@James09959617 @MartinM36197958@border_ireland lol yes Fine Gael aren’t fascists today (although some inside the party refer to themselves as blueshirts)
But if we’re quick to bring up Sinn Féin’s early history, we aught to know Fine Gaels (which they choose to “forget”) is far worse.
Enjoy reading up on it though!
@MartinM36197958 @James09959617 @border_ireland It was both, he actually sent troops to Spain but offered troops to go to Abyssinia to support Mussolini but went into denial mode when it wasn’t received well at home

Also I never said Fine Gael are currently fascists? Just their history is firmly rooted in it. Historical Fact.
@James09959617 @border_ireland There’s plenty online. Suggest reading the wiki on him and the citated sources there for a start.
Anyway dude was a fascist and is the root of Fine Gael.
Absolutely horrific images are circulating of people, including in beds, engulfed in flames from this strike outside Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where displaced people had erected tents. The IDF confirmed the strike, claiming it was against a "command and control center."
Interesting.
My observation is that there is far more vicious animosity directed against the right by the left than vice versa.
The right just thinks the left is misguided, but the left has foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of the right.
A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.
