If Britain is occupied, who are the occupiers?


The Zionist Colony is a Weapon.

The Israeli colony was designed by the British Empire Ruling Class as a weapon aimed at prevent pan-Arab political and economic solidarity. The subdivision of the region was designed to set up Monarchies and Dictatorships that would keep political and economic Power from the people, and act as vassal states of the European Empires, funded, trained and armed by the European Empires. 

The political movements within the new states that attempted to implement independence from the European yoke were undermined through covert and overt warfare, instigated from Europe.

The long term geo-strategic objective was and remains to prevent non-European States developing independent economies utilising the resources of their regions to build industrial modern socialist societies, because the Europeans, well aware of the exploitative nature of their own economies feared the well known collaborative and pro-social proclivities and the creativity of the global south would soon outpace the Europeans and importantly reveal to the European populations the fundamental flaws of European Capital as a hegemonic power.

The underlying element of British and European Racism as a tool of Wealth Extraction.

Palestinian-American intellectual and activist Edward Said wrote about this in his work,  Orientalism. It is an essential read.

His 1978 book of the same name explores the ways Western experts, or “Orientalists”, have come to understand and represent the Middle East, drawing on the long history of European Empires forays into Africa and Western and South Eastern Asia.. 

Said shows how Orientalist writings and ideologies actively shape the world they describe, and how they perpetuate views of Middle Eastern and the peoples of the Global South people as inferior, subservient, and in need of saving. As a result, these often racist or romanticised stereotypes create a worldview that was promoted to justify Western colonialism and imperialism.

The European Rulers and Capitalists were well aware that these views were wildly inaccurate - however they needed their populations to think otherwise in order to get away with the criminal cruelty that they knew well they intended to inflict, in order to extract wealth from those regions. 

I remember in my youth watching the movie 'Fu Man Chu' which gave me a dread of the Chinese. It was, I later understood, a work of propaganda. 

Fu Manchu is the fictional supervillain created by Sax Rohmer in 1913, acting as the ultimate personification of the "Yellow Peril". The character’s propaganda was built on racist paranoia, feeding Western anxieties about Asian influence, and framing Chinese people as a mysterious, existential threat to Western civilization.

Grooming as a political weapon.

People in power do not have to be Racist themselves to be willing to deploy Racism as a political weapon, and this makes them so much more dangerous than the ordinary street level bigot. Those who curate any form of bigotry to weaponise a population are among the most dangerous people on Earth.

The story of the invention of the category 'White People' by the oligarchy that Ruled in the British Colonies on Turtle Island is instructive. The intent was to weaponise one sector of a diverse working population, Europeans, against all others.

With regard to Orinetlaism the European Ruling Class Oligarchy who had relations with the ruling class of the global south, and understood them quite well enough to trade with and collaborate with as they expanded their colonial dominance needed the ordinary working Europeans to believe that they too were superior to 'the natives' of exotic lands, they need the ordinary Europeans to buy the sales rap of bringing civilisation, christianity and commerce to the rest of the world, and they need willing applicants to man the armies of bureaucrats, technicians, workers, police and military mercenaries they had to utilise to dominate and protect the exploitation of those exotic regions. 

The Global South vs Individualistic Capital

To this day European power limits Global South development primarily through asymmetrical economic and institutional structures. Mechanisms like unequal trade rules, restrictive intellectual property, debt burdens, and unilateral environmental policies—such as the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)—reinforce dependency and hinder domestic industrialization.

Undermining any state that attempts to correct this imbalance is standard European Foreign Policy.

Deprivation in Britain is a weapon.

Furthermore in Britain the processes of extraction of wealth and its engineers have  consistently corrupted Government to maintain a level of poverty to drive a large swathe of the people into low wage work, because cheap labour is a major wealth extraction amplifier. 

This also generates a sector of the population who are genuinely facing deprivation, generation after generation, who see a middle class and a billionaire class gaining wealth whilst they suffer. 

In entertainment they see themselves being caricatured and castigated - Little Britain, Benefits Street, Shameless, 'Shirkers and Strivers' narratives. 

They see Working Tax Credits and Universal Credit deployed to subsidise low wages, rather than improve their lives, they see corruption in politics as Wealth donates to influence politicians, they endure unequal educational provision, they suffer from the removal of stable social housing, they are well aware that wages have been kept artificially low.

And we have evidence that all of this suffering is intentionally imposed, and yet the comfortable middle class appear to be refusing to stand in solidarity with the people facing such deprivation.

An ocean of human suffering, routinely belittled.

Of course they are angry. 

And the madness that their anger is being deflected via the dynamics of deployed lateral violence, away from the Ruling Class, towards 'othered' groups of people who are visually easy to identify, is also a cruelty. Starmer's island of strangers was an act of utter cruelty. And the way their anger is being exacerbated to heighten their emotional reactivity and to weaponise them against their own interests is yet another layer of intentional cruelty.

Who occupies Britian?

If it is that Britain is occupied, it is that it is the British Ruling Class who are the descendants of the Normans, the Monarchy, the Barons and the landed aristocracy who organised the expansion of colonialism as a business model to build the wealth to create Capitalism itself. The Normans came to Britain on boats, carrying big knives.

The Two Problems of People and Power.

The problem the British people face is the majority have never ever held their Ruling Class accountable for the many avoidable harms it has caused them and so many others. And so they are Ruled over rather than governed well.

The problem the British Ruling Class face is that this is shifting - a growing majority understand that they have to dismantle the old sordid venal ruling class, in part because their wilful enabling of the Genocide of Palestinians is now blatant and unapologetic.

The Labour Party started as workers and socialists seeking to wrangle a better deal without a direct confrontation, because they did not want another Civil War where modern weapons would be deployed. There was wisdom in that slower approach.

However, after WWI, The Labour Party was infiltrated by The Establishment, who have been weakening the advocacy of ordinary working people within the Labour movement.

It no longer serves any purpose other than to maintain the dominance of the English Ruling Class.

Reform serves the English Ruling Class as a method of dividing the population against itself and its own interests.

Who then can the British people turn to other than each other, in solidarity, and who among the political movements best represents the meeting of this need?

Starmer has no choice. We do have a choice.

Starmer has no choice.

We do have a choice.

It is delusion to think he has any choice, other than he chose to follow the pathway laid out for him by the British Colonial Wealth-as-Power Establishment and Oligarchy.

He was groomed for this role, he is a willing mercenary. He has his orders.

Those orders stem back to the decisions made by Balfour, H.H. Asquith (1908–1916), who led at the outbreak of war, and David Lloyd George (1916–1922) Bonar Law, (Oct 1922–May 1923) Stanley Baldwin, (May 1923–Jan 1924) Ramsey McDonald (Jan 1924–Nov 1924), Stanley Baldwin (Nov 1924–Jun 1929) and Ramsay MacDonald (Jun 1929–Jun 1935) and followed through with ever since, in a singular determined continuity.

The core of those decision is this - the creation of "a loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism" as Sir Ronald Storrs the first Governor of Mandatory Palestine put it. A British Wealth-as-Power Empire weapon of Partition, that would be in the field for hundreds of years.

A colony of Europeans with an insane pseudo-religious claim to colonise lands already inhabited by Arab peoples for thousands of years. The plan for a greater Israel, and exclusively Zionist Jewish State, was always part of their ideology. The insertion of a violent, enraged frontier buffer colony top thwart Arab speaking populations aspirations for unity, solidarity and self determination.

At the time Socialism was a hot topic amongst the workers and artisans of the entire world, and that included the Arabic speaking world.

The British and French feared the loss of Suez and the loss of Persian Oil would undermine their dominance, cut off their access to cheap resources and cheap labour and worst of all, enable the Global South to build a competitive industrial base that would outstrip the Europeans simply because the populations were so much larger - they knew that industrial development can happen at pace. They were adamant that that would not be allowed to happen.

Anglophone Billionaires

The current crop of British Wealth-as-Power or Anglophone Billionaires remain committed to that cause, not matter what cost to ordinary people anywhere and Fascism is their rear guard action as accountability for Climate Disruption and War Mongering looms large in the consciousness of those born after 1999.

Naivety, no more.

The expectations of British people indoctrinated into the mythical promise of British Democracy defeating the forces of Fascism in the last century while it still maintain a violent and cruel control over much of the 'ex-colonies' through political corruption, overt and covert violence are a trap. Waiting for the BBC to speak truth to power is futile. Waiting for the English Judiciary to hold any English War Criminal accountable is nonsense.

We must choose.

The only way forwards for the ordinary people is mass solidarity, general strikes aimed at disabling the Establishment, followed by elections of decent, honest people who will use the full powers of the State to hold the old sordid Establishment fully accountable all the way to The Hague.

It's a big ask, but the costs of not going for it are beyond imagination.

Ask anyone living in Southern Lebanon, in Gaza, in the West Bank, ask any survivors of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the wars of the past 26 years in Western Asia. They know what the true cost of British Democratic Power really is.

We do have a choice.

We need to unleash our fury and direct it into sustained political action, robust enough to make every effort of the billionaires to hold onto their political power a pointless exercise, a dead-end, a self incriminating campaign of constant failure. Accountability matters. Prevention of further harm to ordinary people matters.

The BBC, Kneecap, Genocide and the British Neo-Colonial Establishment

BBC cut the Kneecap Feed.
"we all know why."


Genocide is shameless. The British State is up to its sweaty neck in Genocide. It always has been. Most European Empires are similar, historically and currently. They don't end, they change their branding. They only people who can end their depravity are the home populations united in humane solidarity. You and me, and you neighbours. All of us.

All we are saying is uphold and enforce International Law.
BBC primary political task has ALWAYS been to protect the Ruling Class, the Aristocracy/Crown and the Neo-Imperial Oligarchy from being held accountable by the general population these three groups exploit....  from Jimmy Savile, Cyril Smith, Care Homes, Child Sexual Abuse in various institutional care settings, from Hillsborough to Grenfell, from to Iraq to the Genocide of Palestine (which started in 1915), from the General Strike of 2026 the BBC has been, alongside the Judiciary, MI5 and the Police Force tasked with preserving the English Ruling Class as its core political task as a news media provider.

The core task of the British Military is to keep the colonial assets under British Oligarchy control. They were not sent to Iraq right free you and I. They are not engaged in operations over Gaza to liberate you and I.

The Ruling Class greatest fear has always been and remains an awakened 'woke' majority of the people forming a political solidarity movement at pace and assuming a dominant elected position within the Legislature... which tells us what is required for the solution to this problem - we must void the duopoly of lefter/right Government/Opposition, that sordid divisive, corrupt facade of democratic functionality, through unity and solidarity at every level of democratic engagement - our cause has been clarified by the active participation in the Genocide of the Palestinian civilian population.
Those of us who have long read history honestly are saddened it has taken the witnessing of a live genocide to arrive at this point. We have been warning people all our lives.
The question for each and every adult now is when will you start this work?

We ordinary people would never spend our taxes on warfare, so neither should the democratically elected tax collecting Government.
The State could easily look after the disabled and eradicate poverty, enable free education to University level, develop long term social housing, transition away from fossil fuels, convert all industrial processes to cradle to cradle modalities, eradicating pollution and environmental degradation - all of which would be for the sake of our children and their children. All of them, everywhere.
All of this is eminently possible.
Two things impede it.
!. The grasp of Wealth-as-Power as a political dominator ideology.
2. The lack of evidence led empathy based humane Solidarity across the rest of Society.
The problems we face, outlined above, are not technically difficult to resolve.
No new information is required. We have it all right here.
Wealth-as-Power will not cede.
We MUST build the kind of grassroots Solidarity that takes Wealth-as-Power out of our legislatures..... they will still seek to control and deploy Wealth-as-Power, but without the State apparatus as their tool, they can be held accountable.
It is no longer sufficient for any of us to give up, to pretend the task is impossible and leave it at that. We are living witness to a clear as day genocide and all our Governments are fully participating - by refusing to uphold and ENFORE international law at pace and robustly they are breaking the law and are actively participating in the ongoing criminality.

Partition and Plantation as long term dominance planning through destabilisation. The 1000 year tradition.

It is not that history repeats, and lessons are not learned - it is that when it comes down to it, hagiography is a dishonest history and the Hierarchy Wealth Extraction bullies behave with the same patterns of behaviour passed from generation to generation, culture to culture, as their normalised behaviour and will do so until we ordinary healthy people organise politically to remove them from positions of Power and then start the process of holding them to account for their crimes before the Law, in courts. More than punishment the objective is to prevent future abuses of Power, to enable repair of harms to what ever degree is possible and to record an honest history.


Plantations in Northern Ireland 


Plantations on Turtle Island


Plantations in West Bank and Gaza -This 2024 event is in New Jersey, USA. 


Why the two state solution has died - from the Israeli/USUK perspective Palestine has all but vanished, and all the is left is the Palestinian people.
~
Partition : The policy of partition practiced by European Christian Wealth and Power Hierarchies  has fuelled identity based oppression and resistance.  That has been exploited by those Euro-Christian political hierarchies for at least 500 years. 

Plantation : 'Inviting' a settler population to occupy conquered land, with the objective of creating a bugger population who will assist in the erasure of the indigenous land tenure and polities.

Partition is a long term weapon, a stealth attack that exploits internalised identities, and sets neighbours against each other.  In this blog I am taking a brief overview of the long term impact of inserting a Partitioned Ethno-religious Colonising State into the Middle East as a long term destabilisation project.

This is not a detailed thesis - there are many others better versed in scholarship who can certainly offer a useful critique of this small pamphlet.

I am always interested learning more. I know I don't know how much I don't know. My take is that one must look at the behaviour patterns of Power, observe the outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable populations. I work on the  assumption that repeat patterns with similar outcomes at this level indicate conscious intentionality. They know the harm they will cause and they intend it to happen. At the very least they are careless as to the welfare of the colonised...


Trace each of these imposed borders deliberately splitting ancient ethnic groups, and setting them against each other  (Rwanda Genocide, South African Apartheid were a direct result of that policy).

The Europeans in Africa.


The British Empire in India - Bear in mind the Opium Wars, exporting drugs from India to China.


European colonisation of Southeast Asia   Portuguese Timor   Spanish East Indies   Dutch East Indies   French Indochina   British BurmaMalaya, and Borneo  Siam (Thailand)

Ireland was subjected to a series of 'plantations' - the introduction of a foreign population to take lands cleared violently of native peoples.


The English Ruling class perceive themselves as a 1000 year continuity since 1066. They think and plan long term is ways no electorate has ever been capable of.


Winston Churchill compares the Palestinians, as a people and as a polity, in 1937 to the dog in the manger after reading the Peel Commission which suggested partitioning British mandated Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. Churchill said of the Palestinians in 1937: 


Churchill summed up their attitude as follows :

 

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."


Straight up Racism. For profit.

This view defines every strategy and tactic deployed by White European Christian Powers to maintain their dominance, and it is for this that they undermined so many Governments across the global south.

The purpose of this was to ensure European control of cheap labour and cheap mineral and other resources, across the Global South, and to prevent those polities from ever developing independent economic models deploying their own resources for themselves, building economic systems which might stand as equals to the Euro-Diaspora Capitalist Economic model.


1. Why did the British Empire insert a Zionist Religious-Ethno state into the Middle East?


2. Look to all the other partitions and borders drawn by the British Empire. What did those partitions do to the indigenous peoples?


3. Look at the long term impact of those partitions and borders. What happened?


Tension between favoured and disfavoured groups, along religious or language group lines, caused by the splits across indigenous identities.


4. Internalised identity is felt by the person holding that sense of identity to be the very core of their psyche.


Any challenge to that very personal sense of identity is perceived as a direct existential threat.


Which leads to a fight or flight reaction. 


Emotional self regulation is shut down, the forebrain goes off-line, and an irrational level of fear and rage is triggered.


Look at the settler communities in each colony partition. Notice the self-righteous irrational extremes of violence.


Ammunition for violence, long term violence, centuries of violence, passed from generation to generation via identity.


5. In every partition we see long term tensions that span centuries, that disable the emergence of independent polities and economic systems. 


That is the  observed outcome and I suggest the ultimate objective of partition and arbitrary borders imposed on contiguous indigenous populations.


6. The Zionist project was inserted after 1917 because the Arab and Persian polities were sitting on the next new fuel - Oil. Oil became important after WWI because it became the fuel of Warfare: Navies had relied on coal and sail prior to WWI. 


It also became the fuel of mechanised infantry, air forces. It also became the feed stock for ammunition, and later on fertilisers and a range of synthetic products. An entirely new economy based on control of a single resource. The English had no known oil reserves in Great Britain. They had to get it somewhere.


7. Because the Empire is Racist, they detested the possibility that their inferiors - the Arabs and Persians (Iranians), the Chinese, the Africans and others might develop independent polities, and they also feared the emergence of independent economies that might stand as equals to the British, and even build different kinds of economies. Arab and African also Socialism emerged after WWI.


8. Spite and greed. 


9. Israel has generated violent tension in the Middle East in the same way Northern Ireland Plantations of the 1600s did in Ireland. 


9. Israel is not influencing the British Establishment - it has always been the other way around. 


10. The formation of The Zionist State has less to do with the Holocaust than we are led to believe. The Zionist project was initiated after the British Empire had defeated and dismantled the Ottoman Empire, during WWI.


The Holocaust - a most horrific murderous campaign of extermination of Jewish people in Germany and across Eastern Europe was in all honesty a European Christian crime, a continuation of centuries of horrific intentional oppression and violence perpetrated against Jewish Communities as a political strategy, that old sordid tactic of othering one group to distract the majority population from the abuses of the Christian establishment.  European powers did nothing much to prevent either phenomenon, Holocaust or Pogrom.


11. Just as they are doing nothing today to prevent the Palestinian Genocide. In spite of their claims to be the best and most moral upholders and representatives of Democracy on Earth, defenders of freedom and the stalwarts of International Law, etc etc etc.


12. However, for the British Establishment it looks better to suggest Israel is the malign influence - they can easily conflate anti-Semitism with anti-Zionist occupation and colonisation, and exploit European perceptions of guilt to protect their insert.

13. The only populations who can stop the UK Establishment are the UK population, and the same applies to the US and EU populations. However, the carefully curated divisions among us at this time make this impossible.

14. Humane solidarity that bridges the divides is the only trajectory we can develop to counter all this violence and abuse of Power. Intersectionality matters because it brings all forms of oppression under one umbrella. 


15. https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/league-of-arab-states-presentation-to-the-icj-by-ralph-wilde/


Full text of the Arab Leagues presentation before the International Court of Justice February 26 2024


"Palestine was legally a single territory with a single population enjoying a right of self determination on a unitary basis."


It is well worth reading the presentation, because it states the facts as they really are.


What do you think of this analysis?


~


also: Misogyny is a partition long term planning tool of dominance. Hence the reversal of Roe vs Wade in USA. Identity weaponised to garner votes to gain illegitimate access to democratic power.

The English Christian Ruling Class perfected Holy War as a Colonial process. Weaponising internalised identity.

The English Christian Ruling Class perfected Holy War as a colonial process.

Weaponising internalised identity.



Entirely innocent children, now scarred by Genodical assault upon their homes.


Christians Roming (sic) and then anti-Roming all over the place. 


An unforgivable pun, my dear reader. Please bear with me.


The British Empire perfected Wholy (sic) War as a tool of Colonisation. Another pun bites the dust.


The three 'C' propaganda - Christianity, Civilisation, Commerce. Whole War. Total War.


1159. The Norman regime Invades Ireland because they are Christian Heretics, to offer them conversion and Salvation or death. (permit to do so received from the Pope).


1600s Protestant Plantations in Ireland to remove the Catholics and building Protestant settlements to bolster English Dominance - deliberately foster internalised hatreds that become multigenerational and almost impossible to resolve peacefully.

1640s White Supremacy Racism as a legalised form of oppression, in the English American colonies. Superiority as an 
identity, passed from one generation to the other, an endless supply of weaponised hearts and minds.


When we as ordinary people internalise a religious identity and we are told that we are superior and that others are inferior, and that the Religion is under attack, we become weaponised objects of the Hierarchy that manipulates us.

Our internalised sense of identity enters into a permanent state of flight or flight, which we now know causes the emotional reactive parts of our brain to over ride the calming logical forebrain. 


Tony Blair’s ‘clash of civilisations’ tactic. He knew exactly what he was doing. The racists and xenophobes took the bait. The bystanders did not understand what was being done, and remained as bystanders. Many protested. Their protests were acknowledged to some degree - freedom of speech, democracy etc., - and their demands for peace and justice repeatedly denied within the Legislature. Muslims were stereotyped as Jihadi's or Misogynists in this 'war of values'. 


Middle class faux-Feminist pundits rallied to the cause, very likely well aware of how this issue was being manipulated.


Examine the history and see the patterns, and what I understand from my wide reading of the history and observation of what happens is that the Israeli colony was and remains an English Empire project built around the same principles .

They Empire expected  it will last long enough to prevent the Arab world (which was always multi faith, multicultural, multi linguistic, and always occupied) from ever developing an independent economic policy.  


It is not, as the Western conspiracy theorists assert that the Israeli State is influencing the British or the Americans, it is that all three are walking, hands joined, to maintain the process of  de-populating lands for expansion,  targeting already vulnerable and oppressed populations, who once had a thriving polity and socialist self determining aspirations.

Economic dominance was the objective. By force.

The English Diplomatic Corps worked to favour some groups and Arab polities, promising them a bright future, and oppressed others, by denying them that promised future, and that created the sectarian identarian tension that lasts generations, sustained by trauma that remains unresolved. 


Gaza in 2023/24 is the direct result of all that. Naqba to Naqba.


Racism is a tool of the hierarchy.

Sectarianism is a tool of the hierarchy.

Misogyny is a tool of the hierarchy.

Bigotry is carefully curated.


Ant-Semitism is a European phenomenon, a curated hatred of a vulnerable population designed to deflect anger at the hierarchy and re-direct it at those most unable to protect themselves.


The Ableism of our times is part of that dynamic. When Government minister undermine supports for disabled people and then suggest too many are leaching off the tax payer and that the disabled should ‘do their duty’, bigotry against a vulnerable population is weaponised as a political tool.


Churchill's 'Dog in The Manger' speech is instructive.

I used to alter the tag line from Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back - to 'Empower, it never strikes back.'

And every empowered people who are given the space, the resources and the tools of peaceful, democratic, equitable political, social and economic development to progress their general welfare will not strike back in violence. They have no need to. Until something happens to change that situation. Afghanistan prior to US Cold 
War interventions that brought down a nascent Socialist State. 


Russia was asked by the beleaguered Afghani socialists for assistance and protection from the USUK inspired counter-revolutionaries.


Russia made the error, went in with combat brigades, and the USUK created the Taliban to wear them down. 


All of this to prevent an independent non-aligned popular socialist state from emerging.


The resolution of the shituation in Palestine is in empowering both Arab and the Zionist colonialists to live together as humane beings, and that requires the dismantling of the Empire's interests in the region... in full. 


There's more that we who live within the Empires polity and have democratic voting rights and political rights of free association can do to help this progress - we can and must hold our Ruling Class to account for the harms that they have caused and are enabling. 


British support for Israel must be re-visioned by the British voters taking back control of their legislatures to legislate for peace and de-militarisation of foreign policy.


In essence the people who can best confront the British Establishment  and its depravity are the people who live within the borders of the United Kingdom, by democratic political action that removes the war makers from our legislatures and places a majority of peace makers and justice advocates in that body to uphold International Humanitarian Law and the UN Charter.... after all it is the British people whose taxes are being deployed to support an ongoing Genocide.


Clearly, the English Establishment will not voluntarily stand down.


This is no easy task, and it is much much easier than living in Palestine or the West Bank.

Letter to all elected members of Irish Dail and Seanad regarding South Africa's application the the ICJ

Who the hell votes against a ceasefire in a Genocide?


Mike Pence, former US Vice President, signing artillery shells in Southern Israel last week.




Dear representative,

The South African Government has made an application to the International Court of Justice, which rules on serious criminal offences between States, to initiate an indictment of the State of Israel for its current violent assault upon the people of Gaza, and the West Bank. They are asking that the courts rule on the situation, to charge it as an act of Genocide, to demand that all states party to the Genocide Convention take action to prevent this genocide from continuing, as International Law requires.

Ireland has ratified the Genocide Convention, as has South Africa and Israel, and most States around the world that form up the United Nations General Assembly.

It follows then, that the Irish Government, as a member of the UN, and in recognition of the long oppression of Irish people carried out by the English State and our in depth understanding of the history and adverse impacts of colonial conquest and genocidal actions designed to destroy the culture of the Irish, our language, our customs, culture, land tenure and polity by the English State, and later the British Empire, should support this application to the International Courts of Justice.

Can you please confirm that you will be taking the appropriate action to require the Irish State to uphold the Convention on Genocide, and other International Laws of War and the Humanitarian Law and join the South African application, to support it in full, without reservation?

Kindest regards

Corneilius Crowley (Irish Citizen)
