@Una_McGurk Impressive as in makes an impression? Yes, but not in a good way. Extreme religious fundamentalism supports only dogged black & white thinking, and strives to oppress independent thinking, and to exclude compassionate behaviour, on both individual & societal levels.
@SpoilTheVoteHQ Since neither managed to obtain enough support to even get their name onto the ballot paper, I feel that this is a hypothetical question that doesn't need any consideration, and giving it any is a complete waste of time.
@SenatorKeogan She is not prepared to put in the work, and cries foul when her sloppy & poorly considered eleventh hour attempt to get nominated for the highest post in the land fails. Clearly not what Ireland or Irish politics needs.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in his speech to the UN today: "We want a modern civil state, free of violence, weapons, and extremism—one that invests in people, technology, and education, not in wars and conflicts."
During our successfully conducted visit today to Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was arrested in December 2024 and remains incarcerated in Israel, a serious and alarming picture emerged.
Since his arrest, Dr. Abu Safiya has lost approximately 25 kilograms. He suffers from serious scabies and heart problems but is not receiving any medical treatment. It became clear during the visit that Dr. Abu Safiya has not been brought before a judge, investigated, or given any information about the reason for his arrest since March.
