"The Israeli foreign minister closed the Israeli embassy in Dublin, stating "Ireland has crossed every red line". Really? So Israel continues genocide, starves & forcibly displaces a people... but it is Ireland which has crossed every red line for denouncing these crimes?"

@amuse @DschlopesIsBack And we don't have thousands of people murdered with guns every year and kids go to school and come home alive most of the time. You are the only country in the world where the leading cause of death among children is being shot. Well done.

@dblnvlpmnt @amuse @DschlopesIsBack Can't she read? You are asked about any food on a form. I suspect it was a little more than that.

Amnesty International report finds Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

It looked at what happened inside Gaza Oct 2023 -July 2024 & concluded Israel had ‘brazenly, continuously & with total impunity … unleashed hell’ on the population

It says the atrocities against Israelis by Hamas on 7 Oct ‘do not justify genocide’

Israel has consistently rejected any allegations of genocide

Farty cars I call them!

@KarenJukes2 @dave43law Wow. Just .... The level of, don't even know what to call it. Years ago you'd have just had to stand in a park talking shite and be ignored. Go away and do something positive. You know you really want to.

@dave43law Donald Trump?
He lost a phone in the Lubyanka.

Trump plays music from his iPad, showing Elon Musk how his Mar-a-Lago guests are trained on command to dance and adore him as he just sits there and watches.

@BBCMarkSimpson @madsteranne I used to use Antrim Road/Clifton Street as a regular commute. Drivers including in heavy vehicles just bulldoze their way through. Needs to be lights at Carlisle Circus, which would also get rid of zebra crossings where a pedestrian is also going to be killed. Avoid it now.

Simon Harris patronising & lecturing a passer-by about inequality, social exclusion and housing. Which is funny because the passer-by is actually a UCD professor who has dedicated his life to the study of inequality & social exclusion: Prof. Kieran Allen.
