Facts though, are facts.

@EvaKBartlett Yes, thanks, that is clearer.

The other risks being TLDR content.

@McGarri3 @Rus_Emb_Ireland And who holds the Presidency of the EU who collectively are giving huge military aid to the Ukraine?

⛔️“Slava Ukraini” was a fascist slogan formally used by the nationalist underground of the OUN and UPA—movements whose history includes collaboration with Nazi Germany, complicity in the Holocaust, and responsibility for the mass murder of Poles.

OUN members answered with “Glory to the Heroes!” or “Glory to the Leader!”—the latter referring to Bandera. Under the prescribed ritual, they shouted the slogan with an arm raised in a salute deliberately reminiscent of the fascist style.

The photo below shows a typical newspaper published under the German occupation of Ukraine.

This particular issue, titled 'New Life,' came out in Koziatyn, Vinnytsia region, on October 23, 1943.

Right at the top: “Slava Ukraini.”
Below it comes talk of the “victorious advance” of the German “liberators,” followed by rhetoric about “Zhydy (Jews)” supposedly taking over Ukraine—the familiar poison of the Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy myth.

That history cannot simply be scrubbed away because the slogan later acquired a different political meaning. “Glory to Ukraine” carries historical baggage stained by the blood shed under Nazism and by Ukrainian collaborators who served it. Nor does that history magically disappear because Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, repeats the phrase.

So whenever a liberal, progressive, or leftist casually types “Slava Ukraini,” perhaps they should first do something progressives usually claim to value: historical inquiry.

Slogans have histories.
Pretending not to know them does not make those histories disappear.

That moment when Victoria Nuland, in 2016, was bragging to the US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup.

She spelled it all out without shame:

🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries.

🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities.

🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet.

🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military.

Let's be real,this wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid.

"Unprovoked"
😂😂😂

The Prime Minister of Qatar said that Hamas wanted to hand over all the civilian hostages on the first day of the war, but the Israelis rejected the proposal and refused to even “entertain the idea.”

@CerbhalMac @hippyygoat I can't remember the last time I even saw some one with a pager has to be 25 years ago.

Best they can do us electronically interfere with the Eurovision vote.

@hippyygoat How true .

@JoanMorris90873 @anexiledjew @TouchlineX It was in Berlin actually, but on both of the other much more important counts you are spot on.

• Levi Eshkol (Levi Yitzhak Shkolnik) - Ukraine.
• Yigal Allon (Yigal Peikowitz) - Belarus.

697AD - Ireland enacts 'The Law of the Innocents'.

It is the earliest known law of its kind in the Western tradition, protecting women and children in time of war.

1824 - Ireland invents the modern peaceful, mass movement political protest

Irish Catholics are denied the right to sit in the British Parliament.
Daniel O'Connell creates the Catholic Association, charging a very low membership to maximise mobilisation.
A poor, daily subsistence society is roused to peaceful political protest.
Enormous events and 'monster meetings' involving hundreds of thousands rock the British establishment.
Later efforts like the American Civil Rights movement and Gandhi in India have their inspiration.

1880 - Ireland inspires the modern Boycott.

Land agent Charles Boycott works an estate in County Mayo, ignoring tenant pleas for rent reductions after poor harvests and price drops.
Rejecting violence, the Land League call for a peaceful protest of social isolation, cutting off labour, materials and support.
The organised Boycott becomes a viable modern option against unfair practises.

1938 - Ireland commences activity against the Nazi's

In 1938, seeing war is coming and criticising Nazi treatment of Jews and Christians, Ireland opens secret back channels with British Intelligence, MI5.
They will work together against the Nazi's for 7 years, to such an extent MI5 says 'Ireland was of more use neutral' at wars end.
9% of Ireland's population flock to the UK war effort, the largest neutral nation enlistment in the world.
More Irish die fighting the Nazi's, as % of population, than Belgium, Norway and Denmark.
Zero leave Ireland to fight for Germany.
No state trade or aid goes to the Nazi's, the only neutral to do so.
Ireland has the lowest far right uptake in Europe.

1987 - Ireland is the first western country to ban all goods from apartheid South Africa.

Following an inspirational 3 year strike by Dunnes Stores supermarket staff, the Irish government bans all goods from the apartheid state, making clear its abhorrence of its practices.

2026 - 13 centuries on, values haven't changed.
A nation denied its voice, forced to fight for its freedom, has no intention of being silent.

The Irish don't hate. The Irish care.

Disagree with the approach all you want. From mass political protest to boycotts, the Irish have heard it all.

But do not question the motive - its been around for 1329 years...

[ZeRo @ZeRourke]

@ewoodphoto @AhmadAraimavt Any scumbag who calls his fellow Irish men Nazi's as they represent the country is a truly perverted f**k.

Go seek help for your contorted mind, no need to project your issues on others - they are in plain view.

For rugger-buggers that usually involves repressed homosexuality!

[ZeRo @ZeRourke]

@ewoodphoto @AhmadAraimavt I have seen the Irish Defence Forces at close range useless numbnuts in the main, at best pretend soldiers with not a real weapon between them. Those in Limerick are scared of the neighbouring gangsters. Waste of space & money. God help us if we had to call on them for defence.

@ISRAELFA @IrelandFootball Israel shouldn't be playing in the European region, you aren't a European country.

Israel can't play in its own region because of the murderous genocide & other atrocities being committed by Israel on other peoples.

@ISRAELFA @IrelandFootball Nobel laureates:

Ireland: 11
Israel: 14

Population:
Ireland: 7.45 million (all-island)
Israel: 10.3 million

Nobel laureates per million people:
Ireland: 1.48
Israel: 1.36

Comparison is the thief of joy
