@RachelMoiselle Based on your recently posted video, you sound like you belong to the same wealthy social strata. If antisemitism is indeed rife in the corner of elite society you inhabit, perhaps that's why you think it's endemic throughout the entire country

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle That's fair but by definition it means you do delete comments.

If I said I never drink alcohol but I've always been clear that I like wine at weddings and Christmas, would it be accurate to say I never drink?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle I don't ever hide comments, but...

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 Wouldn't art focusing on Oct 7th also erode our cultural identity? Or would that be an acceptable form of artistic expression?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 You said they are "literally everywhere" and the article you posted said they are omnipresent. The vast majority are hung in people's homes and you wouldn't see one on most streets. If the oppression of Palestinians ended tomorrow, I imagine there would be a lot less of them

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 As for the arts centre, artists highlighting current political injustice is hardly a new concept. I presume you were also offended by the Ukrainian flags and street art on display 4 years ago. Or is there something about Palestinian freedom you find particularly distasteful?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 They literally aren't. There are plenty, as lots of people show solidarity with the victims of genocide. But there are loads of streets with no flags. And that's what you keep insisting, they're omnipresent, literally on every single street. It's such ridiculous hyperbole

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 That "fact" is just an assertion you haven't backed up beyond anecdotal evidence that they are omnipresent. What exactly has been eroded? What parts of our history and culture are less Irish than four years ago? You keep making these sweeping statements without any specifics

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 I'm in Dublin too and while there are plenty of Palestinian flags to be seen in homes and some smaller businesses, the idea they are omnipresent outside government buildings and public amenities is frankly ridiculous

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 In the video above, you say it's eroded our "identity, history and culture", which doesn't sound related to an individual sector. I'm sure you've been more specific in some posts, but you tend to use fairly sweeping statements about the impact on Irish society in general

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 If, as you claim, the dominance of Palestinian solidarity has eroded our national culture, I would expect sustained protests from the leadership of the biggest cultural institution in the country, the GAA. Instead, they're sponsored by a company financially tied to the genocide

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 Where did I lie? As I said, there are plenty of flags being flown in solidarity, presumably by people who oppose an ongoing genocide. If they're as omnipresent as your anecdotal evidence suggests, you should have loads of pics of flags on government buildings and street flagpoles

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@RachelMoiselle @DayDay990096 So people are hanging flags in their homes to show solidarity. Where are all of the flags flying in public throughout the city? Should be pretty easy to show these vast areas without doxxing yourself

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@ArchaeoBenjamin There's 40 replies to Sarit's post, none of them call for a single Jew to be killed, nevermind every one on the planet.
When you lie this blatantly, the rest of your argument has to be disregarded. Also, polls show Israelis overwhelming support Weiss' goals

[Paul Kimmage @PaulKimmage]

No rest for the wicked…

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@AdrianYalland @Catheri77239453 Did your complaint state that the staff member was wearing a "pro-Hamas" pin as you originally claimed?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@Overthehillprop @mackhairs Beirne, Ryan and McCarty all regularly start. Aki will be 36 when his CC ends next year, seems obvious. Why are you unable to say what CCs should be used for? Should Munster have four based on the current strength of their squad? Should Coombes have got one instaed of Doris?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@Overthehillprop @mackhairs So what is the purpose of CCs? Are they not meant to ensure top Irish players remain within the Irish system? What is the benefit of the IRFU paying the wages of players that might only feature in an extended squad? Does Team Cohesion mean picking the best players available?

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@Overthehillprop @mackhairs Surely the outputs of the various academies is responsible for the imbalance. Prior to his arrival, talent was fairly evenly spread throughout the provinces. Mun/Uls have failed to produce regular test players over the last decade, so haven't received CCs

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@Overthehillprop @mackhairs non Leinster players or the number of CCs was greatly increased and awarded to fringe players. This would obviously lead to a sizable drop in the province's base funding, so wouldn't really benefit Munster et al. You just don't seem to have a practical alternative

[Sean @sgeraghty85]

@Overthehillprop @mackhairs Your consistent argument is that Nucifora is almost entirely responsible for the gap between Leinster and the other provinces. The only thing you can point to is the proportion of CCs at Leinster. This could only have been prevented if some of their CCs were instead awarded to...
