Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

The lies told about Ireland - no particular order:

Ireland has seen a staggering amount of online interest and interference over the last 5 years, to the point it now has the worlds highest external malicious bot traffic - 71%, versus 35% in the U.S for example

Here are some of the regular falsehoods:

'A famine (scarcity of food) caused 1 million+ deaths in Ireland 1845-1851':

Over 4000 ships carried food from Ireland in 1847 alone, the famines worst year (Black ‘47).
Over 3 million livestock were exported 1846-1850.
6 million quarters of grain left 1845-1847 (about 1 million tonnes)
While avoiding all deaths was unlikely, access and entitlement to food, rather than its scarcity, was a primary factor.

'Ireland was pro-Nazi in WW2'':

Ireland was exclusively and extensively pro-Allied in WW2.
It violated neutrality in the Allies favour completely, across dozens of ways, any of which would have led to war with Germany if they became known.
9% of the Irish population voluntarily joined the UK war effort. Zero went to Germany.
The Irish state is the only neutral to exclusively aid the Allies and openly criticise Nazi actions.
Ireland had lowest far right uptake in Europe.
Britain's MI5 said at wars end ‘Ireland was of more use neutral’

'Before the Anglo-Norman arrival, Ireland was not unified or coherent':

Irish identity and island wide culture formed from about 500BC.
No later they 500AD they called themselves Irish, differentiated foreigners and shared an island wide society and identity that worked as one on laws, language, religion, culture, origin myths & legends.
They even met up to compete in national inter-kingdom sports days. Many tribes, but one people.

'Before the Anglo-Norman arrival, Gaelic Ireland was uncivilised':

Ireland had the most advanced law system in Europe, a restorative learned profession with divorce, animal welfare laws & rare execution.
All-Island assemblies created laws like 'The law of the Innocents', 697AD, that gave protection to women and children in times of war.
Irish monasteries were a shining light amid Europe's dark ages, returning & advancing literacy & learning.
A complex all-island society placed immense importance on culture.
Claims of cannibalism & backwards barbarity were fabricated or exaggerated by Anglo-Normans propagandist, Gerald of Wales, to justify colonisation.

'Ireland has an inflated history of antisemitism / racism':

Ireland has had the lowest levels of antisemitism in Europe since the first Jewish arrivals in the 11th century.
Zero expulsions. No pogroms. No exclusion from government/societal roles.
Irelands most important politician, Daniel O’Connell, fought for Jewish rights in the 1800’s.
Ireland enshrined Jewish right of practise in its 1937 Constitution, a unique action in an antiemetic age.
Claims Ireland exclusively excluded Jews in WW2 are false - all refugee entries were minimised. Jews made up 20% of those left in, likely the largest cohort of a small number.
Ireland has no history of large scale, organised racially motivated groups or state segregation
(of course racism and antisemitism existed in Ireland as everywhere)

'The IRA & its tactics represent all Irish':

The Irish Republican Army fought a popular campaign for Irish independence 1919 - 1921, achieving partial independence for the country.
Since then, the groups popularity waned as violent tactics were at odds with a desire for political advancement of Republican ideals.
By World War Two, the group had just 2k members from a population of 3 million and were deeply unpopular with the Irish public for their tactics.
Many Irish remained / remain Republicans, and desirous of a reunited Ireland, but not via violent means.

The Taoiseach’s decision to exclude services from the Occupied Territories Bill is unacceptable. Nearly 70% of Ireland’s trade with the occupied territories is in services. So Micheál Martin seeks to weaken the intent of the Bill. We won’t stand for it. Israel must be sanctioned. We need the Occupied Territories Bill passed and it must include services!

We’re watching a Holocaust.

Don’t ignore this. Repost this.

Nice kit. Unwearable tho

Israeli-founded company Deel advertised on sleeve

Airline owned by one of world’s most brutal dictatorships advertised on front

Then there’s Adidas, one-time sponsor of Israel Football Association

One big advert for genocide and apartheid. Disgusting

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

We need more transparency in the foreign interest lobbying on Capitol Hill. That’s why I introduced the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act today.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

Israel killed this little Palestinian girl in Gaza today.

They shot her while she was sitting in class inside a tent in Beit Lahia.

She was only 9 years old.

No headlines. No outrage. No condemnation.

Not a peep from the “international community.”

[Jvnior @Jvnior]

IDF soldiers sniped a girl in her classroom today, in front of her whole class. She was 9.

Her name is Ritaj Rayhan. Please repost this.

Mass Descent on the Port of Dublin, Sunday 2nd of November at 2pm.

We're done with marches. We're done with speeches. Economically isolate Isr*el by making trade with them less profitable.

We will carry out blockades of Dublin Port and other mass actions until the Irish government carries out the will of its people, and until companies using the Port (like Maersk) stop shipping to Isr*el.

Additionally, with our port blockades, we demand the government implement Boycott, Divest, Sanction -policies. Ban the sale of Isr*eli goods and services, cut economic ties, and sanction Isr*el. The OTB was always dead on arrival, and the sham ceasefire has brought little relief. It's time for Ireland to act.
