Great Irish Famine historians issue St. Patrick's Day statement on Gaza (IrishCentral, 2024-03-15)

"As historians of the Irish Famine, we are conscious of the horrific effects of mass starvation, including the trauma it leaves in its wake. ... we are alarmed at its imminence in Gaza, and are strongly urging here that every possible step be taken to prevent it.

"As a descendant of Great Famine survivors himself, and with the capacity to influence the situation, President #Biden carries a particular responsibility..."

"More than with most famines, this is an avoidable #catastrophe. With its restrictions on the distribution of food aid, water, and medical supplies, Israel is manifestly causing famine as it wages war. In this, it is facilitated by the United States, which continues to arm Israel and give it political cover through the use of its veto at the UN Security Council.

Choctaw and Irish History

Two ancient peoples. A modern-day connection. Nothing divides the Choctaw people from the Irish except for the ocean.

Much has been written about emigration from Ireland. Little has been written about immigration to Ireland, even tho it's had a significant impact on the island over the centuries. It's possible that some of my ancestors were Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal who settled in southern Ireland in the 16th century. Looking forward to learning more.
