In what I posted I did mention that they were allegations, and in the article it points to where from. I also pointed out I’m not up on this case much beyond this one linked article, though I’ve heard about it over the years, and left the reminder too that her many children can never forget the loss of their mother, regardless of whatever peace process and its bilateral sincerity, or lack of. If you’re outraged at the IRA, fine, but calling them commies isn’t accurate or helpful to someone unfamiliar with this - they were called fascists during WWII when that was the more serious allegation. And there was, and is, a strong socialist element, but if we’re talking about the Provisional IRA as we are here, not the INLA or some other faction of militant Irish nationalism, it’s not a good fit. I’m sure you with your intelligence can think of better slurs to express your genuine, and shared, disgust with this killing.
The IRA had strong ties to the PLO and at one time to the Soviets. They have always been a bloodthirsty, murderous bunch, commie/fascist, what you will.
As I recall, I only suggested you read up on this case. The allegations are pretty strong - especially those of the late (and completely crazed) Dolours Price who drove the “getaway” car. This case has taken off within the last two years since the Boston “experiment” has come to light and writers from the left-wing Guardian to the historian Amanda Foreman have taken up the cause of Jean McConville.
It’s a compelling story. There are at least two books on it, if you are interested.
