Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

A settler on Israeli TV claims the Torah gives them permission to erase anyone who isn't obedient to Israel. "The land must be emptied of every Arab who refuses to kneel to us." Not a fringe view. This is mainstream Israeli ideology, the religious justification for Genocide

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

“There is no superior race.” “There is no chosen people of God.” “It is neither the United States nor Israel.” “The chosen people of God is all of humanity.” President of Colombia - Gustavo Petro

Israel is killing medics and children today. They do this every single day.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Oh..

The US and Israel are the most evil entities on planet earth. Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, starving Cuba, erasing Palestine, threatening to invade Greenland. Everyone decent person should do all they can to bring down these two nations.

This Queen perfectly described ISRAEL in 52 seconds

How can this be acceptable? It's one rule for every nation on earth and another for Israel - a nation whose leadership is wanted for war crimes. Sickening for Irish leaders to bat for them. Why? The Irish public don't agree so who's driving this hypocrisy?

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after I returned from Los Angeles--Shem Tov Lusky--again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital. I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day. We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky--the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year--came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital. The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack.

Brian Kerr 👏🏻💚🤍🧡 No football for war criminals.

So when Russia attacks Ukraine… the world is outraged and it’s a war crime. Trump attacks Venezuela… and its “liberation”? Israel attacks Palestine and its “self defence”? Have you people heard yourselves?

FIFA, under Gianni Infantino, gave Trump its first-ever “Peace Award.” Since then, Trump has bombed Nigeria, Somalia and Venezuela, and rolled out the red carpet for Netanyahu, the man responsible for the genocide in Palestine.

This is brilliant by Myriam Francois. A superb summing-up of what Israel is doing.

Unlike most individual sports, athletics has held firm since 2022 in not allowing the return of Russian and Belarusian athletes. So with a genocide being carried out in Gaza, why isn't the same discussion being had about Israel? Saturday column: irishexaminer.com/sport-columnis…
