When did Cathal Crowe post this?

I've met many committed co. Clare Palestine activists e.g. people in Ennis started the recently successful campaign against Teva pharma at a conference in Carlow.
Recently I was at a Palestine demo in county Clare. Local TD Crowe (FF Aviation + Logistics spokesperson) decided to speak to some of them when I was present. Activists why he didn't reply to letters and why US military planes were being allowed use Irish airspace, land in Shannon and were never searched despite The Ditch journalists uncovering specifically what military equipment was onboard via Airline freight declarations, Fed Ex etc. Crowe gave stock answers only days after Paul Murphy TD handed over the info files on US military plane contents to Simon Harris during Dail questions.
Eventually it wasn't going well for an annoyed Cathal who said Shannon roundabout protesters were making things awkward for people going into Shannon Airport and unceremoniously walked off.
The next morning on Instagram Paul Murphy posted a Cathal Crowe reply to a Clare Palestine activist where Crowe had called them a "spineless troll" in a brief curt letter.

Is it? How? It makes sense to me ... I mean I know the Brits got up to plenty of shit here in the 70s/80s, but surely Israel's conduct is a few orders of magnitude worse?

He said the British forces never bombed or shot civilians.

The brits did in fact shoot citizens here though. The actual state forces.

That's before we get into the collusion with loyalist terror groups and what went boom because of it.

He's on the apology trail today...
There is documented history of the brits killing on Co. Clare in any case.
He seems to be a bit of a shill for shannon airport

Hmm yeah ok I guess he did, so yeah that was a bit cackhanded in fairness. I think the thrust of what he was saying is totally valid though - if the Brits reacted to the IRA the way Israel reacted to Hamas then we'd be living in a very different world

we'd be living

We might not be

We might not be

even with his 'i was speaking off the cuff' defence, it's quite a mistake to make when he a) studied history, b) was a history teacher, c) has protested about commemoration of british state forces, and d) his family 'suffered at the hands of the british military'.

However, Mr Crowe said he got that comparison "wrong" while he was "speaking largely off the cuff".

"I was speaking without a scripted speech and instead using a series of bullet points."

Mr Crowe studied history in university and later went on to become a history teacher. He added that in 2020 he led a boycott of a planned State commemoration of the Royal Irish Constabulary.

The Clare TD acknowledged that British forces "have been involved in many heinous attacks on Irish people historically" and that his family also "suffered at the hands of British military in the past".

If he’d said “Provisional IRA” he might have gotten away with it.

Famine? Dunno what you mean

Famine? Dunno what you mean

I think more appropriately for the Brits - 'famine, which famine?'

India:

• Great Bengal Famine of 1770:
  This famine, which devastated Bihar, Northern, and Central Bengal, resulted in an estimated 10 million deaths.
  
  
• Orissa Famine of 1866:
  This famine affected large areas of modern Odisha, causing widespread starvation and disease.
  
  
• Indian Famine of 1896–1897:
  This famine severely impacted the Deccan Plateau, leading to an estimated 5 million deaths.
  
  
• Indian Famine of 1899–1900:
  This famine further exacerbated the crisis in India, resulting in another million deaths.
  
  
• Bengal Famine of 1943:
  One of the deadliest famines in history, it resulted in the deaths of 1.5 to 3 million people in Bengal.
  
  
• Other notable famines:
  Chalisa famine (1783-1784), Doji bara famine (1789-1795), Agra famine (1837-1838), Bihar famine (1873-1874), Rajputana famine (1869), and the Upper Doab famine (1860-1861).
  

Outside of India:

• Great Famine (Ireland):
  While not directly part of the British Empire's colonial holdings, this famine, resulting from potato blight, caused widespread suffering and death in Ireland between 1845 and 1852.
  
  
• Other Famines in British Colonies:
  Famines also occurred in other parts of the British Empire, such as in various regions of Africa, Australia, and Canada.
