Sinn Féin voted against their own Cost of Living amendment in the Dáil this week.

It took Aontú to explain their mistake and save their blushes.

This isn’t just about “property rights.”

This land is the Jewish people’s ancestral homeland, the birthplace of their faith, identity, religion, and collective memory for over 3,000 years.

The Jewish people didn’t voluntarily leave. They were violently expelled. That doesn’t cancel their connection.

Beyond that, the State of Israel was legally established in 1948 under international law, the same law that created Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. If those countries are legitimate, then Israel is too.

Both historically and legally, the Jewish claim to this land is solid.

Ancient Israel Never Died

This isn’t about defending Israel. This is about confronting a dangerous lie that has been spread for centuries, a lie that denies Jewish history, erases Jewish identity, and paves the way for violence.

The claim that “modern Jews have no connection to this land” and that Israel is “just colonialism” is not new.

It’s the same lie I heard from Hamas members, the same lie taught in Palestinian textbooks, and the same lie rooted in certain Islamic texts that seek to cancel Jewish connection to Jerusalem and Judaism itself.

The truth is simple:

The Jewish people were violently expelled from their land. Despite centuries of exile under Roman, Arab, Muslim, and Ottoman rule, they preserved their language, their Torah, their law, their calendar, and their unbreakable bond with this land.

When the Ottoman Empire collapsed after WWI, they returned home.

This was never colonialism.
This was continuity.

Denying this history doesn’t just delegitimize Israel, it removes any MORAL RESTRAINT on those who wish to destroy it.

Lies like this are the root of the violence we see today.

Stop the presses: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) @pressfreedom has launched a full review of its "journalists killed in Gaza" list - and just showed board member @Nikasoonshiong the door.

This didn't happen by accident.

It happened because HonestReporting helped put them in an untenable position. 🧵

This article is predictably weak on history, and woeful on the facts.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and war and has an abysmal human rights record.

Saying all of that, it was this that struck me:

“The annual rent for the premises is US$270,000 (€237,000). Since 2021, €394,300 has been spent on the project to deliver an Embassy premises and official accommodation for the Ambassador.There has also been expenditure of a further sum of more than €875,600 on “office premises”.

The Mullahs know how to charge and it appears no bother for the Irish Government to pay!

Paul Murphy won't take questions from gript but will happily jump at the opportunity to go on government media like RTE but it's no surprise considering his uncle was high up there. Privately educated Paul has made a comfortable career pretending he's something he's not.

It's simply a matter of lying by omission and trying to justify it👇.Can you imagine a mindset that bases its reasoning on fear of the response rather than on the truth of the situation? That's some seriously fu*ked-up logic.

Donald Trump Fell Into Iran’s Trap

I say this as someone who supported @realDonaldTrump from the beginning in 2015, when the political class, the media and many Republicans considered him a joke. I did so because I believed he understood something others did not: that strength matters, that weakness invites aggression, and that peace is achieved by making your enemies fear the consequences of attacking you.

That is why it is so painful to watch him completely misread the Iranian regime.

DJT is one of the world’s greatest negotiators. He built an empire, won an election everyone said was impossible, reshaped American politics and succeeded where generations of diplomats failed by bringing several Arab countries closer to Israel. But there is a fundamental difference between negotiating with rational actors seeking prosperity and negotiating with a revolutionary regime whose identity is built around hatred.

Iran is not the UAE, Morocco or Bahrain.

Tehran’s rulers are not trying to maximize shareholder value or improve economic growth. They have spent four decades funding terrorism, destabilizing the M-East, threatening Israel, spreading anti-Americanism and building a network of proxies stretching from Gaza and Lebanon to Yemen. The idea that such a regime can abandon its objectives through negotiations has always been based on a misunderstanding of what it is.

Most frustrating is that the Iranians achieved exactly what they wanted. They could not destroy Israel through Hezbollah. They could not break Israeli society after October 7. So they pursued another objective: creating friction between Jerusalem and Washington.

Instead of helping @POTUS understand that Iran remains the source of the problem, they convinced him that Israel’s determination to defend itself was somehow the obstacle to peace. From Tehran’s perspective, that is an extraordinary strategic success.

Most shocking of all is watching President Trump publicly lecture Benjamin Netanyahu as if he were speaking to a reckless politician who does not understand the consequences of war. With respect, Donald Trump is speaking to a man who has spent decades carrying responsibility for his country’s survival. He is speaking to a leader who served his nation, led Israel through wars and understands the Middle East better than any Western leaders ever will.

More importantly, he is speaking to a nation that survived exile, persecution, pogroms, the gas chambers and countless attempts at annihilation. He is speaking to a people that rebuilt a sovereign state after two thousand years, defeated invading armies after declaring independence and once again stood up after October 7 with resilience any nation on earth could have demonstrated.

Israelis do not see existential threats as theoretical debates. We do not have the luxury of making mistakes when people openly promise our destruction. History taught us that when enemies tell us what they intend to do, we must believe them.

I remain grateful for everything Donald Trump has done for Israel, and history will remember many of his decisions as courageous. But gratitude does not require silence. No American president would accept missiles being launched at American civilians from Mexico or Canada while being told to exercise restraint and trust those responsible. Israel should not be expected to accept a standard the United States would reject immediately.

The reality is simple: Israel is not for sale, Israel’s security is not negotiable, and Israel’s independence will never depend on the approval of any foreign leader, however friendly he may be. We appreciate our allies and welcome their support, but ultimately remain responsible for our own future.

As PM @netanyahu said, if Israel must stand alone, it will; if it must fight with its fingernails, it will. Thank God, today we have far more than fingernails.
