[00:00:00]Someone asked me why Ireland is so pro-Palestine. Here's why.

[00:00:04]The history of Ireland and the history of Palestine are actually very similar.

[00:00:09]In Ireland, Catholics were moved off their lands and replaced by Protestants.

[00:00:13]In Palestine, Muslims were moved off their lands and replaced by Jews. In Ireland, the country was partitioned along sectarian lines creating a new country called Northern Ireland. In Palestine, the country was also partitioned along sectarian lines creating a new country called Israel. In Ireland, the British government said they wanted peace but only supported one side. In Palestine, the British government said they want peace but they only support one side. Look, I'm not an expert on the Middle East and the conflict is obviously very complicated but it probably is England's fault.
