I wonder what "Irish American Zionist" Joe Biden thinks of this?

Actually it goes back farther.

The IRA was trained, in part, by the PLO.

The early anti-guerilla operations by the British in Palestine, before Israel was a state but when Palestine was fighting Zionists (literally what they called themselves, with a stated goal of just taking over Palestine and getting rid of the native population which includes Palestinian Jews), were just "well the Crown says we can't do this in Ireland but they're not looking here in Palestine."

This includes literally tying Palestinian captives to grilles or loading them onto forward-mounted trailers in a convoy to act as human shields. This includes retributive strikes against guerilla's families and friends.

Ireland has a HELL of a good reason to be close to Palestine, because it literally actually happened to them.
