Irish conspiracy theories about vote-rigging during June elections peaked around polling day A report has warned that this weekโ€™s general election could see similar claims by the far-right.

New report from @isdglobal.bsky.social outlines how Irish groups tried to push a 'stop the steal' narrative around the European and local elections in June.

Claims peaked after the broadcast moratorium, and the vast majority centered on false allegations of 'foreign interference'.

Last week, I had the privilege of being part of Reframe's audience, hosted by Fatima Bhutto, held at Al Jazeera Media Network in London, focused on Gaza.

We heard from Dr. Victoria Rose, a British plastic surgeon whoโ€™s worked in Gaza, and Yuli Novak, Executive Director of B'Tselem.

The NYT, instead of editing the caption of a video to show that it was Maccabi fans engaged in violence, removed it, claiming they did so at the original photographer's ( @iannet.bsky.social ) request.

NEW: Israeli authorities have caused massive, deliberate forced displacement of Palestinian civilians in Gaza since October 2023 and are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
