I'm on Bluesky now. It's pretty good. davidmacredmond.bsky.social I'll still be using X but probably not as much.

Alongside biases shown in descriptions of racist conspiracy theories, Grokipedia contains some straightforward factual errors - including misnaming the alleged attacker in the Dublin city stabbing of 2023 that sparked a riot. jrnl.ie/6870800

@Mick96017306 @thejournal_ie Definitely not. The place is fairly prone to flooding.

@DavidMacRedmond @thejournal_ie First time ever?

The Dodder River is very high this evening in Milltown in Dublin. @thejournal_ie

These paths along the river often get flooded in heavy rain.

This sculpture of a rhino (yes, a rhino) that sits in the middle of the river at the Dropping Well pub is almost completely submerged.

@b_natou @mabecker17 @thejournal_ie Hi Natalie, the aim of the article was not to lay out the case for genocide but to explore the possibility of consequences if that verdict is reached. I have written about all of the above in other articles.

@mabecker17 @DavidMacRedmond @thejournal_ie It feels like we're reading an article from last year, after the ICJ ruling. There have been so many developments: - the famine, announced on March 2. - the intention of forcible transfers - the despicable GHF that murders starving people. - expulsions/annexations in the W Bank.

Amidst the unending horrors of #Gaza, I spoke to @DavidMacRedmond at @thejournal_ie about the notion of complicity in genocide and the distinct obligation that all states have to prevent genocide.

@BigWayneConley @Sineadmcgar Hi @BigWayneConley I appreciate you sharing my article. It is from summer last year and I'd hazard a guess that things have only gotten worse. Here's the full piece: thejournal.ie/children-abuse…

I just want to cry 😢

@higginsdavidw @thejournal_ie You mean the comments that were deleted along with his accounts? Yes, it would have been great to have access to those.

This article is disappointing as it overwhelmingly focuses on the reactions *after* Noone deleted his social media. But what were the tone / nature of comments which *caused* his exit? That's crucial for a rounded picture of the story. @DavidMacRedmond @thejournal_ie

I spoke to Francesca Albanese about Irish support for Palestine and its limits.

"I think they want to erase anything about refugees,” one displaced resident told The Journal. My article about the ongoing Israeli assault on the #WestBank in #Palestine. thejournal.ie/as-the-world-c…

As plans announced by Donald Trump to "take over" the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace its population have shocked even close allies of the US and Israel, occupation forces in the West Bank have been driving people from their homes en masse. jrnl.ie/6624911t

@_QueenMeabh @thejournal_ie I'll never understand people who comment on articles they haven't read.

@thejournal_ie Hamas have decried the state of the hostages? Since it was Hamas who starved these men almost to death, I don't think so. You are a bunch of government shill hacks. GFY.

Hamas has handed over three Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza in exchange for 183 Palestinians held by Israel in the fifth exchange of a fragile Gaza ceasefire agreement. Both Israel and Hamas have decried the condition of those who were freed.  jrnl.ie/6617340

Israel's defence minister said today that Ireland and other European states who have criticised his country's war on the Gaza Strip are "legally obligated" to take in Palestinians from the devastated territory.  jrnl.ie/6615165

FactCheck: False claims about Ireland's position on Gaza ramp up after embassy closure. Great piece by my colleague ⁦@DavidMacRedmond on⁩ @thejournal_ie jrnl.ie/6574998

Eoin Hayes made €199k from his Palantir shares - but what is the company and what does it do? jrnl.ie/6569126t

Last week, Amnesty International published a lengthy report detailing its finding that Israel is committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip. Israeli officials have accused Amnesty of inventing its own definition of the crime. jrnl.ie/6568231t

A lot of people are trying to argue Ireland wants to change the definition of genocide based on this statement. This article addresses the same question in relation to the recent @amnesty report. jrnl.ie/6568231
