IRA Revealed to be still involved in Terror and Killing

Why is the EU so silent on this issue? What are they afraid to reveal.

"One of America’s most influential terrorist enemies traces its lineage back some thirty years — and it isn’t a Muslim organization.

In splinter groups like the Continuity IRA and more recently the Real IRA, Irish terrorists have positioned themselves at the center of a network connecting revolutionary FARC rebels in Colombia, Hezbollah in the Middle East, al-Qaeda in Iraq, and Taliban forces in Afghanistan currently fighting and killing American troops. The IRA and PFLP have trained together and coordinated attacks, weapons smuggling, and other illegal activities for decades. FARC and the IRA have a similar relationship.

What’s more, Irish terrorists may even link America’s foes abroad to its enemies at home. As Pajamas Media previously reported, federal agents earlier this year raided the homes of revolutionary Marxist-Leninist “peace activist” Mick Kelly and Hamas-connected “Arab-American leader” Hatem Abudayyeh as part of a multi-state sweep seeking to uncover the web of relationships between Kelly’s Minneapolis circle of American communists and terrorist militant groups in Colombia, Palestine, Syria, and Jordan.

Though federal agents have not disclosed an interest in the role played by Irish groups in American support for terror, a closer look at Irish Republican activities reveals a myriad of dots ready and waiting for investigators to connect — if they haven’t already.

As the Daily Record declared in 2003, IRA-Palestinian links “go back for more than 30 years,” with Irish terrorists trained in Lebanon “so proficient that they are now in demand by foreign groups.” Then as now, “engineers” trained in bombing were prized above all. The Real IRA, the Record reports, recruited “almost all the IRA engineering section.” Links with Muslim terror organizations “have become so close,” the report continues, “that Palestinian flags have been seen in Republican areas of Belfast” in Ireland."

The link between the IRA and Palistine has been obvious on the streets of N Ireland since the troubles began with IRA controlled neighborhoods flying the Palestinian Flag in. 

On the other side the UDF neighborhoods fly the Israeli Flag.

In my opinion, the relationship was bred from a commonality of struggle, as they both seek liberation from what they feel as an occupying foreign entity. Ideologically, they are quite different.

No matter the level at which the two groups cooperate, the greatest bond they share is strategic. "My enemy's enemy, is my friend".
