FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda About one hundred rioters attacked the police with petrol bombs and firecrackers in the west of Belfast on Tuesday to protest against the Queen’s visit.
Irish Republicans staged a separate protest gathering against the Queen’s Jubilee visit by erecting a giant Irish tri-colour with message “ériu is our queen” on the side of Black Mountain, and also posters and grafitti across West Belfast.
At least one republican was taken to hospital after being beaten during the afternoon with hatchets and hammers by a gang of loyalists who were trying to remove sheets spelling out the slogan “Eriu is Our Queen” – a reference to a Irish Celtic warrior queen – and a massive Irish tricolour that could be seen from the air.
The loyalist attack prompted hundreds of republicans from various factions opposed to Sinn Féin to gather during the evening on the mountainside overlooking the city.
Earlier, a police helicopter was deployed to try to use down draft to blow away the giant flag and the slogan.
One republican veteran said “the call has gone out” to republicans across the city to restore the visual protest on the mountain even if it means clashing with loyalists from the nearby Springmartin housing estate.
The St James’ area and Broadway district have also been hit by rioting as republicans protest against the Queen’s visit.
