Answer: Only to the British who refuse to give Ulster back to Ireland and deny that the British brutally oppressed the Irish. I admit that racially the English upper classes are racially similar to Germans, being of Germanic blood, while the Irish are obviously Celt, but spiritually the Germans are much closer to the Irish, who love their home and the land which they proudly fight for, which is similar to the German pride and love towards Germany, contrasted to the British who are a bunch of plutocrats who fight for no higher goal other than money and think the most Jєωιѕн amongst Germanic peoples. So yet again considering the British treated the Irish as merely serfs sent to fight England's battles, along with atrocities by the British in Ireland, is it really the IRA that is a hate group or is the British themselves who hate the Irish? I will go with the latter.

Known Atrocities by the British in Ireland:

The Assassination of the Lord Mayor of Cork

"On 10 March 1920, the IRA's 1st Cork Brigade shot and severely wounded RIC District Inspector McDonagh near Sawmill Street in Cork City. On 16 March, the Brigade's Officer Commanding, Sinn Féin Lord Mayor of Cork Tomás Mac Curtain, received a letter from the RIC on captured Dáil stationary. The letter read, "Thomas MacCurtain prepare for death. You are doomed."

At 10:40 PM on 19 March 1920, the 1st Cork Brigade fatally shot off duty RIC Constable Joseph Murtagh, who was returning home following a visit to the Palace Theater. Even though Constable Murtagh's assassination had been carried out against the Lord Mayor's orders, RIC District Inspector Oswald Swanzy ordered immediate retaliation against the commander of the local IRA.

Shortly after 1:00 AM on 20 March 1920, eight RIC personnel with blackened faces arrived at Mac Curtain's residence, which was located above his flour and meal business at 40 Thomas Davis Street. After the Lord Mayor's wife opened the door, one of the policemen demanded that her husband come out. As the Lord Mayor stepped out of the bedroom in his pants and night shirt, he was fatally shot in front of his wife and five children.[55]

Despite his having held senior rank within the IRA, the assassination of Tomás Mac Curtain shocked people throughout Ireland, where "many a person who was far away from the scene of the tragedy felt the awful deed in his own presence."

I'm pretty sure that I just read recently about a highly respected Irish traditional Cathlic priest or saint that had serious issues with the IRA, but I cannot remember who he was.

Depends on your point of view; Some might say Orange Men are terrorists.

Quote from: wikipedia

The Twelfth (also called Orangemen's Day) is a celebration held on 12 July by the Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organisation originating in late 18th century Ulster. It celebrates the Glorious Revolution (1688) and victory of Protestant king William of Orange over Catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne (1690), which began the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland.

With the euro, Sinn Fein and the mosques in Ireland, the Brits and even the Orangemen will be the least of Ireland's problem.
Also, they cried about sex abuse from clergy then turn around and give a standing ovation to sodomist priest who came out during NO mass.

Didn't the IRA try to take over Ireland and join the Axis in WW2?

I will admit that the race problem in Ireland is a major issue as is the racial inter-mixture of Irish Celts with Germanic English. I just have made the point that the English still refuse to give Ulster back to Ireland, which is a travesty.

It does not matter what they tried to do. What matters is that they are trying to liberate Ireland from the British oppressors who consider them lower than Serfs.

Going back, I think I remember that it was Fr. Denis Fahey that was against the IRA. I can't dig up a link at this time but will revisit this thread later.

I would be very interested in the reference. Fr. Denis Fahey associated with Fr. Edward Cahill, both keenly aware of the forces opposing Our Lord, the Christ, Jesus.

" As a result, Fahey was strongly opposed to the Irish Republican Army, which he claimed was a communist organisation."
