I hear wishing death upon a murderous, genocidal, baby killing army is a hate crime now, father.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

@dublinbusnews That is not a satisfactory excuse. I watched the bus pull into Dunboyne at 15:25 so it was running five minutes late. It's often gone 10-15 minutes late and not been a problem. Now the 270 servicevhas passed and it's completely full so there's dozens of passengers stranded here

@dublinbusnews Any reason why the 15:20 70 bus was cancelled at the last minute? Bus dropped people off at terminus in Dunboyne but no return journey, just drove by 'out of service'. Peak school time!

@GoAheadIreland no response? It happened again today! Ridiculous service

Rule of thumb for Irish Referendums: if the Iona Institute tells you to vote no, vote yes.

@RichyCraven Every year see this tweet and then have forgotten all about it by the time the next year rolls around. It is such a JOY to read! I hope this Christmas is equally as excellent for you and yours

Ryan Casey's victim impact statement asserts Ireland has lost its innocence, if a young woman can be cruelly murdered in broad daylight in 2022.

Ireland lost its innocence a long time ago, if that's a basis underpinning the assertion.

It would be a mistake to forget that. /1

Darach here. A former curator of this account is currently being piled-on by anti-immigration accounts. In the process of doxxing them, they have replied to some very old tweets here.

You can't reach former curators here! It doesn't work like that.

Also: don't doxx people!

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

There needs to some sort of an awareness campaign launched to inform people about how tired I am.

@Buseireann is there a facility for making a complaint about a specific route/time? Currently on 109A and the driver appears unfamiliar with the route and is driving well below the speed limit. Bus should be in Dunshaughlin by now but is barely out of Navan
