It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country. It completely kills your credibility.

Right now. Iran is Ukraine. You may not like to hear that but that is a fact

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

When you feel stupid, remember that María Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize to the guy who today threatens to destroy an entire civilization with nuclear bombs..

Not a word from him on the Imperial aggression of the #US & #Israel #Trump threatens to wipe out #Iran & #Zelensky echoes the silence of #EU & #European 'leaders'...shameful...

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation.

We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction.

Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade.

Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace.

Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country.

Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Imagine being an Iranian in the diaspora who supported this war. You fricking idiots.

[Michael Murphy @M_Murphy2004]

#Trump threatens to wipe out 'civilisation' in #Iran @vonderleyen @kajakallas @EmmanuelMacron @Keir_Starmer @_FriedrichMerz haven't uttered a word of condemnation. The coordination of silence is stark though not shocking given their support for genocide in #Gaza.

Worth remembering Dan rails against the Occupied Territories Bill - I wonder what part of the 'Horseshoe' that places him?

[Dan O'Brien @danobrien20]

Breakdown of MEP voting patterns on the latest aid package to Ukraine. Far left and far right form their usual horseshoe, taking the same aggressor-pleasing position.

[Michael Murphy @M_Murphy2004]

Thousands of Palestinians displayed 'huge courage in the face of tyranny'. Many now lie dead in the ruins of #Gaza a confilct you enabled & supported, your sanctimonious words about protecting people from 'murderous intent' are risible in the extreme #Starmer #Israel #Genocide

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Alexei Navalny displayed huge courage in the face of tyranny.

His determination to expose the truth has left an enduring legacy, and my thoughts are with his family today.

I am doing whatever it takes to defend our people, our values and our way of life from the threat of Russia and Putin’s murderous intent.

Finally

[Ciarán Nugent @ciarannugent]

The triple lock has no bearing on the evacuation of Irish citizens abroad

Every reason they give for removing the triple lock is nonsense because the real reason (going to war in Ukraine) is deeply unpopular (obviously)

[Ciarán Nugent @ciarannugent]

No European neutral state (switzerland, Austria, Malta) have ever deployed troops abroad outside a UN mandate

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

The slimiest, most deceitful man imaginable.

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

The Triple Lock dates to the 1960 Defence Act (not Nice II), ensuring that Irish defence forces would only be deployed overseas on UN mandated peacekeeping missions.

The UN was under pressure then too, and the Cold War was raging, but our leaders had some courage.

The fact that this is the ONLY time that Dan O'Brien has ever mentioned Jeffery Epstein tells you everything you will ever need to know about him.

[Michael Murphy @M_Murphy2004]

UCD awarded Bill Clinton the Ulysses Medal in 2010. But Bill wasn't 'anti-western' so his 'Epstein connections' don't really matter. https://t.co/dtOZmaFtn1

[Dan O'Brien @danobrien20]

It was a grave misjudgement for @ucddublin to award Noam Chomsky its highest award - the Ulysses Medal in 2013. That was the case even before his connections with Epstein were revealed. He has for decades supported dictatorships around with the world provided they were anti-western.
Irish society is all too willing to indulge and even laud the far left, when it should have the same cordon sanitaire placed around it as the far right.

[Ciarán Nugent @ciarannugent]

This stuff is even too mental for Sky News

[Ciarán Nugent @ciarannugent]

There's many reasons, but most recent is that the top figures in the Irish gov joined in on a disgusting smear campaign of a genocidal rogue state against the Irish people (as well as their own Dublin city councillors) to avoid uncomfortable conversations with EU counterparts

[Michael Murphy @M_Murphy2004]

The 'human sufferring' of the people of #Gaza inflicted by the #NATO proxy in the Middle East #Israel with weapons & hardware & finance from leading NATO members like the #US & the #UK seems to have escaped #Rutte.

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

Spoke with @ZelenskyyUa about the energy situation in Ukraine, with Russia’s attacks causing terrible human suffering, as well as on the ongoing efforts to bring an end to the war.
We’re committed to ensuring that Ukraine continues to get the crucial support needed to defend today and ultimately secure a lasting peace.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Dishonest as ever, Starmer wants you to believe that Egan's Bristol school visit was cancelled because he is a Jewish convert.

No, it's because Egan is a leading apologist for genocidal Israel. Parents didn't want their kids exposed to his racist agenda – one Starmer shares.

How is Starmer planning to hold these parents "to account" for protecting their children? Fine them? Jail them? Put them in the stocks?

[Michael Murphy @M_Murphy2004]

#Machado handing a 'peace' prize to #Trump who bragged in the #Knesset about providing weapons to #Israel & complimenting #Netanyahu on 'using them well' i.e to slaughter innocent children. The people of #Venezuela should take note.
