This is an outrageous slur by Adam Boulton on Sally Rooney and Irish people. Our support for Palestine is rooted in solidarity, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, and of course simply being against apartheid Israel's genocide. Let's hope Sally Rooney has called her lawyers.

Just to be clear, Boulton is clever & resourceful enough to research both Irish history & the reasons many people in Ireland are pro-Palestinian & against the genocide in Gaza. It does not benefit or enhance his career in the British media to question the role of Britain in both Ireland & Palestine.

It's nothing to do with age IMHO. There's a certain type of British media commentator, & Adam Boulton is a classic example, that revel in their ignorance of Ireland & its long & tortuous history (particularly the role of Britain). The lack of intellectual curiosity of an Oxford University graduate?
