War is hell! Return to Diplomacy!

Save the Triple Lock! Restore Irish Neutrality!

Investing in public retrofitting and renewable energy (rather than arms) would not only reduce emissions and household bills, it would make us far less vulnerable to spiking energy prices due to war. -> green sovereign development against militarisation rte.ie/news/2026/0310…

BREAKING: Israel is raining bombs on civilian homes in Tyre, South Lebanon — a city that has stood for over 4,000 years. Not military sites. Civilian neighborhoods.

Scenes we have witnessed continuously from Gaza for more than two years, now coming from Iran. "Israel's" genocide didn't horrify Western barbarism. On the contrary, they said, "Yes! We can do that too!" My heart breaks for Iranians. Stand with them against this pure evil!

The US-Israeli War Of Terror continues with 2000 lb bombs dumped on densely populated neighborhoods in Tehran, a city of 9 million people The objective is mass death If there’s is an antiwar movement in the US, now is the time to mobilize

About 46,000 U.S. troops and a network of air, naval, and logistics bases stretch across the Middle East. Washington calls the presence “defensive.” The region experiences the consequences differently. worldbeyondwar.org/hosting-a-u-s-…

The US and Israel are bombing hospitals, schools, residential buildings, and Mehrabad international airport in Tehran. Having failed to regime change Iran, the new objective appears to be terror-bombing Iran into submission

Don't let anyone tell you the problem is just Netanyahu. Among "Israeli" Jews, support for the barbaric aggression against Iran ranges from a low of 73% among "leftists" to 97% on the right. This entity is absolutely genocidal. Most Americans oppose this war.

Trump is intentionally starving the people of Cuba, turning off the lights of their homes, hospitals, schools, clinics, and emergency services. The siege is one of the most barbaric acts of collective punishment. It must end — and as US Americans, it is up to us to end it.

This is the true face of the so-called "rules-based international order": Western imperialist countries say international law doesn't apply to nations they don't like. It only applies when it's convenient for them and their allies.

Anyone silly enough to believe the US wants to bring democracy to Iran should have a look at what the US is currently doing to sabotage democracy in Iraq. President Trump has been aggressively threatening to cut off Iraq’s oil revenue if it allows the return to office of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, whom the Trump administration views as too sympathetic to Iran. And the threats appear to be working, as Antiwar’s Jason Ditz reports: “Once and possibly future Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s candidacy is increasingly in doubt this weekend, with reports that President Trump’s demand he not be allowed to return to office increasing the possibility that the Coordination Framework bloc may withdraw him as their choice for premier. “Last year’s Iraq elections ended with the usual deeply split parliament, though the State of Law Party’s fourth place finish with 6% of the vote was generally seen as enough to give Maliki the coalition leadership, since current PM Mohammed al-Sudani does not intend to return. “Late last month, Trump demanded that Maliki step down from the nomination, but he refused at the time, saying that the US should stay out of Iraq’s internal affairs. Maliki was already Iraq’s PM from 2006 through 2014.” Ditz explains that Trump is able to sway Iraqi politics with credible threats due to the US control that was imposed on the nation’s economy following the Iraq invasion: “Underpinning this whole thing is that after the 2003 US invasion and occupation of Iraq, the country was restructured such that all of Iraq’s oil revenue was paid in US dollars through the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Since that revenue is almost the entirety of Iraq’s government budget, that means the US can virtually seize Iraq’s treasury at any time and bankrupt the country on a moment’s notice.” This is what US-imposed “democracy” looks like in practice: giving a nation the freedom to do what Washington tells them to do and elect the leaders that Washington allows them to elect. You may recall that the narrative to justify the US coalition’s overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003 was the urgent need to bring freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people. The US literally titled the invasion “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. They then killed a million people, plunged the region into chaos and instability for years, and ensured that the Iraqi people would forever remain under the boot of the US empire. There is no excuse for a grown adult to believe the US empire wants to bring democracy to Iran. The US consistently props up dictatorships and monarchies in the middle east exactly because they do not want the will of the people to determine the actions and policies of the governments of those nations. Truly democratic states in the region would see people using their votes to elect leaders who are hostile to Israel and the United States, and who set fossil fuel policies which advance the interests of their own people rather than the interests of the western empire. This is why the middle east is rife with wealthy monarchies who are extremely friendly with the US and its allies. That didn’t happen by accident; the west has been intimately involved with aggressively manipulating middle eastern affairs for generations. This includes Iran; the CIA staged a coup in 1953 to replace its democratically elected government with a US-aligned monarchy, who was then overthrown in the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The plan isn’t to bring democracy to Iran, and there’s a convincing argument to be made that it’s not even to preserve Iran as a unified state. Influential Iran hawks have been pushing balkanization as the preferred strategy lately, with war propagandists now promoting the idea that an Iran fractured along ethnic lines might be in everyone’s best interest. This strategy would create unfathomable strife and horrifically deadly chaos, but it would allow for the toppling of the Iranian government without having to go to all the trouble of replacing it with a new government. They can just smash Iran to eliminate a disobedient regional power and let the pieces land where they may, with no fear of a future revolution replacing their puppet regime in a large and unified state. The US does not seek democracy, it seeks planetary domination. That’s all these moves are ever about, and the empire doesn’t care how many people it needs to hurt along the way in order to get there.

NEW | Israeli Chemical Spraying Across Borders: A Growing Ecocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria Israeli occupation forces have escalated their aerial chemical spraying campaigns, targeting farmland and grazing lands across Gaza, southern Lebanon, and southern Syria’s Quneitra region. In Quneitra, over 65 kilometers of border farmland were hit in January 2026, destroying around 3,500 dunams of grazing land, hundreds of dunams of winter crops, and dozens of olive groves. Similar spraying in southern Lebanon used glyphosate at dangerous levels, causing soil infertility and threatening food security. Gaza farmers have faced recurring herbicide attacks since 2014, leaving thousands of dunams ruined. Visible damage to crops, livestock, and grazing areas is clear, and the chemical composition remains largely unknown. Families relying on agriculture for survival have suffered severe economic and food losses, with reports of illness among humans and animals exposed. Human rights groups warn that these systematic attacks on essential civilian resources may amount to ecocide and serious violations of international law.

Israel gunned down 15 emergency workers in Gaza with 900 bullets. Then buried their bodies in a mass grave under crushed ambulances. Not combatants. Not militants. Medics, humanitarian workers, lifesavers. This was deliberate execution.
