An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
An important thread. The game should not be going ahead in Dublin or anywhere else. That the FAI are considering moving it to a neutral venue is a cop-out.

If you are neutral in the face of injustice, you are taking the side of the oppressor and the Irish football authorities can no longer stick their heads in the sand about hosting #Israel in the Nations League in October.
A thread.

Ireland should have been the first EU country to bring in this very smallest measure of sanction against Israel. If it was up to the Irish people we would have been. But Fianna Fail / Fine Gael were too afraid of upsetting the Yanks.
🚨This short film exposes the true story of Israel's creation, entirely through the words of its own founders
For decades, Israel’s lies have been carefully designed to demonize its victims. To ensure that no matter the crimes it commits, the children it slaughters, the world remains incapable of empathy for Palestinians, or at best, treats it with the same apathy that has allowed this to go on for as long as it has
On the 78th anniversary of its creation, it's time the world knew that Israel's past is not different from the brutal present the world is finally seeing
📻 RTE NEWS now:
The IDF issued evacuation orders for 12 towns in Lebanon "ahead of expected attacks on Hezbollah".
Total propaganda.
They are turning towns to dust based on religion & "your public service broadcaster" wilfully amplifies their lies.
Why? And who pushes this?
I don’t know if anyone will care about what I am saying, but the outside world must know exactly what is happening here… not later, but now.
What we are experiencing in Gaza has gone beyond the limits of human endurance. The camps have turned into a terrifying hotspot for the spread of diseases. With the beginning of summer and thousands of families crowded into extremely tight spaces next to garbage dumps, illness is spreading rapidly, as if it has become part of daily life. There is also an incomprehensible media silence regarding the scale of this growing health catastrophe, despite repeated warnings from medical teams and field workers.
Skin diseases, infections, and contagious illnesses are spreading widely, especially among children, in an environment that lacks the most basic conditions of hygiene or treatment. Rats are everywhere between the tents, insects are spreading heavily and causing continuous injuries, and there are no means of control such as poisons or pesticides. My nieces are part of this reality… their bodies are covered in painful bites that worsen every day without effective treatment.
The situation is collapsing with no real solutions. Medicines are scarce, disinfectants are almost nonexistent, and unsafe water is contributing directly to the spread of disease, while the healthcare system is beyond its capacity.
As of now, cases are estimated at around 160,000 people and still increasing, most of them children. This is not an exaggeration… it is a complete health collapse inside the camps.
It's extraordinary how Israel can go on a murderous rampage and steal land from three different countries at the same time and our leaders will look you dead in the eye and say Iran is the rogue state in the region
Israel is mass murdering people in Beirut because it is in a huff about the ceasefire with Iran. One of the most brutal societies that has ever existed while also somehow being one of the most pathetic.
