The Unionists/Protestants would have a point if the IRA were in the habit of singling out their victims on the grounds of their politics/religion the way the Unionist back Loyalist death squads did.
But apart from one notorious incident the morning after and in the same neighbourhood as where a Catholic family had three* members killed for no other reason than they were Catholics the IRA didn’t kill Unionists/Protestants because of their politics or religion. Indeed quite an amount of victims of the IRA were Catholics.
Of course if you actually studied Irish History and the IRA of the 20th Century, you’d have known that.
And the Wolf Tones are the only ones I know who wrote a song in praise specifically of Protestant men who fought for Irish nationhood. Hardly the actions of a sectarian band
*But for the fact that many of the Reavys decided to leave their house to go on a spin and visit a relative just beforehand, the death toll of that utterly sectarian loyalist attack by members of the Glenane Gang could have been far far higher
Was that "incident" the one when the Provos stopped a mini bus carrying workers, let the two Catholics free and proceeded to coldly murder the Protestant workers?
