John Wilson: Could Ireland benefit as climate change makes wine production difficult in warmer climes? We are likely to see a move to cooler regions and countries including Scandinavia, Britain and, yes, even Ireland

Yaay, can’t wait to see the Irish wine industry take off. We may have nothing to actually eat in future but we’ll hopefully be too hammered to care.

Make no mistake: Israel’s far right is planning for a Gaza without Palestinians | Ben Reiff Despite the ceasefire, Benjamin Netanyahu is capitulating to extremists who have no problem with ethnic cleansing. And they’ve found an ally in Donald Trump, says Ben Reiff of +972 magazine

You don’t need to read a history book to understand the utter horror of colonialism and ethnic cleansing, it’s happening right now, in plain view as US-backed Israel ramps up genocide towards its Final Solution.
