Washington had to make a crucial decision when the #warofindependence wasn’t lost at the onset

It is clear to me that #Palestine and its #UnityOfFields is capable of winning its #WarOfIndependence against the Zionist entity. It is also clear to me that the West which benefits from the occupation would not change its ways till it is all over for them.
Under these circumstances, I think the need for people in the West to demand humanity from their gov't is not to save Palestine but, to save their own soul from a terrible, irrecoverable rot!

Tom Barry was born on 1st July 1897 Killorglin, County Kerry. He was a prominent guerrilla leader in the IRA during the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War. He is remembered for the Kilmichael ambush, in which he and his column wiped out a 18-man patrol, killing sixteen. He continued to be part of the IRA after the civil war and served as its commander-in-chief in 1937, during which he opened contacts with Nazi Germany.

I’m watching TV series ‘Franklin’ on Apple+. I zone-in anytime they mention British General Burgoyne. After his pivotal military failure in America, he eventually ended up in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham as Commander-in-Chief of Crown forces in Ireland. A bell was cast for him in Dublin but it was too heavy to hang. 🔔You can still see it on your way to the IMMA cafe with his name on it. #TBT #Burgoyne #GentlemanJohnny #WarOfIndependence #RoyalHospitalKilmainham #Mastodaoine #Franklin #AppleTV

2/2 This was the area where #JamesConnolly recruited the Citizen Army; many of the desperately poor people from this triangle made the core of the 1916 Rising; afterwards, they stood too ready to join the #WarOfIndependence, but the #IrishVolunteers continually told them "We'll ask you when we need you" - they were excluded in the Free State and are now excluded in the Republic

The most brutal thing about the Irish Free State's refusal of a proper pension to Thomas Bryan's widow is that they did not properly investigate her claim that he had been at the terrible fight around Clanwilliam House, Mount Street, in the 1916 Easter Rising, and refused her a 1916-connected pension. Here he is listed in the Active Service Unit involved in that fight https://www.militaryarchives.ie/collections/online-collections/bureau-of-military-history-1913-1921/reels/bmh/BMH.WS0127.pdf#page=14 #ThomasBryan #Executed1921 #WarOfIndependence #1916Rising

@valoisdubins The British took a deliberate decision to try and brutalise the Irish into submission, much like the Russians are trying in Ukraine. It had the opposite effect in Ireland of stiffening the Irish opposition. The same is clearly happening in Ukraine.

Many civilians reported being beaten, shot at, and robbed by British forces. Firefighters testified that British forces hindered their attempts to tackle the blazes by intimidation, cutting their hoses and shooting at them. 2/2

The burning of Cork by British forces took place on the night of 11–12 December 1920. It followed an IRA ambush of a British Auxiliary patrol. In retaliation, the Auxiliaries, Black and Tans and British soldiers burned homes near the ambush site, before looting and burning buildings in the centre of Cork. 1/2

“They crossed the Delaware [river] in safety” from “The American Boy’s Life of Washington” (1870). No, i don’t know why girls couldn’t read it. They were better off not reading it in some ways, as it casts the civil war/uprising that led to American independence as Americans vs British, forgetting even Washington himself was English.

@mandypg I don't know about specialist knowledge, but I've researched my own Loyalist ancestor, who was an artificer and was for a while stationed at Carleton Island with Leek's Independent Company. Most of the records I've used came from the UK National Archives, but there is a lot of Loyalist stuff in Library and Archives Canada too. #LoyalistAncestor #WarOfIndependence #Genealogy #CarletonIsland
