I've never heard about any secret bombings carried out by the British secret service in Ireland, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if dirty tricks were used to discredit 'the other side'. The South African secret service did the same thing to discredit the ANC.
If true, the point is that it was SECRET. The British government would have known this was a shameful and illegal act and, if they had been found out, would have been rightly condemned round the world AND THROUGHOUT BRITAIN. The Israeli government, on the other hand, is quite open about their bombings of Palestinians, and this is cheered on by most Israelis and Americans.
There's something morally abhorrent about that.
