern Ireland). I've started to share this interview with family and friends. Thanks to Middle East Eye for sharing this.
Why don’t Israeli Jewish people and sympathisers feel the same thing after they went through the holocaust? Odd, they decided to become monsters themselves
That's like the same as: If Ireland united, and the British people living there revolted, you'd pick the side of the British to have their own state in Ireland. It makes no sense for Irish people to support the Palestinians.
@@neasa4222 How come? The Irish and the Jews have similar histories. Both had their ancestral lands conquered for centuries, the Irish by the British, the jews by the Arabs. Both gained independence last century. Both still had part of their ancestral lands conquered by the British/Arabs. The main difference is that Israel in 1967 took those lands from Egypt/Jordan and that GB still controls Northern Ireland. So yeah, seems to me like 'the Palestinians' in the story of Ireland, would be the British living in Northern Ireland. And to have a similar situation you'd need Ireland to unite, and the British in Northern Ireland revolting against it.
Such a great interview! I didn't know this Irish politician so I was glad to see the interview. I always had a sympathy for the Irish people and the country, this year I was very fortunate to visit for the Ge first time Irland, incredibly beautiful and very friendly people! I am originally from Venezuela so it was a dream come true! I think 75 years are enough, peace and justice for Palestine! Peace for all of us!
I'm from Indonesia, and I'm no stranger to the name Richard Boyd Barrett... his courage is often discussed in the media in our country... there's nothing else to say other than our thanks for his courage. defend the rights of the Palestinian people... 🇮🇩❤️🇮🇪❤️🇵🇸
Ireland was England’s first colony. The Irish heart beats with Palestine. England had an empire so vast that the sun did not set upon, the Irish say: it’s because God does not trust the British in the Dark!
That was amazing, my first time to hear Richard Boyd Barrett and won't be the last. With you here 100%, also with the Palestinians and everyone who wants to live in peace. Its only the rulers who want war because they profit from it, but we the regular people, suffer from it, and they, the ruling elite, don't give a damn!
What an interesting world we live in, where a person like this (Honest, objective and sticking to his words) is the exception in the public arena, rather than the norm :/
It must be extremely hard. There are a handful of them they spend their whole lives fighting and it must be dispiriting ..its also very hard to remove anyone corrupt like Micheal Martin who was found guilty of corruption was still. A td in my area a few years ago. Like there is no court that will punish these people if they're found to be a lair be corrupt etc. If they promise one policy in their campaign theres nothing that holds them to their promises no legal contract and no oversight ..the best that happens is they resign with a fat pension..it should be considered treason in a country where the people are sovereign to screw the people over.
What a sane and brilliant voice! So good to hear this interview, Thank you MEE, and Richard Boyd Barett, from a longtime anti-zionist Jew. Free Palestine!!!
years ago in 2013, I went to Ireland for a short trip. I am very impressed by Irish people and I love their beautiful landscape! I look forward to visiting Ireland again. and I hope the whole world could contribute to the tourism business of Ireland and support their products. No justice, No Profit!!! No Justice, No Peace.
I am a 4th generation New Zealand citizen of Irish descent. I love our Maori culture and people here so much and embrace the culture. When I realised what Palestine is going through I followed my heart not knowing much history but colonialism is always unfair and inflicted upon the people in such gross manner. Racism makes my blood boil and my stomach turn. I’m only just realising how Irish I am despite not being there. I actually have been struggling with the fact that I’m so very passionate about justice. I feel connected by this because I truly had no idea that Irish people felt the same. Justice for Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤ I will always stand up for fairness.

40:40 Yes. In Finland (apart from some individual volunteers), there is no widespread need to involve ourselves with this fight, amongst the politicians or the people, either; thankfully, as that would go directly against our national interests. The problem, and the pitfall I wish the Finnish government didn’t step into, was the paranoia-fueled need to join NATO: ”Now that Russia invaded Ukraine, it’s only a matter of time, before they’ll invade Finland. Better join NATO! 😱”, which is simply not true. Russia has had no need to invade Finland, in decades. If they wanted to invade us, they would have done so, already. Even before the Winter War, Stalin tried the diplomatic approach, before invasion. Invading Finland was basically the last resort for him. Unfortunately, our then-foreign minister, Eljas Erkko, with his uncompromising stubbornness, left Stalin with no choice, but to invade Finland, for a buffer-zone between Leningrad and Nazi Germany. In the Continuation War, we were the aggressor, trying to create ”Greater Finland”. Russia has never wanted to invade Finland. Before the 1808-1809 War, it was mostly Sweden that invaded Russia, using us Finns, as cannon fodder (although, we were the elite forces, ”Hakkapeliitat”); and, after 1809, there have only been those 2 wars between Russia and Finland, the Winter War and the Continuation War, which, as discussed, were the fault of the Finnish Government. In 1808, Tsar Alexander I was pressured, by Napoleon, to invade Sweden, through Finland; and that war turned out to be a major blessing for us, as it brought us autonomy, under Russia, and freedom not seen here, in 700 years. Of course, the Finnish Government is fully on board with the EU’s sanctions against Russia, but they’ve always kissed the EU’s butt, anyways 😒.
Ireland didn't stand up to Nazi Germany. Ireland's head of state, Eamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death and personally visited German Ambassador Eduard Hempel to pay his respect.
The very best man - representing neutrality and its provenance in Ireland - against the Israeli apartheid regime - great interviewer too 👏👏👏thank you Richard Boyd Barrett TD - Irish parliamentarian
commitment, to be sincerely engage, to understand the situation, to travel to Middle East etc make this man a fantastic spokesman for the palestinian people .. respect
He should put the same support to the people who voted him in considering only for them he wouldn't be there and yet he won't meet them to discuss what is going on with all these refugees, fake refugees and illegal unvetted males being put into their community. Parents who are concerned for the safety of their families and him and the rest of the government calling them nazis, far right and racists. But yet there will never be any of them put in his area only in the poorer areas of Ireland. Over a month ago when posie parker was in dublin on her tour , let women speak. There he was stuck in the middle of all the trans who were counter protesting and paul Murphy as well, no support for women's rights in ireland from any of these people. And tonight the communities in Dublin held a vigil for peace and not one politician turned up or anyone that is affected by this conflict. But boyd barrett decided to hold a protest today of all days, it seems he loves Palestinians more than irish people. But i hear he hates the jews and Israel.
I am from Vancouver,Canada and i wanted to say the the Legacy Bill that was just passed by the British Parliament shows what the British Gov't thinks about the Irish People and the Unionists.I hope this Bill shows the Unionists that The British Gov't don't give a Damn about them or the Republicans.The British Gov't got Contempt for all Irish People Republicans and Unionists. A United Ireland will solve this problem.
follow him! he has many, many inspirational and eloquent speeches, never afraid to stand up for his beliefs. Even the party he stands in 'People before Profit' sums his values up.
My mother was born and raised in Belfast Northern Ireland. I have cousins who were imprisoned in Long quiche for their activity in the ira. That family history is one of the things that radicalized me very young. I immediately saw the parallels between the Irish struggle and the Palestinian people back in the 80s . I was unfamiliar with the speaker until this interview and I'm grateful for it. Claire daily is one of my heroes. Thank you for this interview

This conflict is not just a conflict of two nations it divided the whole world into 2 group. Their is no third, one who says neutral is hypocrite. This is interesting, it's not only dictated by religious sentiments but also by commercial interests. Unfortunately the balance is against the poor and powerless. But they don't know that Almighty is with those who are steadfast with patience.
The Irish remained neutral during World War II, when the Nazis killed millions of people. Ireland's head of state, Eamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death and personally visited German Ambassador Eduard Hempel to pay his respect.
The world is not divided when it comes to who is the illegal occupier. Even the US for many decades says occupation and illegal settlements are obstacles to peace. This 'conflict' is pretty straightforward.

7:20 "Our aim is to create a loyal little Jewish Ulster in the middle east to guard against a potentially hostile sea of Arabism" - Ronald Storrs (first British Governor General of Jeruselum, 1936) This is a must watch interview. Thank you.
Spot on - lots of smaller nations like Australia, which are peace-loving for the most part, get dragged into USA or NATO sanctioned wars like the Iraq, Syrian and Afghanistan wars, or earlier into the Vietnam war. Even the once fiercely independent Australian Labor Party has a PM in Anthony Albanese who is blindly following the anti-China rhetoric of the dominant militaristic leaders in the USA.
Australia economy and Military is tied with US and Europe . Australia is nothing without US and Europe protection and economy . So Australia should stop acting as if it’s relevant without USA and Europe 😂
Really really enjoyed this excellent interview. The interviewee was so good, allowing Boyd Barrett to open up about the core values of his politics and world-view. 10/10
25:11 No. Westminster didn’t even give Ireland Home Rule after making a lot of promises to the contrary during World War I and many Irish soldiers having died for that very thing. Ireland is also Britain’s closest neighbour geographically and thus the British would never let us go for fear of what message that would send to countries of the Empire. Ireland had little choice but to secede by force. Otherwise, we would be economically dependent on London today, in the same manner as Northern Ireland, Wales or much of England.
Fantastic interview. Huge fan of Mr. Barrett n of the Irish in Gen. Mom is half:) As a 🇩🇿 we speak same philosophical language as the Irish= FREEDOM. #❤🇵🇸✊️🇩🇿☪️🤲✨️
The Irish and the European Jews also have something quite profound in common. Our collective psyches have been scarred by a holocaust. The big difference is in how we have reacted to our trauma. For the Irish, it has given us empathy for the suffering of others. But for the Israelis, it's more a case of perpetuating their trauma onto the Palestinians. And because they're been able to do this with such impunity, they've become increasingly unhinged.
Oh Yes finally made it here and chose this video to watch 1st. Loyal Jewish Ulster 🤮. Ruddy Hell, being Scottish and knowing our role in these twin atrocities is hard to deal with. Comradeship and support to Irish and Palestinian people I'm here for information and assistance to spread the word. Love from Glasgow ✊
When you demonize another group of people then you can see them as less than human making atrocities seem like a good thing. The war is in the mind before it is in the field. The fact that people of power claim to be of god and do this is the worst.
My love thoughts and prayers are always with our Palestine brothers and sisters. Ireland will always be with you. And hopefully one day we both will get our countries back and peace for our children.

Palestine has never been “free” of Jews.
Local Arabs lived peacefully before 1948 without their own state, they were so content they never asked for one before…. and when the United Nations offered them their own state in 1948 they said "NO" preferring to drive the Jews into the sea. Borders change.
Only the sheep listen to antisemites.

He is an idiot that can't even tell when Palestine ever came to existence. He does not even know there was no country called Palestine ever in history and that this is a false islamic movement to try to destroy the Jewish nation. There were 6 nations that attack Israel when they came back for the 3rd time in history, none of those islamic nations was the fake Palestine nation because it never existed! They are ARABS from Egypt and Jordan, Arafat, an Egyptian was the first self-proclaimed Palestinian in history, before him, the only Palestinians were Jews after the Romans branded Judea as Syria Palestina. This fool is an antisemite, ignorant and very dangerous for supporting an islamic terror organisation and demonising the Jewish people. WE THE IRISH PEOPLE STAND WITH OUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Dear Sur0ush, there is an Irish surname that sounds like yours - Merrigan. Are we not all brothers and sisters? Love back to all you feisty young Iraqui thinkers from Ireland.
Dear Catrina, the similarities are wonderful indeed! My surname is associated with the word Mehr which means love and kindness, It also refers to a messenger who after some time, became a god in myths coming to Europe as Mythra, associated with the Sun! or Apollo in some places which is related to Abraham in the Semite culture! The event of Yalda, which we Iranians celebrate on the longest night of the year, the last day of autumn, is believed to be a celebration of light winning against darkness! This Mythric celebration came to be Christmas when "Merry Christmas" is the sentence commonly used!@@catrinamcdermott4211
I heard a theory that the Irish (the Gaels) might come from an Iranian tribe mentioned by Pliny the Elder 2000 years ago, that tribe were called the Gaeli! The Gilaki are their modern descendents. Saludos from an Irishman in the north of Argentina!
In Iran, there is a province called Guilan/Gilan that is known for its beautiful sights of the Hyrcanian forests. The natural scenery in Guilan is similar to many parts of Europe. Moreover, the similarities between the Hyrcanian forests in Iran and the Hercynian forest in Europe provide further evidence of the relatedness!@@CharlieOBrienTF

Spare us the crocodile tears.
Andalusia and Israel are two territories taken back from Muslims.
Islam thinks it's supreme among the world’s religions and Jews are not equal to Muslims under Islamic law. And yet they now have self determination, autonomy and control in their ancient homeland, a homeland once ruled by Muslims.
Arabs slaughtered half a million Arabs in Syria recently.

See that doesn't make any sense. That's the same as supporting the British in Northern Ireland to have their own land there. Irish people supporting the Arabs in this conflict, is beyond absurd. They better than anyone should understand the struggle of Israël trying to stave off the Arabs, it's the same as the Irish struggle against the British.
@@BamBamGT1You are very much mistaken by inferring our struggle is similar to Israel’s situation with the Palestinians. The Israeli regime denies Palestinian the same rights as Israeli citizens, deny them to return to their own land. What is this Jews trying to stave off Arabs? Jews, Arabs and Christians lived together in Palestine in peace until the European Zionists arrived. They have completely destroyed Israeli as recent events have proved strongly. Anyone with a shred of common sense would know the Israeli government don’t give two hoots about their civilians. And of course need we say more about their view of Palestinians.
@@BamBamGT1 We see the Israelis as equivalent to the brits, colonisers basically who took land that did not belong to them. If I am not mistaken initially the irish state did support the creation of a Jewish state after world war 2.
I always have respect for Irish people. According to Native American& Mexican, many Irish people who immigrated from Ireland have helped them during their struggle against other European settlers.
The Native Americans in particular are very close to Irish hearts, none more than the Choctaw people who sent aid to us during the famine when they had only recently suffered through the trail of tears. Such selfless acts will never be forgotten ❤

Real Talk
Very interesting. My ancestors suffered in Ireland for what the British government did and I’m reading books to find out more and learn. Unfortunately Welsh schools (when I was younger in 80s) didn’t teach us this history. I realise now why though! UK wanted to keep us ignorant as to the real causes.
The most revealing thing i have read this past ten years. See Micheal moore's documentarys to see how the upper echelons are dumbing down education to make us more manageable, in the US and Britain.
Yes, all governments hide their centuries old dirty deeds, the profiteers always pay to have the history books write them in a shining light.
They did a lot to the Welsh as well and to the English peasant. The evil power hungry people of this world who abuse others is in every society in the world as far as I can see.

Although he doesn't mention it, the struggle for Irish freedom at the turn of the 19th century was closely studied by other such movements-notably in China (Mao studied Michael Collins and the guerrilla style warfare of the Irish Revolution) but so did Ho Chi Minh. It's nice to know that our struggle and suffering went on to inspire others to take on the behemoth states of both Britain and the US. And, of course, the Irish people were opposed to slavery in the US before this and actually brought Frederick Douglas to Dublin to speak because the Irish saw the plight of slaves of African origin and the Irish slaves and Irish oppression generally. We have been making these connections for a very long time.
Actually it was Daniel O Connell that brought F Douglas to Ireland to ask the Irish who where going to emigrate to America to stand in solidarity with the African American community in America, unfortunate they didn’t and the Irish who emigrated to America attacked and killed them.
Just to clarify, saying the Irish were slaves is a common white supremacist. My people were not chattel slaves, they were considered indentured servants who were forced to work the land until it was payed off. BIG DIFFERENCE between the two
I do have a graduate degree in history so I do not bandy about terms like slavery lightly. In fact, some Irish people were indentured (as were, by the way, some-very few- Black people). But many Irish people were, in fact, kidnapped and sold into actual chattel slavery and worked the fields right next to African slaves. These Irish people were sent to the Caribbean and it was called "Barbadosing the Irish." It was done particularly during Cromwellian times (but also other times) in order to steal land but also just because the Irish were considered an "inferior race" akin to Africans. Pictures of the "debased Irish" who were said to "look like Africans" ran in English newspapers. Here is an entire video on this subject by a young African American man who has just found this out himself. ua-cam.com/video/icXUl14zjX8/v-deo.html
@@rowanmurphy4986
We were not enslaved, we were made indentured servants, there's a big difference. Indentured servitude is still evil, but chattell slavery is far, FAR worse
As I have said to others. I do have a graduate degree in HISTORY. Irish people were primarily indentured in the United States (aka "the Colonies"). But they were also sometimes enslaved. But it was in the Caribbean they were enslaved on a much larger scale. They were quite literally kidnapped from Ireland and "Barbadosed., which is what this enslavement was called. Here is an entire video made by a young African American man when he discovered this ENSLAVEMENT.
ua-cam.com/video/icXUl14zjX8/v-deo.html
The problem with people who have not actually studied history carefully is that they think that the enslavement of Africans in the Americas was the first and most egregious enslavement. It was certainly egregious, but so were many forms of slavery throughout history and it was absolutely not the former. Do you know who the Mamluks were, for instance? Do you know Muslim laws regarding slaves? No! BEcause you do not know the history of slavery. And just by the by, Africans were also sometimes (rarely) indentured. in the Colonies. And indentured people were often not actually allowed to buy their freedom. So the history of both slavery and indenturing (and serfdom, and villein-ship and, and, and) is complex and interwoven and I REALLY wish that people who know virtually nothing about any of it would just stop talking, please.@@tedthecommenter5364

That's like the same as: If Ireland united, and the British people living there revolted, you'd pick the side of the British to have their own state in Ireland. It makes no sense for Irish people to support the Palestinians.

@@neasa4222 How come? The Irish and the Jews have similar histories. Both had their ancestral lands conquered for centuries, the Irish by the British, the jews by the Arabs. Both gained independence last century. Both still had part of their ancestral lands conquered by the British/Arabs. The main difference is that Israel in 1967 took those lands from Egypt/Jordan and that GB still controls Northern Ireland. So yeah, seems to me like 'the Palestinians' in the story of Ireland, would be the British living in Northern Ireland.

40:40 Yes. In Finland (apart from some individual volunteers), there is no widespread need to involve ourselves with this fight, amongst the politicians or the people, either; thankfully, as that would go directly against our national interests. The problem, and the pitfall I wish the Finnish government didn’t step into, was the paranoia-fueled need to join NATO: ”Now that Russia invaded Ukraine, it’s only a matter of time, before they’ll invade Finland. Better join NATO! 😱”, which is simply not true. Russia has had no need to invade Finland, in decades. If they wanted to invade us, they would have done so, already. Even before the Winter War, Stalin tried the diplomatic approach, before invasion. Invading Finland was basically the last resort for him. Unfortunately, our then-foreign minister, Eljas Erkko, with his uncompromising stubbornness, left Stalin with no choice, but to invade Finland, for a buffer-zone between Leningrad and Nazi Germany. In the Continuation War, we were the aggressor, trying to create ”Greater Finland”. Russia has never wanted to invade Finland. Before the 1808-1809 War, it was mostly Sweden that invaded Russia, using us Finns, as cannon fodder (although, we were the elite forces, ”Hakkapeliitat”); and, after 1809, there have only been those 2 wars between Russia and Finland, the Winter War and the Continuation War, which, as discussed, were the fault of the Finnish Government. In 1808, Tsar Alexander I was pressured, by Napoleon, to invade Sweden, through Finland; and that war turned out to be a major blessing for us, as it brought us autonomy, under Russia, and freedom not seen here, in 700 years. Of course, the Finnish Government is fully on board with the EU’s sanctions against Russia, but they’ve always kissed the EU’s butt, anyways 😒.
Boycotting Israel products, companies that support them
It works
I salute the Irish people for their honesty and support for the Palestinians ❤
We stand for all countries under hostile foreign invasions❤
Do you stand with Israel after the 7th and 12th century Islamic invasion of the holy land?
Why you didn't worry about 6 million jews?
Ireland didn't stand up to Nazi Germany. Ireland's head of state, Eamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death and personally visited German Ambassador Eduard Hempel to pay his respect.

The very best man - representing neutrality and its provenance in Ireland - against the Israeli apartheid regime - great interviewer too 👏👏👏thank you Richard Boyd Barrett TD - Irish parliamentarian
Sort the racism out in Ireland first before going on about another country that has F@#€ all to do with you! Hypocritical much!
commitment, to be sincerely engage, to understand the situation, to travel to Middle East etc make this man a fantastic spokesman for the palestinian people .. respect
THANK YOU IRELAND ❤❤❤
Unfortunately, you will never hear this man today on any of the mainstream media.
He should put the same support to the people who voted him in considering only for them he wouldn't be there and yet he won't meet them to discuss what is going on with all these refugees, fake refugees and illegal unvetted males being put into their community. Parents who are concerned for the safety of their families and him and the rest of the government calling them nazis, far right and racists. But yet there will never be any of them put in his area only in the poorer areas of Ireland. Over a month ago when posie parker was in dublin on her tour , let women speak. There he was stuck in the middle of all the trans who were counter protesting and paul Murphy as well, no support for women's rights in ireland from any of these people. And tonight the communities in Dublin held a vigil for peace and not one politician turned up or anyone that is affected by this conflict. But boyd barrett decided to hold a protest today of all days, it seems he loves Palestinians more than irish people. But i hear he hates the jews and Israel.
We have a society where the people have a voice. Sometimes, we need to shout a bit loud to see changes. It is possible to defeat the occupation.
I,m Canadian and a lefty, and by God , wish we had someone like Richard Boyd Barrett in our Government
I am from Vancouver,Canada and i wanted to say the the Legacy Bill that was just passed by the British Parliament
shows what the British Gov't thinks about the Irish People and the Unionists.I hope this Bill shows the Unionists that
The British Gov't don't give a Damn about them or the Republicans.The British Gov't got Contempt for all Irish People
Republicans and Unionists. A United Ireland will solve this problem.
👋👋👋 A great article by Middle East Eye, I am happy to be of the same mindset as Richard Boyd Barret.
God bless Ireland who stand against oppression.
What an incredible interview! I will remember this forever
Black and Tans were active all over Ireland not just the north
What a brilliant mind. Would love to hear more from him
follow him! he has many, many inspirational and eloquent speeches, never afraid to stand up for his beliefs. Even the party he stands in 'People before Profit' sums his values up.
@@hanforde you know what? I will! Thank you for the advice 😊
This is the kind of human being the world most urgently needs now. God bless him.

My mother was born and raised in Belfast Northern Ireland. I have cousins who were imprisoned in Long quiche for their activity in the ira. That family history is one of the things that radicalized me very young. I immediately saw the parallels between the Irish struggle and the Palestinian people back in the 80s . I was unfamiliar with the speaker until this interview and I'm grateful for it. Claire daily is one of my heroes. Thank you for this interview
We need good people like this. Doing stuff
Very brave of him to speak out
hes a protected shill .. if you think the war in ireland is over then you underestiamte xionists and their britsh and german skullduggery ..
Well said Richard. You represented the views of the Irish people brilliantly. Free Palestine
Love Ireland and the Irish

A great nation mashaAllah,now this is a real man,truthful man,when world is blind about truth,then i found some kind and real human being,who spoke for truth,your country is amazing and your people are amazing too.polite and good mannered truthful people.
This conflict is not just a conflict of two nations it divided the whole world into 2 group. Their is no third, one who says neutral is hypocrite. This is interesting, it's not only dictated by religious sentiments but also by commercial interests. Unfortunately the balance is against the poor and powerless. But they don't know that Almighty is with those who are steadfast with patience.
The Irish remained neutral during World War II, when the Nazis killed millions of people.
Ireland's head of state, Eamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death and personally visited German Ambassador Eduard Hempel to pay his respect.
The world is not divided when it comes to who is the illegal occupier. Even the US for many decades says occupation and illegal settlements are obstacles to peace. This 'conflict' is pretty straightforward.
No mention of the British government as always they do the hit and run then sit back and watch it all unfold.

I love you and i believe you, as a man with backbone.
LOVE goes to Irish people from the world
God Bless you and Thank you Sir, Richard Boyd Barett. Your voice gives courage & hope to me and many others. I watch helplessly as the world leaders choose economical terms over the genocide & aparthied as happenning in Palestine. Women, children are the victims with no play in this war. Keep your voice loud. Thank you !
My Irish DNA feels for the oppressed. Nurse x 33 years. Coming to Ireland soon to work and concerned for everyone struggling despite nation or party. 🙏
Thank you for speaking up.

The people of Irish are always 💯 the likes of Roy Kean, Conor and so many others. I love this man he is always real I’ve seen him talking about not only about Palestinian issues but about so many world issues. God bless you Sir.
Conor McGregors a fuckwit and not many like him over here if thats who youre referring to. Just because he wraps himself in our flag doesnt mean he speaks for us. Hes an embarrasment acting the fool for Yank money.
I appreciate the sentiment otherwise though. Just speaking the truth
7:20 "Our aim is to create a loyal little Jewish Ulster in the middle east to guard against a potentially hostile sea of Arabism" - Ronald Storrs (first British Governor General of Jeruselum, 1936) This is a must watch interview. Thank you.
were very very proud of this man. hes worth hes weight in gold
I'm from Kazakhstan, our people like people who stand for justice, you are a superhero.
Spot on - lots of smaller nations like Australia, which are peace-loving for the most part, get dragged into USA or NATO sanctioned wars like the Iraq, Syrian and Afghanistan wars, or earlier into the Vietnam war.
Even the once fiercely independent Australian Labor Party has a PM in Anthony Albanese who is blindly following the anti-China rhetoric of the dominant militaristic leaders in the USA.
Australia economy and Military is tied with US and Europe .
Australia is nothing without US and Europe protection and economy .
So Australia should stop acting as if it’s relevant without USA and Europe 😂
this is my first time ever seeing an honest politician.♥ 🇵🇸
This is informative, gripping and eye opening
Thank jou ireland and his brave poeple .we will never forget this .
Really really enjoyed this excellent interview. The interviewee was so good, allowing Boyd Barrett to open up about the core values of his politics and world-view. 10/10
What a brilliant interview Mohammed well done
25:11 No. Westminster didn’t even give Ireland Home Rule after making a lot of promises to the contrary during World War I and many Irish soldiers having died for that very thing. Ireland is also Britain’s closest neighbour geographically and thus the British would never let us go for fear of what message that would send to countries of the Empire.
Ireland had little choice but to secede by force. Otherwise, we would be economically dependent on London today, in the same manner as Northern Ireland, Wales or much of England.
Fantastic interview. Huge fan of Mr. Barrett n of the Irish in Gen. Mom is half:) As a 🇩🇿 we speak same philosophical language as the Irish= FREEDOM. #❤🇵🇸✊️🇩🇿☪️🤲✨️
The Irish and the European Jews also have something quite profound in common. Our collective psyches have been scarred by a holocaust. The big difference is in how we have reacted to our trauma. For the Irish, it has given us empathy for the suffering of others. But for the Israelis, it's more a case of perpetuating their trauma onto the Palestinians. And because they're been able to do this with such impunity, they've become increasingly unhinged.

Oh Yes finally made it here and chose this video to watch 1st. Loyal Jewish Ulster 🤮. Ruddy Hell, being Scottish and knowing our role in these twin atrocities is hard to deal with. Comradeship and support to Irish and Palestinian people I'm here for information and assistance to spread the word. Love from Glasgow ✊
Yeah I may use quote on protest poster soon
Well done interview and such an interesting guest. Thanks for all your hard work.
When you demonize another group of people then you can see them as less than human making atrocities seem like a good thing. The war is in the mind before it is in the field. The fact that people of power claim to be of god and do this is the worst.
So true!!
IRELAND IS REMARKABLE WELL DONE IRELAND AND IRISH PEOPLE. 😊
😂 Making Israel Islamic is the opposite of freedom. They should stick to trying to take over Europe.
The Irish have always shown great Christian values. Thanks.
My love thoughts and prayers are always with our Palestine brothers and sisters. Ireland will always be with you. And hopefully one day we both will get our countries back and peace for our children.
Thank u my brother. U r a legend 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Respect to our Irish brothers
The ongoing war crime.
The ongoing theft of Palestinian land.

The Irish are not your brothers they detest Black people!
As a Basque I fully understand what he is talking about, we will always stand with Palestine for very similar reasons. Love and support to Palestinian people.
60% of Gaza support Hamas......
Freedom for Palestine 🇵🇸 and freedom for Ireland 🇨🇮 raise their voices against the occupiers. Their voices are the voice of truth against oppressors. Long live Palestine and Ireland 🇨🇮❤️🇵🇸
This is one person that cant be easily bought , what a breath of fresh air in a world that is full of pollution. I hope the world gets to hear this proud irish good man.
