I’ve spoken to individual Gardaí & asked why the ‘hands off’ approach? They have been told not to arrest far right thugs by HQ. The Minister for Justice needs to stand up for law & order. Alternative Pride gets stricter policing than these mobs of criminals. What’s that all about?

Tweet from Eoin O'Malley My university dcu has a masters degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies. The university library does not hold a copy of H Joyce Trans, but has any number of copies of Judith Butler’s works. That’s how seriously it takes activism over the pursuit of learning. With a reply from Childish Sambino: Helen Joyce is a mathematician. Her being on a course about gender would be like asking Kermit the Frog about astrophysics or Des O'Malley's son about standing on your own two feet and making your own way in the world

Searching for something on the nazi site and it's terrible the violence you come across, in fact I saw this actual cold blooded murder

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

We can do what we like and we don’t need to try to hide it.

To all the journalists who wrote about a “ceasefire” in Gaza, and about the “war” being “over”: don’t worry. This happened every other time too. And it will happen again. No consequences.

Ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a terrible decision – and a depressing one Barney Ronay The idea that barring the Israeli club’s supporters from Villa Park will de-escalate a volatile situation just doesn’t stand up

This is what it sounds like when liberals politely launder genocide.

But they can’t spend their 2 euro up north.

Not a single mention of the Palestinians and this is who Europe chooses to represent them. This world has gone to hell under leadership that is so corrupt it cannot acknowledge the humanity of an entire people.

I’m old enough to remember when Jimmy Carter solved the Israel-Palestine conflict. And then Bill Clinton. I was there the last time it was solved, by George W and Tony Blair. There is 0 per cent chance that Trump’s peace plan will do any better. Certainly not for the Palestinians.

I second this

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Ms Rachel has this to say on similar use of language by Obama

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

You go to bed dreaming of a Nobel Peace prize and wake up to find a guy with latex gloves Flawed and fragile as the ceasefire is, it could not have happened had Kamala Harris won the election

Does this mean we can’t have two pointers in the GAA anymore?

Our friend, poet and activist @sarahmaintains.bsky.social has been illegally detained by the IDF and is being held in an Israeli jail. There are reports of mistreatment and human rights violations. Please keep pressure on the Irish government and embassy to secure the release of Sarah and others. 🇵🇸🇮🇪

In case we weren't sure about the bias in a lot of mainstream media, Stern has this subtitle under an article.
"What does this mean for the hostages? And for Israel's army?"

It doesn't seem to matter at all what happens to Palestinians in Gaza

The videos* coming out of the peaceful protests in solidarity with Palestinians, in London, are hair-raising. Ordinary Brits, protesting genocide, being arrested for terrorism offences. This is the behaviour of a fascist states. The bravery of these ppl in standing for what they believe in*

A reminder that Heather Humphreys was not just a poor Minister for heritage and biodiversity, but actively worked to extend hedge cutting and burning of hill vegetation in to bird nesting season. Thankfully the next govt reversed this stupidity. #aras2025

Outsider voice of the people Maria Steen speaks to the press standing behind a collection of mics on a pavement. She looks pissed off and is wearing a fawn wool coat and holding a blue Hermes “Kelly” bag

Looking very displeased that the grubby heathen hoi polloi stymied her immaculate ascension, but if she needs a tissue to dab away a perfect tear, I’m sure she’s got some in that €20K Hermes bag she’s got there

Benny Gantz, Israeli "centrist" leader, comes out here in opposition to Palestinian statehood.

The fact remains that if you oppose Palestinian statehood, there are only three other options:
1. Permanent apartheid
2. Expulsions and ethnic cleansing
3. One binational state with voting rights for all
