Israel has not respected the ceasefire in Gaza or Lebanon for 24 straight hours ever

Ireland is so rich 40% of working people under the age of 35 live in their childhood bedroom without hope of buying or renting their own home.

Ireland is so rich that each month it sets new homelessness records with 17,500 people being homeless in March.

Ireland is so rich that 3 out of 5 Irish people under the age of 25 want to emigrate and 81% said they'd have a better quality of life elsewhere.

Ireland is so rich that Irish people - not high-earning non-Irish FDI tech multinational (Indian) workers, and not no-earning false asylum claimants - will at best be able to move into a garden shed out the back of their parent's home.

Ireland is so rich that when it snows elderly people across the nation - particularly in the west - are left without heat and electricity because of archaic infrastructure outside of the capital.

Ireland is so rich that hauliers and farmers recently braved being pepper-sprayed by police to try and bring notice to the fact that they are living paycheque to paycheque.

Ireland is so rich that groceries cost the second-highest in the Eurozone - 12% above the EU average. It has the highest electricity costs in Europe (excluding inflationary government subsidies). Ireland is so rich it routinely tops the most expensive lists for hotels, dining, internet, phones, postage etc.

Ireland is so rich...on paper.

@APADON @fellawrites @irishplushy Homophonic attacks by a Muslim extremist in Sligo where he beheaded two men and blinded another. 10 year old girl violently raped by an immigrant in city west. Algerian man stabbing little girls in Dublin City. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Israel killed some children again today - but fortunately they didn't damage a statue, so there will be no apology or killers getting 30 days in jail.

When you have IDF soldiers demanding the “right to rape” Palestinian detainees, it tells you everything you need to know about these barbarian monsters.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel killed two UNICEF drivers trying to get WATER to families in Gaza. Is this story going to get any coverage?

Or is the ongoing genocide not newsworthy?

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

I’m afraid we’ve reached that place…

Apple has removed the names of the villages in Southern Lebanon from Apple Maps.
This is where we are.

Israeli tanks in Beirut in 1982, before Hezbollah existed.

There has always been an excuse.
It was never their fault.

A spell has been lifted. The Irish have remembered who they are.

From what I can see, the average chap on the #FuelProtests is a man who gets up anywhere between 4 and 7am, throws on damp clothes and sets off in the depths of winter to do a hard days work. The type calling them names works for the government or are on the dole.

@AdameMedia Why aren’t Americans marching on the streets to stop this ?

1944 Hitler introducing a "gas chamber".... (Topic forbidden to question/debate)...

Nahhh this is 2026 from a European supremacist representing Israel, a sick society.

This is Ben Gvir introducing execution chamber for Palestinian people, the same owners of the land colonisers stole.
Palestinian prisoners used to be tortured and sodomized, now they will be executed as well.
