The appallingly unfair #MotherandBabyHomes ‘redress’ scheme is before the Seanad again this Tuesday.

It entirely excludes most people born in the institutions.

#Israeli Journalist #GideonLevy explains he had been brainwashed.
The BRUTALITY #Israelis inflict on #Palestinians is CRIMINAL.
#Israel IS AN #Apartheid:

2 Discriminates its #Palestinian Citizens
3 OCCUPIES Palestinians in #WestBank & #Gaza

1. Women lawmakers are banned from showing their bare arms.
2. Women lawmakers are required to cover their dress with a “second layer”.

The road to the Handmaid’s Tale world is lined with people telling us to stop overreacting.

A lot of people in this thread are saying: “Yeah, it’s cringeworthy, but what’s specifically wrong with this?”

@franklinleonard laid it out perfectly but there’s another question that needs to be asked.

Why are you reading this thread?

A thread.
