@JTCchannel sounds like you think i am irish. i am from germany and did this for a project at school ;-) got some trouble because they said i would support terror organizations.

[higglypiggly]

did i say that i like that the ira killed civilians? i support the ira until they started to attack civilians.

The IRA may have been classed as terrorists but yet magically beforehand they were seen as heroes who used partisan tactics. The problem large nations such as the US and UK have is that while they have a 'conventional' army smaller armies wont play by the big boy's rules. And when its war you don't play by anyone's rules but your own. Guerrilla warfare has been shown time and time again to be effective against a numerically superior foe

Remember well the 30th of January, The feeling of dread that was in the air. The people marched for their right to equality, They only wanted to be treated fair. Shots were fired my a mindless military, The people ran they were unarmed Across the world we will read of Derry And those who died by oppressive hands. 13 people lost their lives that Sunday, Women, children and innocent men. Many wounded lay crying in agony,

@higglypiggly the "white rose" was called a terror organization as well, back then :p

Well made video! This need to be shown on RTE and more awareness raised. I do believe the state of things in Ireland would improve if more people knew the truth.

If the IRA is considered a terrorist group then so should the founding fathers of America and their minutemen

I suggest reading The IRA by Tim Pat Coogan....lengthy book but it really gives you a good understand of what was going on.

[TulkorHAOMARUSH]

@higglypiggly Well they were different organizations at different time periods using the name. The oriignal IRA was much different than the Provos.

now no one likes the killing of civilians, but i understand where they came from. It was essentially as long as those people lived and supported their government (even if it was in ignorance) they would all remain targets. Essentially there really wasn't such a thing as a "civilian". I can see where they came from there.

The sheer number of groups that have called themselves the IRA in the past makes generalizations about them, good or bad, nearly impossible.
