Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday Report - AT LAST
"Jim, are you saying that Protestant families were not burned out of their homes?"
I am saying that following the treaty Protestant families were treated as equals in the Republic, whereas in the six counties Catholics became an underclass and were persecuted and terrorised as I described. The behaviour towards Catholics was the root of the troubles that followed.
During the recent troubles both sides took part in the internicene warfare that took place, which was caused, as I said, by the political situation in the six counties.
Why - are you saying anything different?
If so, let's hear it - with examples of course.
"This is about Saville, remember."
Stop wriggling Keith, The causes of Bloody Sunday date much further back than the Treaty even.
I find your protestations somewhat inconsistent. The regime you are supporting here is, at this very moment, using a battle that took place in 1690 to parade their superiority in the six counties, while the one you're ating as apologist for on the Israeli atrocities thread bases their behaviour on a two thousand year old myth.
