On Saturday 18th February, the Irish Gaelic language group, ‘Dream Dearg’ (Red Crowd, red as in angry) organized a demonstration in Newry calling for an Irish Language Act, designed to ensure respect for the native Irish tongue, as well as facilitating those who wish to conduct their day-to-day business through the medium of Gaelic. The […]
With elections looming in the Irish Occupied Six Counties (OSC), and given the inherent hostility that exists between the various parties, I was persuaded into thinking of the manner in which warring forces of the ancient world often chose to settle their disputes. Rather than have two opposing armies slaughter one another, with resultant massive […]
It has been reported in the Jerusalem newspaper, Haaretz, that the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, Ze’ev Boker, recently sent a warning back to the Israeli state regarding an expected move by the Dublin government to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Although both Irish Houses of Parliament, known collectively as the Oireachtas, overwhelmingly passed a […]
It’s colder now, and wetter. The men stand nervously huddled within the shadowy chamber. They lightly restrain their drugged victim, as a steadily weakening sun falls ominously to mark the end of the year. The climate has cooled, the crops are yearly failing. To appease their fickle deities the tribesmen must make a powerful sacrifice. […]
Recently I had cause to recall a visit I made to New York city some years ago. On the day in question, I had visited a diner to get a bite to eat and had just sat down when I was approached by a fresh-faced, pleasantly attractive waitress. The exchange went as follows: – […]
I constantly read and hear the term ‘The British Isles’ employed to describe the islands of both Ireland and Britain. This is a colonial misnomer. Ireland is not, never was and never will be British regardless of the wizened wishes of a discontented minority upon the island of Ireland. Of the six nations within these […]
As I browse both newspapers and online platforms, I am regularly saddened to see confused contributions from certain obtuse individuals in relation to the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I suspect that each of this small handful of Ulster Unionist commentators will have a complete and unrelenting command of ‘The Sash’. This aspect of their character […]
It was with resignation that I read the recent Irish News article entitled, ‘Israeli forces evict Jewish settlers from Palestinian land’ (Feb 2nd). The story concerned the eviction of 250 illegal settlers from the Amona settlement in the Occupied West Bank. The narrative attempted to portray the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, as something of a peacemaker […]
With the inevitable and continuing failures of the Stormont Executive, and the resultant debate surrounding political arrangements for the Occupied Six Counties, Rebel Voice wishes to publicly weigh in with a suggestion regarding the future of this beautiful part of Ireland. Whilst many of the ideas that have already been presented as a solution have smacked […]
The following letter to the Irish News paper, in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland, was not published. The paper has a reputation for refusing to publish any letters that criticize editorial content. Such insecurities should be exposed. It is also a paper with strong links to the Catholic Church, which has always been (insofar […]
The Israeli state was created in 1948 by foreign nationals whose ancestors (in some cases) are believed to have resided in the land of Palestine. These descendants returned to the region with the intention of taking the territory from the indigenous people and expelling them in the process. In most instances the Zionist migrant families […]
The following letter was sent to the newspaper, The Irish News, the leading Nationalist publication in both the Occupied Six Counties and the northern half of Ireland, by a regular follower of Rebel Voice.. The paper has on occasion published reports with a decidedly pro-Israeli bent. It is also a fiercely Catholic paper. We, at […]
