@mauricejblack And I note @RachelMoiselle sharing an article on the exam paper from Israel Hayom that refers to the OPT West Bank as Judea and Samaria. So please cop-on the pair of you, stop touting Israeli exceptionalism, and pull sources that at least have the veneer of credibility.
@mauricejblack Agree. They could have used a different source. But you've just shared a deeply compromised source from the NY Times by Bret Stephens who supports Israel's war on Gaza. This, using your own words, is an 'an unreliable propagandist source'.
Published a day after Darragh O'Brien, Minister for energy, wrote an op-ed in the Business Post eulogising the data centre industry for 'delivering Ireland's renewable energy future'.
Hitching our energy future to the tech industry spells disaster.

@buxomly_sir@OurFightUk Propaganda doesn't mean fiction. This immersive exhibition is designed to elicit emotive anger/rage and is manipulative, with a one-sided framing of brutality, so attendees leave feeling Israel's ongoing Gaza genocide is the legitimate response of a nation defending itself
Dan O'Brien is the most vocal proponent of a liberal authoritarianism that has become more and more evident in Irish public discourse.
Cynically conflating Left & Right (while focussing attacks on the Left) and dismissing anyone that dissents as an agent of nefarious interests.
The Irish Muslim Council strongly condemns today’s shocking arson attack on a Mosque on Talbot Street in Dublin city centre. The reported petrol bomb attack, carried out on a Monday afternoon in broad daylight, is a deeply disturbing assault on a place of worship and an attack on the fundamental values of peace, religious freedom and community safety that Ireland holds dear.
Our thoughts are with the congregation and all those affected by this appalling act. Every person must be able to attend their place of worship without fear, intimidation or violence.
This incident comes after weeks of repeated intimidation directed at this Mosque. On numerous occasions, individuals associated with the far right entered the mosque, livestreamed worshippers on social media platforms, interrogated members of the congregation, and spread inflammatory and false narratives portraying Muslims as a threat to Irish society. Such campaigns of harassment and dehumanisation are reckless and dangerous. While the Garda investigation will determine the circumstances surrounding today’s attack, sustained hate-filled rhetoric and organised intimidation create an environment in which extremists may feel emboldened to commit acts of violence.
The Irish Muslim Council has repeatedly warned about the growing threat posed by anti-Muslim hatred and far-right extremism. Today’s attack demonstrates that when hatred is normalised and incitement is left unchecked, the consequences can be grave.
We call on An Garda Síochána to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. We also urge political leaders, social media companies and all sectors of society to confront hate speech, organised intimidation and extremist propaganda before further violence occurs.
The Muslim community has long been an integral part of Irish society, contributing positively to every aspect of national life. We will not be intimidated by those who seek to divide our communities through fear and hatred. We remain committed to working with people of all faiths and backgrounds to uphold the values of mutual respect, justice and peaceful coexistence.
Irish Muslim Council

@ZzVvbbbbn@RachelMoiselle That's like saying social justice/structural inequality isn't part of the Green political agenda. Look up intersectionality....sheesh...
@si_rubinstein@RachelMoiselle Starmer: Anthropomorphising Israel into a woman, thus insulting 4 billion people; claiming Israel had the right to cut off power and water in Gaza; ban on Palestine Action....
My graphic shows all entire homes listed on Airbnb in An Daingean (Dingle), which had a population of 1,671 in the 2022 Census, in County Kerry, Ireland. It’s no wonder seasonal workers in Dingle, including waiters, bar staff, chefs, and others, can’t find places to stay: short-term lets, including Airbnb landlords and holiday-home owners, are forcing native speakers out of Gaeltacht areas.

Delighted to hear the Silk Road Café at Dublin Castle secured an interim court injunction against its landlord the Chester Beatty Library. It is deeply unfair (and hypocritical) this 25 year old business was being forced to close, leaving over 20 people unemployed for 6 months just because of Ireland's presidency of the European Union!
Incidentally this is no reflection on the staff or management of the @CBL_Dublin Chester Beatty Library, which is one of the greatest institutions in Europe. It's a treasuretrove of history, art and culture full of passionate and brilliant people who have feck all to do with this Kafkaesque crap. It's also free to visit and highly recommended!
Silk Road Café holds a valid licence agreement, but it seems ordinary people's lives and legal rights often count for very little when the Office of Public Works does its bean counting. The casual destruction of people's livelihoods is not over yet, so keep fighting.
This is a prime example of bureaucratic, livelihood destroying nonsense our goverment and certain County Councils hope you dont hear about. Not exactly an edifying look for our European Union presidency....@EU_Commission@eurireland
Only in Ireland would someone pebble-dash one of the last businesses named in Ulysses that still trades under the same name. 🙈
Rendered over, with blocked-up windows, it has a boarded, “locked-in” look, even though the business still trades from Amiens Street. Mullett’s is a long-established Dublin 1 corner pub at 45 Amiens Street, tucked beside Connolly Station, with a rear elevation onto Foley Street (formerly Montgomery Street, the heart of the Monto / Joyce’s “Nighttown”).
Mentioned in James Joyce’s Ulysses: in the “Eumaeus” episode, Stephen and Bloom walk “bevelling around by Mullett’s and the Signal House” on their way to the Amiens Street railway terminus (Connolly Station).
