Victims of the Troubles

Paramilitaries (UVF/IRA) were responsible for 90% of Troubles deaths.

If you excuse the perpetrators of one murder you excuse the perpetrators of all murders.

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?

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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…

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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.

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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?

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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.

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

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

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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?

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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.

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

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

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

@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?

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

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

I’m genuinely curious.

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

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)

[Bart Teeling 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @teelingbart]

@Glinner That’s it? That’s your entire argument? One death out thousands. You didn’t give a shit when women were being slaughtered by loyalists and crown forces. But now you’re the spokesman for Irish women. Get ta fuck, you fraud.

[Victims of the Troubles @VictimsTroubles]

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.

[christy kelly @christyxkelly]

As a supporter of SF and follower of SF , I was contacted via twitter about doing a pile on, on some twitter users. This eventually led to my banning hence my new account. The person who contacted me is a PA of a certain SF td. He gave us information on people.

“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.
