And just the parallels these people are drawing, trying to insult me, an Irish person, when I’m talking about freeing Palestine. They’re sooo telling.
All these people demanding Palestinian activists tell them whether or not they “condemn Hamas”, which is just such bullshit and a bad faith question. I highly recommend watching the interview the Palestinian ambassador gave on the bbc, just completely obliterating this question. But yes these people will then turn around to me as soon as I speak on Palestine, and ask “do you condemn the IRA!?!?!”.
Once again asked by people without a shred of knowledge on the history of Ireland or Palestine.
First, on the IRA. The IRA (Irish Republican Army) was formed in 1917 from the members of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army. Notice the key words “volunteers” and “citizen”. It was never an army, just a volunteer resistance force of Irish citizens. They didn’t even have weapons at the start. They would train in the woods holding hurls to substitute guns. It wasn’t until the risings when they received weapons donated by other nations supporting the Irish gaining freedom.
More Irish people (who didn’t have the army training the British forces had) were killed and imprisoned by the British, than they killed the British. Various risings and civil wars continued until the Republic came to be in 1948. The six counties of the North are still of course under British rule.
My point is, people (*cough cough* Americans) who “love” Ireland and are so happy that Ireland gained freedom, then turn around and ask us to “condemn the IRA/ Hamas”…
I’m not even going to go into the fact that the IRA has since splintered off into a million different factions and some of them are involved in organised crime, blah, blah. Because again, “condemning the IRA” for gaining freedom for the republic because of the later actions of SOME of them, is just bad faith!
People looovvvee Ireland and Irish culture and are glad the republic exists and are “sad” for the North, but don’t want to acknowledge that we’ve only come this far by violent resistance! If we could’ve just asked real nice for England to fuck off, in the 700 years they occupied us, we would’ve! Peace talks don’t do shit when one side is a colonising power that doesn’t want to leave the other alone!
And again, it’s assuming that colonisation and apartheid states aren’t violent themselves. In both Palestine and Ireland, our oppressors subjugated and forced us into unimaginable conditions for so fucking long. Then when people try to oppose them, they’re called terrorists?
I mean shit, you Americans even have your 4th of July where you celebrate how you guys violently overthrew the English and gained independence. Do we condemn those soldiers for killing British soldiers? I mean every Independence Day of every country involves form of violent rebellion… that’s how shit gets done.
Hamas is a small resistance group. The IDF is a literal army with actual training and the world’s best weapons provided by the biggest powers of the world. EVEN IF somehow Hamas was a big scary terrorist organisation with military grade weapons, what Israel is doing has nothing to do with Hamas. They are bombing fucking children, hospitals, refugee camps, journalists!! All of which are fucking war crimes.
Israel is flooding social media with propaganda about how the hospitals were “Hamas headquarters”. Taking pictures of a board with the days of the week in Arabic and claiming it’s “Hamas terrorist plans”.
This is what the English depicted us as, and it’s what Israel will depict Palestine as. Of course we’re going to support them.
A great quote from on of my favourite films (Pride, 2014) is: “I don’t believe the papers when they talk about us, why should I believe it when they talk about them?”.

Skin Removal Healing Journal 9/19
Removed the sterile bordered gauze and it sucked less this time but it was very much not a pleasant task - it still stuck and peeled the wound in some places. I thought I'd applied enough hydrogel, but even what I applied yesterday wasn't enough - my suspicions about the gauze absorbing it were probably right. I haven't been very active today but it was still soaked. The wound looks a little cleaner today, though.
Reduced mobility continues today, got worn out kind of easily going to the store and another couple shops and I didn't do that much walking. It was nice to be on skates for a few minutes at the skate shop, which I was able to manage alright and without pain.
Worked the gauze off slowly in a kind of clockwise motion - it's easier to pull along a line rather than over it, the less surface area you're peeling at a time, the more bearable it is. Bleeding started from this process but it was pretty minimal and only needed two of the 2x2 gauze pads. The antibiotic soap stings - I repeated the process from yesterday of basically sponging the wound with a damp soapy paper towel and then repeating this process with another damp towel without soap. Did it once more with a dry one to prepare the area for the tegaderm.
I applied the tegaderm once by accident without the hydrogel and then removed it to correct this mistake, which was just fine and didn't hurt. Applying the hydrogel stung a little worse than the soap, but I made sure to apply enough that all the recessed skin was filled and that I could run my gloved hand over it with ease without noticing height difference. Applied the new tegaderm without issue.
