@DeclanBurke2 It is indicative of the scale of the hysterical anti Israeli derangement that has taken hold across the activist led Irish media who have propelled this fixture to the top of the news agenda despite the far more pressing issues facing Irish society

@BRyvkin Hussein Agha and Robert Malley have stated that a Jordanian-Palestinian confederation should be considered. I always think it is very unfair how Egypt and Jordan have relinquished any responsibility for Gaza and the W Bank respectively.

@admcollingwood The southeast and the financial sector have been prioritised since the 80s with massive infrastructural investment and economic policies tailored to the interests of that sector with manufacturing and the rest of the regions neglected resulting in enormous regional disparities

@tjmcgibnxy @ZzVvbbbbn Irish sports journalists are among the most insufferable people around with their constant virtue signalling and moral grandstanding rather than focusing on sport as there inordinate obsession with Israel has showcased.

@tm1fox @HoraceSpellman9 Another ridiculous policy which has been replicated in Ireland, they do not need to have a degree to become nurses.

[Mark @markmgr]

@AGHamilton29 That piece of dialogue very aptly sums up the mainstream media who have long ceased reporting news in an objective manner and instead provide news coverage in an agenda driven manner with the lines between activism and journalism blurred.

@PaulEmbery Christopher Hitchens made this excellent documentary about the hysterical reaction to her death and the mob mentality that took hold with those who did not wish to engage in the collective grief ostracized https://t.co/nDwtNFcjoM

@hiltonholloway Christopher Hitchens superb documentary about the hysteria that took hold of Britain in the aftermath of her death is on YouTube, Private Eye was taken off the shelves by newsagents during that time and no dissent against the outpouring of grief was tolerated.

@KeithMillsD7 It is indicative of the intense anti Israel derangement that has taken hold in this country over the past three years that such a big issue is been made about playing this match

@EoinPoil @BrianFi97640968 @gardainfo @Mickcliff @gardarep @SenatorMcDowell https://t.co/kzAPTJOERL Seems to be the same man

@tjmcgibnxy @HausdorffMedia @spectator The settlements illegitimacy under supposed intnat law is taken as established fact but the provision under Geneva is selectively applied towards Israel & has never been applied to other situation of state sponsored movement of citizens into territory

[Mark @markmgr]

@BucketsOf_Rain @_paullay Campbell is truly appalling and one of the most insufferable individuals with a nauseating air of self righteousness while his sidekick Stewart has shown himself to be utterly clueless and not a person to be taken seriously with his commentary

@KeithMillsD7 Partition was inevitable given the diverging economies, religious traditions & national identities between the majority of the population in both parts of the island. The border could have been delineated better & included south Armagh, Newry etc in this state.

@SeanDurns Never knew about his very distasteful blog post after 9/11 until now. He became very prominent in the years after 9/11 regularly appearing across the media to spout his anti American/western bile.

[Mark @markmgr]

@JamesMC61 @CormacLucey There is an unsustainable reliance on the MNC sector in Ireland with indigenous industry long neglected. Luceys message needs to be widely taken on board by policy makers as it is pivotal to the nations economic future.

@post_liberal Van Dijk has been IMO the best centre back in the history of the Premier League but at 35 his years at the top are numbered

[Mark @markmgr]

@PGriffinFC showcasing the dearth of top class young players been produced in Italy in comparison to France. Philip Lahm wrote how stats show that players in Serie A run less than any of the other big leagues.

[Mark @markmgr]

@PGriffinFC It is a shame that it has declined so much compared likewise the Italian national team has fallen far behind the likes of England & France etc. The Champions League final in 2024 showcased the disparity between PSG who had so many energetic fast young players in contrast to Inter
