Belfast: Us And Them

August 2009

Kilometres of graffiti-daubed concrete walls snake through Belfast. They divide Catholic neighbourhoods from Protestant. But do these Peace Walls keep the hatred and suspicion locked outside or inside?
The consensus among the locals is clear if the walls came down there would be a return to intractable sectarian violence. If you pull that wall down therell be murder, mayhem, therell be blood spilt, says a loyalist resident. The recent killings of two soldiers, a policeman and a Catholic community worker, indicate that trouble is still very close to the surface. Theres walls of prejudice; walls that were built here 300 years ago and they're still here in legislation, in prejudice and bigotry', tells Republican Sean McVeigh. 'So those are the walls that are going to have to come down first. Are the Peace Walls monuments to the past or vital and necessary peacekeepers in the present?

Belfast, the biggest sheeple ranch in the world. It's not a war about religion, names, status, jobs, culture, who owns the land etc...

It's about the Globalists. Their motto is divide and conquer. Once the depopulation plan goes into effect, they'll be the ones who rule on high. To all those in this region, you're all being used. You're all tools for the Globalists and eugenicists. Shake hands, get over yourselves and fight a common enemy.

@Samfar71 the orange order are sectarian.they have links to the k.k.k which they display on many of their banners.many of their members are also members of loyalist murder gangs.they also have links to rangers f.c. who inturn have links to the far right.they say that they should be allowed to march through catholic areas.yet they wont let catholic school girls walk to school through protestant areas.i know that my opinion is not the neutral point of view you ve been lookin for but its all true

@32IRISHPRIDE You have given a one sided view.Out of interest, How can labour left wing politicians dominate Glasgow when Rangers fans are right wing. Totally wrong on that.

My Family came to America From Belfast. My Father Loved Jesus Christ, and we were Baptists, some of our neighbors were Catholic, Anglican, whatever. We all had differing political beliefs, Democrat, Republican etc. We all Loved Jesus and obeyed HIS commandment that we should LOVE one another dispite our differences. WAKE UP stop hating and start obeying. I cant believe you act so horrible towards each other, you are all Mocking GOD.

More British propaganda. It's got nothing to do with sectarianism; it's about re-uniting Ireland; plain and simple. Martin McGuiness seems to have betrayed the Republican cause. Compromise is what cause Partition in the first place. Orange bastards are still marching through Republican neighbourhoods; so what's changed Martin? How does the so-called " Peace Process" re-unite all 32 counties? Is Sinn Fién a traitor.

WHAT HAS CHANGED?!
