@IrelandFootball need to boycott this immediately. Aside from the morals of playing Israel, it's a political landmine & security risk for the residents of Dublin & fans (if any) travelling to the away game. Playing these games will cost Ireland financially, politically & morally.

Pete Hegseth: The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people. Self awareness of a potato

A mystery that all these people are just dying like this. Any idea who could be responsible, @Reuters ?

If your ancestors lived in Ireland in the 1800s, you are 9 times more likely to live in the USA than Ireland.

This is just one trick media use to manufacture consent for war.

@theiaincameron Wrong. British and Irish Isles. GRMA.

Here is a clear and jargon-free (coughs) description of the differences between, Britain, Great Britain, the U.K., Ireland, and the British Isles. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 Scotland, England, and Wales make up Britain (or Great Britain). This is the larger of the two islands. The United Kingdom (UK) is Britain and a country of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland) together. Ireland is, as we have said, the other island. But Ireland itself is made up of two countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This odd situation is compounded by a good many Northern Ireland residents who insist on calling themselves British. (We’ll leave the politics of that out of this post…) Both the islands of Ireland and Britain combined are called the British Isles in a geographic sense. But this framing is contested by many Irish residents, who dislike the term British, for exactly the same reason that some Northern Irish folk love it. Following so far? Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all have individual national soccer teams. In rugby, however, Ireland play as one team. Confused? It gets worse. At the Olympics, athletes from Northern Ireland can represent Team Ireland or Team Great Britain (there is no U.K. Olympic team). Oh, and let us not forget the Isle of Man. Despite being slap-bang in the middle of Northern Ireland and Great Britain, it doesn’t form part of the U.K., but it is in the British Isles. Happy to have cleared all that up.

“There can be no political solution without dismantling Israel’s colonial-settler enterprise in Palestine,” argues Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to Britain, in a guest essay economist.com/by-invitation/…

Someone should really find out why it’s so deadly

"Irish and Cuban solidarity is something that goes back a long time." @KNEECAPCEOL speak in Cuba as part of the Nuestra América Convoy.

"I think Lebanon has a right to exist, I thought Gaza had a right to exist. But I notice as soon as we start apportioning rights only one country gets them." In a revealing exchange, Tucker Carlson challenged The Economist’s editor-in-chief to define Israel’s “right to exist”.

Iran seems to be following a strategy of unveiling more and more impressive military capabilities as the war goes on. They just fired long-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, one of the most strategically significant U.S. military bases in the world (hosting B-52 bombers, nuclear subs, etc.), nearly 5,000km away from them in the middle of the Indian ocean 👇. Diego Garcia has never been hit before in any war in its 5 decades of existence, and no-one knew Iran had these types of capabilities (Iran themselves said their ballistic missile range was limited to 2,000 kilometers). Two days ago, they also took down an "unkillable" F-35 fifth-generation fighter jet, something which has never happened before (militarywatchmagazine.com/article/footag…). They've also managed to take control of the world's most strategic oil chokepoint, and have proven they can hit any strategic target in the wider Middle-East, even the most protected ones (such as Israel's Haifa oil refinery: aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…). All in all, it sounds almost unbelievable but Iran appears to have a genuine form of escalation dominance over the United States military, with its trillion dollar budget. In a very real way, it's even more impressive than Vietnam or Afghanistan: those countries resisted a superpower, Iran appears to be competing with one. It also makes you think: what comes next? And that's exactly what escalation dominance is all about: keep raising the stakes until the other side blinks. It's about making Trump think "wait, I thought I was picking a fight with the skinny kid and turns out he's Bruce Lee."

I have waited years for someone to challenge this nonsense phrase on mainstream media. An indictment of the liberal PEP media that it took Tucker Carlson to do it. And he undeniably did it well.

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?

Tucker Carlson: I don’t want Israel to be destroyed. I don’t want any country to be destroyed at all.

This is a mustwatch not just as it’s the 1st time I have seen a major figure on an establishment media outlet question a journalist’s ’right to exist’ pro-Israel propaganda phrase but also because the interviewer is the Economist editor who thinks anti Zionism is defined by…Iran
