Episode 109 - Parallel Troubles: Ireland & the Middle East with Professor Larry Donnelly

We are joined this week by University of Galway Professor Larry Donnelly to discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict from a different angle (4:57-43:50). We began by comparing the reactions to the conflict in Western Europe, Ireland, and the U.S., and then dove into some of the history of the Troubles in Ireland, the eventual peace agreement, and the current state of affairs in Northern Ireland. We then debated whether there were any lessons from that conflict that potentially could be taken into the current conflict in the Middle East.
