So the Sinners link themselves link themselves to the Palestinians and then the Loyalists link themselves to the Jews. Excellent. Fair play to them. Except have they not gotten it the wrong way around. The Jews people have an acient historic claim to (some) of that land, proven in various doucments. Just like the Irish people have to the north of Ireland. It was once the most Irish part of Ireland. To call the Jews settlers is a bit inaccurate.
Haven't the Palesintinians or Arabs been in Palestine for as long as the Gaelic people have been in Scotland and the Anglo-Saxons have been in England. I'd say they've got just as much a claim as on Palesine as the Jews.
