Forget Martyrs, Remember Victims - Bloody Sunday Prosecutions

God reading that is so incredibly similar to reading stuff about the IDF killing Palestinians. The cover ups, the lies, the belief that if the army killed someone that actually proves they were a terrorist. Israel's murder is on a more industrial scale but the basics are all the same.

Agreed. However has Israel an equivalent of Saville's Inquiry Report or Cameron's resulting apology?
I expect the soldiers referred will be tried. And as El Guapo suggested on a parallel thread, they're unlikely to be convicted. Too long has passed, witnesses died and so on.

Hope you're not including me in that catch-all, Reg. The slogans you list are widely used to refer the NI conflict, and don't necessarily reflect moral cowardice. Just to be clear though, I think trying the soldiers in this case is the right moral and legal decision.

And both Bloody Sunday and the massacres of Palestinians elicit similar whataboutery from moral cowards.

Thing is, the Right are already hopping and raging that there's going to be even one prosecution.
Here's Jonny Mercer MP on it: "An abject failure to govern and legislate, on our watch as a Conservative administration. When I speak of a chasm between those who serve and their political masters in this country, I mean this."

Regarding Dawn Foster's tweet, does that mean Soldier F is the only person being prosecuted because he was the only one who consistently lied throughout the inquiry? Immunity seems like a bloody good reason to fess up.

I didn't know what was more shocking, the facts in this article or the identity of the writer and publication :

I've clearly been ignorant of Murray's previous writing on the subject which I must remedy.

this piece about Frank Kitson British Army "counter insurgency" specialist in the British colonies of Kenya and Malysia and Northern Ireland and theorist of colonial war who inspired David Petraeus is really worth a read.Last edited by Nefertiti2; 16-03-2019, 13:31.

I am coming to the conclusion that the minimum force necessary to achieve a restoration of law and order is to shoot selected ringleaders amongst the DYH [Derry Young Hooligans].”
