Mural is from Belfast, 1982.
This mural was at the corner of Beechmount Avenue ("RPG Avenue") and the Falls Road.
It is now replaced with a new mural.

And it's not like this is ancient history.
SF-IRA have continued this tradition
of opposing the democracies in war:
They
opposed the democracy of Britain
and supported the imperialist military junta of Argentina
in the
Falklands War
in 1982.
They opposed (and still oppose)
the democracy of Israel
in its war against
Islamic fascism (ongoing since 1947),
and they have openly supported and even collaborated with Israel's Islamofascist enemies.
They opposed (and still oppose)
the democracies of America and Britain in the
war on Iraqi fascism
since 2003.
It is clear that SF-IRA
will never stand with the democracies,
no matter who they fight.
It is clear that,
in a similar situation to WW2 in the future,
SF-IRA would behave in more or less the same way.
IRA hero
Sean South
of Limerick
(born 1928, killed 1957)
was a Catholic fundamentalist
involved in the anti-semitic
Maria Duce (founded 1945).
Rudolph J. Rummel
estimates
(see
here
and
here)
that Argentina's military dictatorship
killed 20,000 people
in democide, 1976-82.
Margaret Thatcher did a great service to the world
(and to Argentina)
in helping to bring down this regime.
Remember that SF-IRA
supported this regime.
The IRSP, 1982:
"We must also salute the sentiments of the Argentinian people
who stood up to Britain and fought for the Malvinas."
Referendum, March 2013. Basically 100 percent of the Falkland Islanders want to stay British.
Shame on any Irish person who does not support their rights.
Lessons From The Falklands
by Mark Steyn,
January 2003: "The Falklands War is the decisive war of the last quarter-century, if
only because it's the one the world
- like Galtieri - never expected.
It marks the dividing line between the free world's territorial losses
of the Sixties and Seventies and its gains in the Eighties and
Nineties."
The long history of Irish republican sympathy for anti-semites like Nazi Germany
continues today with Irish republican sympathy
for Palestinian and other Islamic terror.
The Palestinians and other Islamists are openly anti-semitic and proud of it.
SF-IRA and other republicans have
a range of trendy reasons
why they support these anti-semites.
They claim it is nothing to do with anti-semitism,
and for some of them that is probably true.
But this is a movement that supported Nazi Germany, remember.
IRA-PLO cooperation: A long, cozy relationship, Sean Gannon, Apr 7, 2009.
He notes that the IRA has helped the Islamists,
and its technology is still helping them today:
"recently, Britain has claimed that IRA-developed bomb-making technology passed on to Hizbullah has been used against its forces in Iraq."
Chris Gaskin, a pro-SFIRA republican blogger, openly supports Islamist attacks on Israel, Dec 2008:
"The PLO and other Palestinian Resistance organisations should avenge this attack with utmost severity."
He approvingly quotes an
anonymous Dublin republican
who says:
"it is to be hoped that all Palestinian resistance groups will retaliate against this murderous aggression".
(The latter openly supports the
Iraqi resistance.)
Gaskin tries to
back out of it
in the comments, saying he didn't mean the Islamists should attack civilians
(as if Islamists even recognise the concept of a civilian Jew).
He is like
Tom Paulin
saying Israeli settlers should be shot dead,
and then being surprised when they shoot Israeli settler children dead.
So if Gaskin somehow supports Palestinian terror
but does not support attacks on civilians,
maybe he could construct a list of Palestinian terror attacks over the last 20 years that he supports,
and a list of ones he opposes,
and then we could understand his bizarre mind better.
If he ever writes such a list,
tell me here.
Gaskin is a socialist
and supports the dictatorship in Cuba.
He declares his support for Obama.
This is not a joke. This is real.
This is a real mural in Belfast, 2002.

The terrorist butcher
Yasser Arafat
is tagged as "Peacemaker - A life devoted to conflict resolution"!
SF-IRA types generally identify with any violent revolutionaries attacking a liberal democracy.
From Derry Friends of Palestine.
"Palestine - Ireland - Hamas - IRA - One struggle"
So declares
"homerbhoy1",
an IRA supporter
from Belfast.
He
illustrates the common support for Islamic terror among IRA people.
I suppose that once you support terror against one liberal democracy,
it is a short step to supporting terror against other liberal democracies.
The Catholic anti-semite
"homerbhoy1" declares:
"THE ONLY JUDE IS A DEAD JUDE ......................."
(The only good Jew is a dead Jew.)
The "Solidarity Wall"
on the Falls Road,
Belfast,
nicely illustrates the problem with many Irish republicans
- their hatred of liberal democracies (the UK, the US, Israel, the Free State),
and their ongoing love affair with romantic foreign tyranny
(Cuba, Libya, Palestine, Argentina, the Nazis).
Further on we get anti-American hatred.
From street view.
And support for communist tyrants in Cuba.
Note it is Bush's hands that drip with blood, not Fidel's or Che's.

In 1982 the INLA
bombed the Mount Gabriel radar station
in Co. Cork,
which they claimed was providing help to NATO
in the Cold War
against the Soviet Union.
The 32 CSM / RIRA
sought links
to Saddam Hussein's genocidal tyranny in Iraq.
The 32 CSM / RIRA
support the Islamist butchers of Beslan.
They celebrate the Islamic butcher of children
Shamil Basayev
on their site, and carry releases from "Chechen Mujahideen".
Unbelievably, "May Allah bless his Jihad!" appears on the 32 CSM site.
More here:
"The 32 County Sovereignty Movement .. sends its sincere condolences
to the comrades, friends and family of Chechen resistance leader
Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev."
They praise "his martyrdom" for Allah.
Why supposed "marxists" are supporting reactionary religious fanatics is a mystery.
You would think that for once SF-IRA would decline to protest,
given the good work the troops are doing fighting Islamic religious fascism
abroad.
But no.
One of the Sinn Fein men defended his protest at the liberation of foreign Muslims:
"We have a right to show our opposition against the oppression of Britain here,
in Afghanistan and Iraq."
What a disgusting political party.
Republican Sinn Fein protest a Catholic performing on a record for the brave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Oct 2008.
"Republican Sinn Féin hit out at the reality television show "X Factor" for cynically using an Irish contestant to promote British Imperial misadventures
...
A spokesperson for the organisation said that it was morally repugnant that producers would pressurise contestants into endorsing foreign occupation.
... contestants including County Derry's Eoghan Quigg were forced to perform a song in tribute to those who have invaded Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq, and countless other countries, and displaced and murdered the native populace."
It is clear that SF-IRA and its offshoots have not changed since World War Two.
30,000 people at homecoming for British troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Belfast, Nov 2008.
Nice to see a proper welcome for the British troops
fighting Islamic religious fascism.
And
search.
However, SF-IRA protested against the British Iraq troops homecoming, Nov 2008.
Here the protesters quote
Communist butcher and tyrant
Ho Chi Minh.

dissident republican protest against the British Iraq troops homecoming, Nov 2008.
This is clearly open support for the Iraqi Islamic religious fascist "resistance".

There are not many Jews in Ireland, so Republicans have to work hard to find some to attack.
IRA killing of Jews:
You would think that an organisation that worked with the Nazis
would avoid targeting Jews, but no.
The Belfast Jew
Leonard Steinberg,
founder of a large chain of betting shops,
was shot five times at his house by the IRA in 1977
because he refused to pay them protection money.
He survived, but left Northern Ireland.
The Belfast Jew
Leonard Kaitcer,
a wealthy antiques dealer,
was abducted from his house by the IRA in 1980 and held for ransom.
This was apparently legitimate because he was a "capitalist".
The IRA panicked during negotiations,
and shot him dead
and dumped his body.
Israel-hating thugs from
Éirígí
attack a stall selling Israeli cosmetics, Belfast shopping centre, Jan 2009.
Report:
"The staff of the targeted stall were visibly shaken, one woman and one man reduced to tears".
Ireland now is much the same as Ireland in WW2.
Dissident republican thugs

throw paint at the Jews, Belfast shopping centre, 16 Nov 2012.
Just like Father Creagh's followers
in Limerick in 1904-06.

This is a movement that supported Nazi Germany during World War Two.
"Oh here's to Adolph Hitler,
Who made the Britons squeal,
Sure before the fight is ended
They will dance an Irish reel."

21 Nov 1940,

Nazi Germany's conquest of Europe.
"Israel
is without doubt one of the most abhorrent and despicable regimes on the planet."

Since 1995.
