The EU is manufacturing threats so they can send your kids to murder other peoples kids and be murdered.
Irelands neutrality has never been more important than it is now.
Don’t get played by these psychopathic warmongers.
If you’ve a problem with countries withdrawing from a music competition because one of those countries is committing genocide and dismembering children on a daily basis, you need to take a good look at yourself.
Gent in black, "Has the Israeli-Palestine peace plan drawn up by Donald Trump have any chance of working if the Palestinian people are not involved?"
John Finucane, "Peace processes are difficult as they involve speaking and engaging with those who you consider your enemy" @johnfinucane #BBCQT
"One thing that struck me was the complete absence of the Palestinians in Trump's plan"
"And there also has to be questions about the credibility of Israel as a sincere partner for peace"
Fiona Bruce, "And about Hamas"
John Finucane, "Well, Israel bombed the negotiators in Qatar"
"Israel has been found guilty of genocide"
"I remain to be convinced that this Israeli government wants or is committed to a peace settlement"
Fiona Bruce, "And do you think Hamas want a peace settlement?"
John Finucane, "I don't know"
Fiona Bruce, "The BBC understand they're going to turn it down"
John Finucane, "Anything that contributes to an increased cycle of violence needs to be condemned because the people who are suffering disproportionately are the Palestinians"
"They're being pummelled into the ground, into non existence if this is allowed to continue"
"If we're serious about peace, there needs to be a step change in how this Israeli government has been indulged over the past two years specifically"
You think you’ve asked a clever question.
But let’s answer it.
Egypt controls one crossing.
Israel controls all the rest.
Israel controls Gaza’s airspace.
Israel controls Gaza’s sea.
Israel controls Gaza’s electricity, water, imports, exports, even the calories entering the strip.
That’s not a border.
That’s a siege.
When Israel bombs Rafah, it doesn’t bomb "Egypt’s wall."
It bombs Palestinian civilians trying to flee the cage Israel built around them.
Yes, Egypt has its own sins.
But Egypt didn’t blockade Gaza in 2007. Israel did.
Egypt didn’t bomb UN food warehouses or maternity wards. Israel did.
Egypt didn’t bulldoze farms or drop white phosphorus on schools. Israel did.
A gate in the wall is still part of the wall.
The fact that Gaza’s jail has two wardens doesn’t change who built the prison.
A prison with two guards is still a prison.
And the name on the bars is Israel’s.
Difficult to argue with this analysis by President Putin. “The West has taught us that human rights begin and end at the borders of Israel’s interests.”
MAIREAD MCGUINNESS: Remember folks, when you cast your vote this autumn, Mairead claimed OVER €800,000 in office expenses from the EU,(therefore you & me)to rent a building as an office that she already owned!! This is who will be President of Ireland. You get what you vote for.
Vincent Brown: “The prospect of Mairead McGuinness becoming President is appalling. She voted against a motion in Europe to save lives in the Mediterranean. She then gave a false explanation for doing so. She has to be stopped.” https://t.co/48ZfvXkATU
"Let them play" chanted loud and proud under the GAA crest outside Croke Park by children in their club gear.
Let's not let these kids down either.

@Alan__Shatter "Discriminating against Jews,” really? Do you mean opposition to the far-right, neo-fascist Israeli government. It’s important to understand that criticising a government’s actions isn’t the same as being antisemitic. Stop weaponising identity to try silence outrage at injustice.
