@Conor1960 @IrishTimes A lot of the sanctimonious coverage reminded me of Dermot Morgan’s Father Trendy.

@EoinPoil @rte @kevinbakhurst The mind virus in the Irish media is all-conquering. Facts don’t matter. Prosecutions don’t matter. There is one truth and it is theirs. Pity it is all self-serving lies.

@OdohertyI64991 @aldi_bourdain They are such an angry and obviously unhappy bunch. Seeing joy in others enrages them as it reminds them of how sad their existence is. Cheers to beers and laughs (like normal people) 🍻

@RachelMoiselle Ireland’s dirty little antisemitism problem is now on full show for the people of Ireland and the world to see. Will the media and political elite continue to have us believe the King is wearing clothes, when we can all see otherwise?

[John Costello @CostelloDiamond]

@Barrymurph The Irish media abandoned their journalistic integrity a long time ago when it comes to Israel. They are dominated by cheerleaders rather than journalists. Sadly.

[John Costello @CostelloDiamond]

@RachelMoiselle Sad and disgusting. But at least these bullies can’t help but show their true horrible selves. The majority in Ireland will see them for what and who they are.

@john_Byrne_1 @ilanYusim Ouch! That hurts 😂😂😂. Ireland’s mob is on the wrong side of history. And apparently, so are you kiddo.

To the #Ireland football team, so you're going to wear black armbands against #Israel on Sunday? I say good, wear them. Wear them, because you deserve to be marked out. Marked out in front of the world as the shameful immoral hypocrites you are. But you have forgotten something. The black armbands are incomplete. They are of course missing the #swastika. Don't worry, you still have time to sew them on. You can thank me later. After all, don't forget your team proudly played the Nazis in 1936 at Dalymount Park. You didn't consider protesting then. Your side even performed the Nazi salute in Germany in 1939 when everyone knew exactly what the Nazis stood for. Today you are their worthy heirs and you have not let your side down. Your moral standards have not changed one iota. Hitler would be proud of you. Your brains are truly in your feet, because they're certainly not in your heads. You claim to be protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza, but let's face it, what your entire side know about what's going on could fit on a postage stamp, because you are ignorant morons. Where were you on October 7th? Where were you when 1,200 innocent Israelis - including footballer Lior Asulin, murdered at the Nova festival, and footballer Yaron Zohar murdered fighting Hamas terrorist invaders - were slaughtered? I don't remember seeing any comparable gesture from your team for the Israelis massacred then. So, your protest is disgusting, performative and a national disgrace. You are cowards and you belong in the dustbin of history, like your team in 1936. Go to hell. #IRLISR #COYBIG (Image: German and Irish football teams, Bremen, 23 May 1939. Photographer unknown.

@hogotheforsaken Proof that one journalist in Ireland actually cares about moral integrity

[John Costello @CostelloDiamond]

@denniswmeredith 😆😆😆😆Kiddo, you are a tad out of touch.

[John Costello @CostelloDiamond]

@Glinner So there is one journalist in Ireland. But look at Matt Cooper’s uncomfortable expressions as he tries to play it safe to the mob.

[John Costello @CostelloDiamond]

@channingms1 Agreed. His use of that blood libel is unforgivable. Sadly, using blood libels in Ireland against Israel is commonplace. As an Irishman and as an Israeli citizen that scar runs deep.
