Cancel culture strikes again.
Alan Shatter@Alan__Shatter

Statement by Alan Shatter, Chair of Magen David Adom Ireland* “ The cancellation by the National Concert Hall of MDA Ireland’s scheduled private fund raising event can be properly described as an act of antisemitic censorship “ says Shatter “ The National Concert Hall  disgracefully & indefensibly cancelling  a Magen David Adom Ireland private fund raising event scheduled for May 11 at which the experiences of survivors of the Hamas massacre and of responders on October 7, over two years ago were to be narrated in their own words in a staged reading is truly disgraceful and shocking.   Engagement on the event commenced in November last, the date for the event was finalised in early February and since then the NCH have cancelled it, reinstated it and cancelled it again, each cancellation having a spurious basis.  In the end it seems that the NCH regards  it as wrong that the stories of the survivors and responders of October 7, 2023 be told in their own words . The events cancellation by the NCH can be properly described as an act of antisemitic censorship. What behind the scene lobbying or pressure, if any, impacted the decision is unknown.  There is an escalating global perception of Ireland as one of the most antisemitic countries in Europe. After years of denial the Taoiseach in January acknowledged the existence of a problem that uniquely impacts our Jewish community. Unfortunately , the decision of the NCH will add to that perception. I am deeply saddened that we have arrived at the position in Ireland where it is acceptable that our publicly funded National Concert Hall and its board stop the factual, undecorated narration on one of its stages of the worst Jewish tragedy since the Holocaust that also  impacted others, a tragedy involving murders, rapes and abductions and heroism of responders and rescuers. A private fund raising event for  an independent humanitarian organisation dedicated to life saving & emergency medical response connected to the Jewish community should not be a cause of difficulty or controversy. I am calling on the Board of the NCH to reinstate our event and for the resignation of those who saw fit to cancel it. The lack of insight and understanding is truly shocking.” Alan Shatter Chair MDA Ireland 12 April 2026 * Magen David Adom Ireland is an Irish registered charity that raises funds for Magen David Adom in Israel which is Israel’s national independent emergency medical response and ambulance service. It serves and has employees,  paramedics and ambulance drivers from every community across Israel. It is also a member of the international Red Cross/Red Crescent movement

@JNS_org @Alan__Shatter Correct. I will never go to concert hall again. Deeply anti Israel. But this show needs to go on in a theatre NOT the centre of music

Forgot to post a link to this week's column. Doh. Anyway here it is, on the useful idiots in Ireland and elsewhere who hate the West so much that they are giddy with excitement at the thought of a regime that guns down its own people winning the war. independent.ie/opinion/eilis-…

@elonmusk Even Elon Musk falls for misinformation on his site. This is a good example of how bad X/Twitter has become. The owner can't tell misinformation from good information.

This doesn’t hold up. The “Pfizer insider” claim is misleading. The person referenced hasn’t worked there for years and is not a current insider. The 20,000 to 60,000 deaths figure isn’t backed by any official data. Germany’s vaccine safety is monitored by the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, and numbers anywhere near that scale would clearly show up in national mortality data. They don’t. A parliamentary hearing also isn’t proof. Anyone can be invited to speak, including people with fringe views. This isn’t being ignored. It’s just not supported by credible evidence. @Grok mind fact-checking this?

This should be headline news EVERYWHERE. A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected. He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine. This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany. So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere? Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up... 🤔

@PeterSweden7 You guys recycle the exact same fake experts every single month. The insider usually turns out to be a disgraced former employee with a fabricated title. If 60000 people dropped dead from a shot, actual German doctors would be whistleblowing. Stop the fear mongering

This is utterly wrongheaded. It’s exactly the sort of thing the prime minister warned against in his Davos speech: individual countries breaking ranks to curry favour with Trump, allowing him to play them off against each other, rather than presenting a united front..

On Saturday the intellectually challenged Irish Writers Union will become the first such body in Europe to join the cultural boycott of Israel. This self perceived group of intellectuals will be shamefully reviving in Ireland Nazi Nuremberg Laws to a state with 14 Nobel Laureates

@acoyne Why is the King of Canada making a social state visit to the guy who says Canada should become the 51st state? Charles, Canada is one of YOUR KINGDOMS. . . . and I'm not even a monarchist.

"It had been a staunch ally through history, a gallant D-Day partner and attempting to acquire it would undoubtedly make the King of Canada unhappy," Hardman added. According to Hardman's recounting of the conversation, Trump paused at that note and asked the British journalist whether Canada still recognized King Charles as its head of state. "Do they still recognize the King? Or have they stopped that?" Trump said, according to Hardman. Trump's respect for King Charles possibly quashed desire to annex Canada, says royal commentator | CBC News cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@Alan__Shatter Alan, your Zionist myths have been debunked time and again. Far from being a victim, Israel is a warmongering apartheid nation bent on attacking many of its neighbours and has viciously bombed and killed tens of thousands of innocent women and children. Shame on you!
