Probably because nationalists fear the much deadlier migrants from the UK who have killed and burned people out of their homes for a very long time now.
@PolitlcsUK Contrast this to the 80s when the shoot to kill policy was in full force in Nationalists areas. The cops would have been firing plastic bullets at the heads of everyone in that crowd.
The same fascist thugs behind the riots in Belfast last night were also behind the murders of these 3 little white boys, The Quinn Brothers, simply because they were catholic.
Bombay Street, Belfast 1969 people burnt out of their homes for being a different religion.
Tonight, people are being burnt out of their homes for being a different nationality.
This is how Belfast looks on my femicide map.
Each of the ~1,000 pins is for a woman or girl murdered in Belfast between 1900 - 2025.
Almost all of them murdered by men and mostly by the type of men who were strolling around Belfast tonight wrecking their own city. /1
Racist pogroms indiscriminately attacking migrants and non-white people. Ugly, fascist, violence on our island that we can not ignore.
This has to be challenged and defeated. The trade union movement needs to step up to protect and unify working people, migrant and Irish.
As always the Irish organisations in Belfast showing real community leadership yesterday as others whipped up racist fear and violence.
Meanwhile the same communities who hang out Israeli flags behaved like their "heroes" in the occupied West Bank burning families out of homes.
@TullMcAdoo Don’t be coming to our City with your race baiting shite, Dwyer. We’ve been on the other side of the Loyalist pogroms and have long memories. There’s a supermarket not too far from him where you can buy fresh boxers.
@I_amMukhtar I just drove past two ‘protests’ with about 15-20 people, mostly women. Don’t believe the dog whistles for a minute. They don’t have widespread support. It is the usual racist flag shagging Loyalist scumbags who only appear when it suits their fascist agenda.
