They say they're horrified but what will @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD and other world leaders do now?
If their words meant anything they'd be sending ships full of aid behind the Handala to break the siege on Gaza and Israel's forced starvation of its people!

This is disgraceful, even for Harris. We have had major protests for 22 months. Demands have been:
- Meaningful sanctions on Israel
- US Military out of Shannon
- End Central Bank war bonds
Now Harris, whose govt has the power to implement these things, wants to join us?
Fuck off

“Nobody with any sanity, including myself, would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight. There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the fuck the Israeli authorities are doing.”

Gazans are being herded like cattle, slaughtered at will and starved to death in their thousands
Recognition of the collaborator PA regime is not only not helpful at this stage, it's harmful!
Sanctions now. Shut Shannon. End the sale of Genocide Bonds. All bare minimum demands!
Micheál Martin@MichealMartinTD
I warmly welcome President @EmmanuelMacron’s intervention as France is to become the first G7 nation to recognise the state of Palestine. This is very significant.

Let's start with why 260+ children with additional needs have no school places this September...

I want us to have a nationwide conversation around education. I am establishing a National Convention on Education & want to hear from students, teachers, school staff, the public, and other stakeholders about what they want to see our eduction system look like into the future.

Zionism must meet its end as Nazism had to meet its end.
There can be no rehabilitation of any zionist state in the wake of this and no forgiveness for those who backed and enabled it internationally.

This isn’t “Netanyahu’s war,” it’s Zionism’s genocide.

26% of homeless families have been homeless for two years or more.
Many more families will join them because Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael gutted Tenant in Situ funding.
Streetlink Homeless Support.@StreetlinkBAC
The DRHE’s June 2025 report on homelessness in Dublin paints a bleak picture, despite its attempt at statistical reassurance. These statistics are not just numbers; they are evidence of systemic failure and political choices that perpetuate inequality and suffering. The report notes a 9% increase in the number of families in emergency accommodation over the past year, with 1,626 families and 3,666 children now homeless. The number of families entering homelessness each month (86 on average) consistently outpaces those leaving for tenancies (50 per month), meaning the crisis is deepening, not resolving. The use of commercial hotels for families, which should be a last resort, remains high, with 425 families housed this way, an increase over the previous year. These hotels are unsuitable for long-term living, especially for children, and represent a failure to provide dignified, stable housing. The report’s focus on “prevention” and “exits” obscures the fact that the root causes, a lack of affordable housing, precarious tenancies, and inadequate social supports, are not being addressed. Notices of termination from private landlords remain the main driver of family homelessness, a direct result of prioritising the interests of property owners over the right to housing. The average duration in emergency accommodation remains shockingly high. Twenty-six per cent of families and 20% of single adults have been homeless for over two years. This is not a temporary crisis for most, but a prolonged ordeal. The statistics are presented as neutral facts, but they are the outcome of policy decisions that treat housing as a commodity, not a right. The steady flow of people into homelessness, the reliance on temporary and unsuitable accommodation, and the slow pace of exits all point to a system that manages homelessness rather than ends it. As Streetlink CEO Pádraig Drummond put it: “These numbers are not just statistics, they represent children growing up without a home, families living in limbo, and a society that has chosen to tolerate the intolerable. We need urgent action, not more reports, to guarantee everyone the right to a secure home.” The DRHE report should be condemned for normalising a crisis that is anything but normal. The statistics are a damning indictment of a housing system that serves profit over people, and a call to action for radical change. #ireland #Homeless #dublin @JamesBrowneTD @DarraghOBrienTD @fiannafailparty @FineGael

Garden sheds, box rooms and tiny flats for the locked out generation.
Hotels and hubs for thousands of kids who could still be in their homes if it weren't for cuts to Tenant in Situ funding.
Fine Gael@FineGael
Fine Gael is taking real action on housing. That’s why Minister John Cummins is introducing plans to allow for modular-style homes in back gardens to be exempt from planning permission. A public consultation will begin soon where you can have your say on exempted developments

Pass the Occupied Territories Bill now, in full with ban on goods and services.
No more genocide bonds, now.
No more arms flights through Irish skies or airports.
Put your money where your mouth is Micheál.
Micheál Martin@MichealMartinTD
The situation in Gaza is horrific. The suffering of civilians and the death of innocent children is intolerable. I echo the call by Foreign Ministers of 28 countries for all hostages to be released, and for a surge in humanitarian aid. This war must end and it must end now.

"Horrific", "unacceptable", "genocide", "forced starvation".
These are words with meaning, weight and strongly implied urgency.
You'd never guess listening to Micheál, Simon or any other Irish government figure this week.
If you're going to speak, act. Inaction = complicity.

Just so we’re all aware. On the vote of confidence regarding Ursula Von Der Leyen, astonishingly Aodhán Ó Ríordáin abstained. After all his talk re Gaza. This is what he actually is.

It's time to call out the truth - Netanyahu has been planning to erase Palestine his entire life.
He is now doing it, with total impunity before the world.
A total genocide surrounded by a wall of lies and a complicit media.
Backed by the UK, EU and US.
Evil beyond words
