Israel needs to be stopped. They have squeezed the remaining population into 12% of Gaza. They are murdering starving people queuing for food with white flags. They are sending in armoured demolition companies to destroy every single building in Gaza. They have murdered every highly qualified doctor/surgeon to prevent them treating victims - mostly kids. This is the most clearly planned GENOCIDE imaginable. And the Zionists will say "prove it" - and the whole world can see it even though they've murdered every journalist in Gaza and banned any more from entering.

@Markochief @Reabhloid88 @paulmurphy_TD The point is that rules were bent for one group and not another. The West Bank pogroms are intensifying. An American was beaten to death by the savages yesterday. thecradle.co/articles/us-ci…

@Mick_314 @Reabhloid88 @paulmurphy_TD They applied through the visa process not through international protection the applicants were missing docs why rejected A small but important distinction they are coming from the West Bank not Gaza

Outrageous thejournal.ie/gaa-palestine-…

@Markochief @Reabhloid88 @paulmurphy_TD Why don't we have this totally different process for Palestinians? Seems like they obviously need it far more?

@Reabhloid88 @paulmurphy_TD Totally different process but you already knew that

@Awtistek @paulmurphy_TD The Nazis had conscription too. Many still refused. So you think "Death to Nazis" is Teutonophobic? I'm curious.

@paulmurphy_TD I hear you and I'm curious to dig a bit deeper. So every citizen in Israel (AFAIK) is required to do 2 years in the IDF. If you look at his statements objectively, one could argue that "Death to the IDF" is a genocidal statement. What are your thoughts on that?

This is nuts

@TravisionF7 @PadraigMacL It's far from just "the Pale". There are FFG voters all over the country.

@PadraigMacL Is it because there is huge SF support in the North of Ireland that makes the Pale feel uncomfortable?

It’s time to give our Irish citizens in the North of Ireland and overseas the right to vote for the President of Ireland. They can win Olympic medals for Ireland and win All Ireland finals in Croke Park but they can’t vote for their President 👇🏻

I have never forgotten how Catherine Corless was excoriated by sections of media, government and a sizable number of journalists. It was one of the clearest examples of how a coordinated attack was launched against a #whistleblower. To this day, the same media and journalists are still at the same shit. #tuambabies

It's this boomer discussion again. A country that can house its citizens is objectively better off than one that can't. End of discussion. There is no counter argument.

@eoinyk @Marcusgmn39 Having the basic human necessity of shelter still made it better. Kids could walk to school and play in the streets. It was better on the whole. This is just a cliché that needs to die.

@Marcusgmn39 Yep

I grew up in 1980s Ireland. Church controlled, huge unemployment, emigration, dismal for women, no foreign cuisine, blashemy laws criminalising rational thought. A joyless place devoid of reason

@BolshevikBeyond Just to be needlessly pedantic, we don't want capitalism _specifically_, to end. We want an end to Class Society, of which capitalism is just the latest manifestation.

The thing about this is that while there IS an amorality to the purely materialist mechanisms which should be acknowledged, we are DIALECTICAL materialists. The Idea impacts the Material through action. We take action because we have desires, or interests.

Joan Burton, Regina Doherty and Heather Humphreys all said I was making bogus self-employment up and that it wasn't an issue. 40 + years of bogus self-employment in @RTE and neither Revenue nor Dept SW did anything. I found out what they were and were not doing 26 years ago, and I've never stopped exposing it.

@Christi07268278 @FranceskAlbs @martinwolf_ Democracy is incompatible with capitalism. Governments of bourgeois democracies are just committees of the rich to manage the affairs of capitalists.

@Mick_314 @FranceskAlbs @martinwolf_ So, democracy against the will of the people? Thats indeed an oxymoron.

I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest book, The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism, which explores the relationship between democracy and capitalism, why it is unravelling and how to reverse this disastrous development on.ft.com/3U9nwJP

@Christi07268278 @FranceskAlbs @martinwolf_ That's, quite literally, what we're supposed to have now. It hasn't worked. Our "democracies" are carrying out genocide, in direct contravention of the wills of the peoples.

@FranceskAlbs @martinwolf_ ■ OBJECTION ⬇️ Democratic capitalism is not an oxymoron 》It balances market freedom with democratic oversight 》While capitalism drives innovation & growth, democracy ensures accountability. 》Together, they check each other’s excesses & can thrive in mutual reinforcement

@martinwolf_ Democratic Capitalism is an Oxymoron, I am afraid.

@Dreamorb2021 @LfcShaunjudge Amazing that I had to scroll to get to the right answer.

@LfcShaunjudge "For Fuck's sake.".

Quick question.. Is it "for fucks sake" or "for fuck sake" ? It's for a work email so has to sound professional...

@Irish_Bandit_ @BTriagain He said a few different times but this one was a clanger. buzz.ie/news/irish-new… The reason being that Baghdad and Aleppo are closer to us than Kiev. lol

I thought Ukrainians were here on a temporary EU relocation programme. Why are they getting preferential treatment for asylum when their government doesn't want to oppress them? irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…

It is absolutely incredible that the Palestinian resistance is still able to fight Israeli colonial fascists. What a testament to their courage & perseverance.
