A thread. 🇮🇪🇵🇸 Whenever a Palestinian friend tells me how amazing the Irish have been in calling out the genocide, I tell them that our Taoiseach (Prime Minister) travelled to Israel to help out with pro-coloniser propaganda while voices in #Gaza were being suppressed. 1/16

@BridgetGoulding @EdwardDeLavigne As a Christian, you support the IDF terrorists who shot my friend's five year old daughter in the head and prevented brave medics from saving her life. Shame on you.

@EdwardDeLavigne @ciarantierney I’m not as articulate as you Edward or as knowledgeable but my soul instinctively knows that your reply to @ciarantierney is profound. Since Oct 7th, I have supported Israel and as a Christian it is my duty to support God’s chosen people in their time of war. God bless you 🙏.

* Administrative detention * Balfour * Black 'n' Tans * British colonisation * "To hell or to Connacht" * Settlers * Ethnic cleansing * Cultural appropriation * Occupation army * Forced starvation And this scumbag has no idea why Irish people are appalled by the #GazaGenocide‌

"Jewfetish"? I honestly could not care less about the religion of the Israeli terrorists who shot my friend's five year old daughter in the head and then prevented brave Palestinian medics from saving her life. I just know they are war criminals. #GazaGenocide‌

@EdBIre1 I retweeted it because she was the first to reveal Steve was attacked this morning. I have no illusions as to what kind of channel RT is. Yet our European leaders have so little faith in our ability to make judgements that it has been wiped from our screens.

@Berry_Demm1 You really think I care about the religion of the armed thugs who shot my friend's five year old daughter in the head and then prevented brave Palestinian medics from saving her life? It is not me who needs to travel and educate myself. Scumbag. And a fucking anonymous coward.

@ciarantierney So you’re a Pro Palli Pussy? I see. You must be an idiot who believes all the propaganda and lies. Have done your research? Doesn’t seem so or you would not be “The King Gimp”, of these Pali animals who would slit your throat, rape your wife & steal your kids given the chance. FU

@EdwardDeLavigne @archivegenocide

@ciarantierney, I understand that you are an idiot and a Paddystinian, in that order. So allow a smarter person to educate you, because even idiots deserve a chance to be educated, and I want you to understand. Gaza was a battlefield @ciarantierney. It was the Islamic “Resistance” Movement aka Hamas, together with their Islamic warmongering, bloodthirsty allies, IRGC, Islamic republic of Iran, Hizballah, PIJ, Al-Aqsa brigades, Mujahidin Shura and all of the other delusional Islamic groups who designated, created and engineered Gaza in its entirety, including the population, as a battlefield. They spent nearly two decades investing all of their efforts and resources into this. They spent billions to create a battlefield below and above the ground, they built a 600 mile network of terror tunnels that stretch under the Gaza, ‘for reference, that’s larger than the London underground’. They installed rockets and weapon caches in the north and south, in residential areas, in hospitals and schools. They weaponized Gaza totally. By invading Israel at 06:30 AM on the 7th of October 2023, carrying out the worst terrorist attack in modern history, and taking hostages, they provoked and lured Israel into the Gaza battlefield with the false assumption they would be victorious. But they were defeated on the battlefield that they prepared themselves, and all hostages were brought home to Israel. Those of us who do understand, have had enough of Gazan lies and deceit, their wickedness and self inflicted suffering, their accusations and blame. It’s time they own the consequences of their actions. Gaza had 20 years to build for peace, they chose the path of of radical Islam, Hamas and Jihad. Gaza preferred war, so they can accept war. And stop playing victim ! Hamas are both genocidal and suicidal ! Their self-inflicted suffering is nauseating, their human sacrifices for their god is barbaric. Every bomb, every bullet, every limb lost and every life destroyed in Gaza and in Israel is on the Islamic “Resistance” aka Hamas, and all those who support them !!! And for 100th time @ciarantierney ! Israel did not commit Genocide in the Gaza. Get that into your Potato fuelled Paddystinian head ! Crucially, genocide requires specific intent, not simply that civilian deaths occur during war, but that they are intended as part of a broader plan to exterminate a people. This specific intent known in legal terms as dolus specialis sets a uniquely high bar that distinguishes genocide from even the most destructive military actions. The acts that could constitute genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention include killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm; deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births; and forcibly transferring children to another group. Crucially, however, these acts only amount to genocide when committed with the specific “intent” to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such. None of Israel's actions meet this threshold. Israel targets the Islamic “Resistance” Movement aka Hamas, the Sunni Islamist terrorist organisation who initiated this war with mass atrocities when they, along with the “PIJ” (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) and hundreds of radicalised Gazan’s invaded Israel on October 7th 2023 and carried out the worst terrorist attack in modern history, and the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. The IDF issues evacuation warnings, facilitates humanitarian aid, and restricts military operations to lawful targets. There is no Israeli policy, order, or pattern of action that suggests an attempt to destroy the Arabs in Gaza. Even the International Court of Justice (ICJ), despite accepting a politically driven genocide claim for preliminary hearings, has not ruled that Israel is committing genocide !

@EdwardDeLavigne Kindly go fuck yourself. I cannot "unsee" the Apartheid I saw with my own eyes, children and farmers being shot at, two sets roads for 'settlers' and locals, and elderly people being humiliated by armed thugs at checkpoints, racist occupiers who stole their land.

@johnaquaspeed I used to watch RT also and it had really good documentaries about Palestine and the USA, but could not be trusted on Russia. The BBC has been disgraceful in terms of its biased reportage on the Gaza slaughter.

@ciarantierney RT was available to watch for years on Irish cable TV & YouTube before the invasion. I watch it to keep informed of Kremlin propaganda. I'm not a particular fan of the BBC & it has many flaws but to compare it to RT is a ridiculous distortion.

What "Israel" does to journalists. #Lebanon

Sinn Féin has chosen former Galway City Councillor Mark Lohan (pictured in centre on Shop Street with defeated candidates Eoghan Finn and Kevin O’Hara of An Spidéal) to contest the Galway West bye-election in May, at a selection convention held tonight in Maigh Cuilinn @CTribune

@johnaquaspeed How do you know? It was banned within days of the Ukraine invasion. We are not allowed watch it in "free" Europe. Are the BBC not propagandists for a rotten government too?

@ciarantierney Nobody who works for RT is a journalist. He's a propagandist for a fascist, imperialist Russian dictatorship.

@callanan_paulhi Not me who did the photoshop, but it is brilliant!

@ciarantierney 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant Ciaran.

Mediahuis suspends top journalist after admission of using false AI material irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/0…

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

🇱🇧🇮🇱⚡️– The brave Russia Today correspondent Steve Sweeney, reporting after he was wounded earlier today in an Israeli precision strike: "This is a plan for Israel to ethnic cleanse the people in South Lebanon"

Lebanon death toll has topped 1,000.

You don't have to like what Russia is doing in Ukraine to see what a myth it is that Europeans have more "freedom" than our counterparts in the Middle East. Brave local media workers have been murdered for telling us the truth about #Gaza. This list is from September 2025. 2/2

Reporter Steve Sweeney, wounded by an Israeli strike in #Lebanon today, works for @RT_com This is what you see if you try to access their content in #Ireland. And no international journalists have been allowed into #Gaza since October 2023. Journalism is not a crime. 1/2

This is allowed on @X. Obviously, @elonmusk supports terrorism.
