@IrishRail Few leaves bringing things to a standstill. Get a grip!

Update: The service between Dun Laoghaire and Bray has been reopened. Delays are in place at the moment. Southbound service through Killester has been reopened. Northbound service currently remains closed. Update to follow. -AP

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

Celtic Park, Glasgow today “30,000+ dead, 12,000+ children End the genocide. End Zionism.”

@Shiraq10 Go Hawks

Ravens defense has started this game hot. Texans going to need to get some sort of run game established. Singletary getting stuffed bad on the ground so far #NFLPlayoffs #Ravens #Texans #skysportsnfl #NFL

@ThomasPringleTD Calling it far right is giving it far too much of a status. It's scumbags with nothing better to be at and without a political opinion kind...this was not retaliation, it was thuggery

Disgraceful to see the far right's self-centered response overshadowing the victims. The collective blindness to the far-right in Ireland culminated in this moment. Thankfully most people in Ireland continue to reject the far rights emotionally charged, false & empty rhetoric!

Giving out about Ireland being unsafe when this is how the Irish people carry on absolute feral scumbags 😡 they don’t even care about what happened today just want an excuse to riot it’s disgusting

This is explosive and comes from a Tory Baroness. Have a listen.

@FabrizioRomano What a stupid tweet

Mohamed Salah starts for Liverpool vs Newcastle today. 🔴🇪🇬 #LFC

@donerbox92 @TicketmasterIre @coldplay Big time

@TicketmasterIre @coldplay Started off at 12,000 in queue and still didn’t get tickets , RTE & other companies must be up to the owld tricks again for concerts , we need to see a breakdown of how many tickets were sold to the general public today , what a joke

.@Coldplay were super popular this morning, and tickets are now sold out. Sorry to those who missed out this time. Please keep an eye on our official Fan-To-Fan Ticket Exchange for tickets becoming available at a future date.

@TicketmasterIre @coldplay Ticketmaster need investigating @OireachtasNews. They have a monopoly of the market and are abusing that power. Very confident these number won't make sense if they have to explain them.

Get @TicketmasterIre in front of the Oireachtas to answer questions on how tickets were distributed for Coldplay gig. Such a waste of everyone's time. #Crooks #coldplaydublin
