Why do Ulster Protestants support Israel, and Ulster/Irish Republicans support Palestine?
Protestant politicians in Northern Ireland support Israel ( it gives them an excuse to repeat their tired old mantra about standing up to terrorism, etc,etc ) and Nationalist politicians don’t like what Israel does to Palestine. Basically if the Protestants can’t oppress in their own country anymore, then they like to support someone who can oppress. Old Protestant dogmas die hard in Northern Ireland. Nationalists and Nationalist politicians have always stood up against oppression as they were always the ones being opressed. Both sets of politicians in Northern Ireland are of a very poor standard.
