Blueprints of Disruption

Resisting from Belfast to Gaza with Danny Morrison


Listen Later

We interview former political prisoner Danny Morrison to help compare and contrast the Irish nationalist movement of the 1960s-1970s, which most notably included the IRA, to the modern day Palestinian resistance. The historical, political, social and economic similarities are seemingly endless.

Many lessons can be drawn from Danny's 50+ years experience fighting against the British empire by any means necessary. He talks of a peoples denied every other means of 'home rule' or self determination. Of a movement created to defend their communities against both state and sectarian violence. And of how the Irish were politicized, organized and mobilized to victory.

Inevitably the discussion turns to the demonization of resistance, and how one should respond.
