When Dev was giving a speech, the Volunteers wore their dark green uniforms and Hurleys instead of rifles (as a troll basically)

Breen, again like O'Malley, noting the hostility towards the Volunteers who decided not to fight for Britain Here, there was a parade with Pearse present in May 1915 where a hostile crowd pelted them with garbage, Breen said he and the lads contemplated…
Post-1916 and during the last great German offensive in WW1 which cause the British Government to pass the conscription act to ''Constript the Irish'' , many were now rushing to the Volunteers as Breen notes ''9/10s of able bodied men between 16-50 became Volunteers''
However, once the armistice came, many the left the volunteers:
''The small number that remained was of more use than a conglomeration of half-hearted soldiers. This select few meant to fight for independence. The others had been thinking only of saving themselves from the trenches of France; they believed, as did the old political leaders, that Ireland’s freedom was not worth the shedding of one drop of blood.''

John Mitchel on how Ireland could have avoided the Famine if O'Connell had launched a rebellion at Clontarf.
‘You little know the history and sore trials and humiliations of this ancient Irish race; ground and trampled first for long ages into the very earth, and then taught - expressly taught - in solemn harangues and even in sermons, that it was their duty to die, and see their children die before their faces, rather than resist their tyrants, as men ought. [...] But I tell you the light has at length come too them; the flowery spring of this year is the dawning of their day; and before the cornfields of Ireland are white for the reaper our eyes shall see the sun flash gloriously, if the heavens be kind to us, on a hundred thousand pikes.’
John Mitchel, United Irishman, 13 May 1848

This is just a few comments, there's over 300 of them under that Jerusalem Post article spewing Anti-Irish & Catholic vile and crying for Ireland to be annihilated, some saying that Ireland needs more Muslims and ''Israel can take full advantage of this by encouraging Palestinians to move there en masse. ''
They are openly mocking Ireland and calling for it to be destroyed while they also cry out about Anti-Semitism
