NEW: #Irish Times reports an ageing Russian tanker, Blue, carrying sanctioned crude from near St Petersburg, has entered Irish waters under a false Benin flag, without insurance or safety papers. The 22-year-old vessel, part of #Russia’s shadow fleet switched off its tracking before entry. Weeks ago, reports warned of a surge in such tankers bypassing the English Channel via Ireland’s west coast to evade UK monitoring.

"In rejecting the allegation by a powerful Trump ally that the Occupied Territories Bill illustrates how Ireland is heading down an 'anti-Semitic path' (Republican Senator Jim Risch), the Taoiseach might be tempted to explain that Irish and American anti-fascists fought together against anti-Semitism during the Spanish Civil War. Additionally, in October 1936, ten weeks after the generals rebelled against the elected government in Spain, Irish and Jewish immigrants in London defeated Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists in the Battle of Cable Street.

As the Blackshirts prepared to march from the Tower of London through what Mosley described as a 'Jew-ridden and communistic' East End, barricades were erected to block them at Cable Street.

The large Jewish community in the area, mostly refugees from pogroms in Tsarist Russia, lived alongside Irish immigrants, who were mainly dockers. The anti-fascists, locals and reinforcements, chanted 'they shall not pass' – the slogan of the Spanish Republic – and prevented mounted police from forcing a way through for the march.

Mosley, a rising star in British politics, with influential backing from the Daily Mail, never recovered from this.

(. . .)

Max Levitas, a Dubliner who grew up in Portobello, known as 'Little Jerusalem', participated in the Cable Street engagement, with his trade unionist father and older brother Maurice. The Jewish Levitas family had moved to London during the Great Depression, and Maurice joined the Irish unit in the International Brigades – which recruited young people around the world to serve in the armed forces of the Spanish government.

The Irish initially joined the British battalion, and some later transferred to the American Abraham Lincoln battalion. About one in three of these US volunteers were Jewish.

(. . .)

Both the American and British battalions suffered heavy casualties at the Battle of Jarama in 1937. Frank Ryan, the Irish unit’s commander, was wounded and travelled home to convalesce. But, as others did, he went back to Spain, knowing that the war could not be won.

Following Franco’s victory in 1939 – military assistance from Hitler and Mussolini proved to be crucial – Ryan remained a prisoner when almost all of the British and American prisoners were repatriated.

Condemned to death, Ryan had a stroke of luck when a New York Times correspondent mentioned him in two reports. In prison with fellow 'Internationals', American comrades remembered him as an 'inspiring figure” with a 'commanding personality'.

Lou Ornitz, moved from prison to prison, and lucky to be alive as so many others had been executed, remembered Ryan’s courage. 'One night he was taken out and as we said good-bye he told us to sing Kevin Barry, and we did as he was led away. He came back a few hours later and I thought he was a ghost.'"
