Ireland’s abundant meats, livestock, and other foods, though produced by the Irish were claimed by the landlords. Upon international failure of potato crops, Ireland’s failure starting in 1845, Ireland’s food producers fiercely resisted police and militia efforts to remove it to the ports for export. Regular army deployments into Ireland increased to 34 regiments in 1845 and to 40 in 1850. “Black ‘47” was the food removers’ most active year. Deployment lag time explains the 1848 peak of 35.4 regiment/years. More than half of Britain’s standing army removed Ireland’s foods; 67 regiments of its total of 126 regiments and two brigades. For reference, this was more military force than was used during Britain’s conquest of the Indian Subcontinent (today’s India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh).
On July 5, 1847, in the depths of the Irish genocide, Lord Clarendon wrote from his Vice-Regal Lodge in Phoenix Park to Prime Minister Lord Russell; “Sir Edward Blakeney says that the Country is tranquil and if it were not for the harassing duty of escorting provisions, the troops would have little to do.”
The (London) Times’ contemporaneous reports of increased landings of Irish food in English ports are accessible in detail on-line.
The genocidal mass evictions and robbery of crops continued until the Land League, Boycott, and international outrage forced England to buy out its landlords from Ireland in 1900-1920. The vast estates were “striped” into typically 28-acre survival farms with an acre or two of the nearest bog for fuel and allocated to the Irish cultivators of the soil. So munificent; so far above market price, was that “golden handshake” to the departing landlords that the amortization period was set at 68.5 years. Thus my (Chris Fogarty) father and all of our neighbors in Co. Roscommon and obviously the rest of Ireland, were paying off that old “debt” into the 1970s. Ireland’s farmers paid semi-annual Rates (taxes) and those “Rents.” Ireland’s centuries of imposed destitution ended upon the end of that “Rent” payment.
In 1932 Ireland’s Fianna Fail gov’t under Taoiseach Eamon de Valera withheld the annual £4 million rent to London. Britain retaliated with an embargo on Irish goods, but it faded approaching WW2.
I later mad a brief search for the evidence of the funerals of the 1400 deaths of Jews in Kibbutz and images of the number kibbutz in the region of the attack. Their was no evidence of many funerals and no evidence offered from the thousands of survivors of the music frestival,
however I did find this comment.``

Were the houses really blown up by Hamas or by Israeli tanks and hellfire missiles (Similarly the burnt out cars at the music festival) as per the Hannibal Directive policy of indiscriminately killing everything that moves ? Why was the Gazan border brigade moved to Huwara ? Why was the music festival moved closer to the Gaza fence ? Why were warnings from Egypt ignored ? Why did the IDF take 6 hours to get there?Israel is currently run by a government of racist ethnic cleansing psychopaths . What was the true role of these dreadful people that has finally given them carte Blanche to kill thousands upon thousands of uninvolved civilians NONE of whom have ever been used as human shields .
Why has no underground Hamas HQ been found under the massacred hospital ? Only Israel’s own , clearly derelict tunnels from 1983?
