  • First of all, I want to say that on this channel, I cover Irish history and its connections to other countries all over the world. I am aware that the timing of this video is not exactly ideal. This video is for Irish history educational purposes ONLY and NOT to be linked to current affairs. History is history, and education is always number one. There is no bias in this video, nor do I take any stance or give any opinions on current affairs in this video. Just to reiterate, this is for Irish history educational purposes only. Thank you all very much, and I hope this video is beneficial to you in your studies of Irish history.

    I hadn’t been aware that the Black & Tans were shipped to Palestine after the War of Independence, until I read it recently in ‘Legacy of Violence - A History of the British Empire’. The book also refers to the fact that Zionist agents, who were fighting the British, were inspired by the IRA (as were Indian nationalists). Three Zionist agents were sentenced to death following an explosion I think at a hotel, and one of them referred to the IRA struggle from the dock. The book devotes quite a bit to the action of the British in Palestine and is well worth reading to understand some of the current situation there.

      @@TheLastAngryMan01 There's also a darker side to connections between the IRA and zionism. The Stern Gang opposed the British presence in Palestine long before the outbreak of the war but as WW2 progressed, some felt that they needed to do more against Britain than assassinations and bombings. AT the same time Sean Russell was talking to high ranking staff in Berlin, hoping to get backing to open a second front against the UK, the Stern gang sent a letter to Germany proposing an alliance - knowing full well who they were dealing with, It's a very strange episode which is never mentioned. Dev had interned most of the IRA (2000) by then and Russell's mission failed but it has been used to smear Ireland recently, conflated with Dev's personal visit to Kempel, the German ambassador. The story of Ireland's neutrality is deeply complex and willfully misunderstood by many in Israel these days, it would seem. The Black and Tans burned Cork 19 years before WW2 started and Britain waged a trade war against the Free State between 1932-38. AN alliance with Churchill was impossible. The Holocaust had not happened, America remained neutral until attacked.

      As a sovereign state? Before the present it was British Mandate, before that Ottoman territory, before that Crusader, Byzantine, Roman, and Judea and Israel. The thing is, the Palestinians were there and they are human beings who deserve to have the right to live where they live, without violence, but the Jews did not come from chicken eggs in the desert, they have a connection with the land and an origin of expulsion and persecution, They went there for a reason. Their government is a result of many things but the State is there, it is real, it should not suffer violence, it is a fact. Killing people is not protest. Now netanyahu is wrong, he needs to be removed and the Palestinian state does have the right to exist. What happens is people forget that it's not black and white, there are people, cultures and a lot involved. Was Palestine also a colonial invention, or do you think that 22 Arab countries with the same language, “culture and ethnicity” are something that occurred without colonialist intervention?

      Similar to most English colonialism, Palestine was a creation of the British. So-called Palestinians are historically ethnically and nationalistic from Egypt and/or Jordan. Prior to the British creation of Palestine, it did not exist.
      For those that say Palestinians = historical Philistines, you are wrong. But, if you insist on going down that rabbit hole, the Philistines originated in the Greek isles.
      For Catholic Irish to equate themselves and the fight for their freedom from the British does not equate to the Palestinian plight. Over 80% of Palestinians voted for terrorist rule of Hamas who is in their 8th year of a 4 year term. Their government is using them as human shields and steeling the aid being sent to them. Israel gave up their land to said “Palestinians” in a peace agreement and moved out of the area. They jacked up their own land. Then supported an elected terrorist government in breaking that treaty on 10/7.
      Please study more about Israeli/“Palestinian”/British history before equating this current situation to the legit freedom fighters of Ireland.

    The state of the world right now is frightening, which is why we need these kinds of videos now more than ever. It’s so easy to separate ourselves out and pretend that we have no connections to other parts of the world, but that simply is not the case.

    The part that stuck out to me was the part that you also mentioned, the part about Sir Roger Casement. I had not heard that before, but am glad you found it and brought it to our attention.
    The timing of this video might have been more on the right than you realize. Maybe it will wake some people up. It's sad the shape our world is in and people need to wake up now because the time is fading fast and soon it will be too late. Don't apologize, you are doing a service, you are a modern day hero. Your work is hard to do, I know, but keep it up, because we appreciate it and we appreciate you.
    Thank you, Davy

Tbh you may have thought it wasn't a good time to release the video but the fact that people are talking about Palestine right now may bring more people to get to know and love Irish history and culture. And btw I'm not saying you released this video at this time for views, and honestly I would totally understand if you did that but I know that's not the case anyway

  • @zonule_

    I have to say I'm disappointed by your disclaimer at the beginning of the video. The idea that you must remain completely neutral in the context of, as you put it very safely, "what's going on in the world right now," seems unnecessary. What's going on is a genocide. And for an educational channel to refuse to take a side against genocide is to implicitly teach your audience to do the same.
    That said, I understand and respect your mission to keep the focus of the video on history. Not everyone needs to be an explicitly political channel. It's just strange to hear you repeatedly apologize for the timing of your video. I would argue that the timing makes it all the more important to highlight the historical ties between Ireland and Palestine, and I thank you for deciding to release the video.

    • @davyholden
      @davyholden  2 місяці тому +10

      That is your opinion, and I respect it. I choose not to cover current affairs on my channel, or express my opinions. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a large online following across multiple social media platforms (totalling about 1/2 million right now), but it’s a pretty stressful environment to be in and I have a lot of weight on my shoulders. Pleasing everyone is literally impossible. Contradicting that, at the end of the day, I run an Irish history channel, so current affairs are by no means a part of what I do. Of course I could choose to cover current affairs also, but I choose not to. I don’t want any limelight in the world of current affairs. That’s not why I started this channel or what this channel is about.
      Appreciate your comment. Thank you!

      @@davyholden Just reading the comments on this video I can see people trying to come at you from all sides, so I definitely understand the inclination to limit the scope of your project to history. And no, I don't have any experience with an online audience, nor would I want to! It must feel like very shaky ground at times.
      I still very much appreciate the video and the time you took to reply to me here! My own view is that history and education always have political aspects, and that to remain neutral in situations of injustice is to side with the oppressor (paraphrasing Desmond Tutu). But I'm not the one who has to deal with the fallout, so I try to just offer my perspective without directing it at you like a criticism. I applaud your efforts to make history accessible on what can be a very unwelcoming platform!

But the "private" bankers have done their "works" well in always putting out the "message" to divide and rule. They were very effective in getting rid of any King who didn't fit the "plan' including before the planned WW2. Most people have no idea of how the money system was and is being used. Or how murderous and barbaric are the few who over a long, long, time made it their only "belief."
