They might be partially correct in this thinking.There are a noticeable percentage of "Irish-Americans" who actively support the IRA.They give money..and some even assist in the procurement and delivery of weapons.One of my Dad's brothers,for example...his oldest brother...was a great guy but he *despised* the British.There are others like him here,certainly in Boston and probably in NY,Philly,etc.
The problem for the Irish is that they cannot face up to their own history of atrocities. They blame ALL Americans (not just Irish-Americans) for their troubles. Yes, indeed, stupid Irish-Americans gave lots of money to the IRA over the last 40 years and admire that butcher and mother-murderer, Gerry Adams. I hope they’ve woken up to reality! It’s another reason I’m glad Ted Kennedy is in his grave.
