Independent senator Frances Black, sponsor of the Occupied Territories Bill, is publishing new legal advice by two EU law specialists, suggesting it would actually be illegal for Ireland *not* to fully pass the Bill in light of the ICJ’s rulings this summer on Israeli occupations

Bloody uproar about the SPHE curriculum and absolute silence about real sexual abuse in our schools, speaks volumes!

And there's more. Unsurprisingly, John McGuirk's blog Gript has posted 7 or 8 articles about a cartoon that hurt his readers feelings. Only 1 about clerical child abuse, and you guessed it, it's an opinion piece begging that there is no 'witch hunt' against the poor priests. 🙄

As a proud Irish patriot, I support Conor McGregor for president - Hunter, from Arkansas

Hahaha

🚨BOYCOTT DIVEST SANCTION🚨 This is sickening from the Central Bank of Ireland. Helping Israel raise funds to keep murdering Palestinians. 🤬 #IsraelIsCommittingGenocide #EthnicCleansingOfPalestine #IsraelsWarOnChildren #BoycottDivestSanction ontheditch.com/central-bank-r…

Here is some of your money back. Now stop going on about our failures in housing, health, children's scoliosis surgery, CAMHS, mental health services, tackling homelessness, education etc etc etc .... #VoteThemOut

Elected TD, Violet Anne Wynne in West Clare holding a sign that infers children are at risk from international protection applicants. Yesterday she said it was about dentists and services, today it's just ordinary racism.

Violet-Anne Wynne TD Does this mean you want all men entering Kikrush shopped and checked, or just black/Muslim looking men? I mean, you're not just a racist, are you? What about catholic priests in your town? Are your children safe around them?

Welcome to Griptland, where innocent asylum seekers must be treated as a potential paedophiles, "just in case," - but known clerical abusers, with dozens of witnesses to their abuse, must be given the benefit of the doubt...

In Ireland they're told not to be bold and be in bed by 9pm.

Does Ben Scallan at Gript think there's no need for investigations into child abuse by the church he is part of? I'd suggest wouldn't be writing guff like this if the abuse was from Muslim or Jewish religious orders. Believe these people when they tell you who they are.

The Dundrum "injunction" is a sham, perpetrated by a conspiracy theorist, backed by elected officials and legitimised by shallow media coverage. Mattie McGrath and three county councillors who backed it are hiding from my questions. leftinthelurch.net/2024/09/06/the…

'Of Turkish origin', is basically the BBC saying, "It's alright though, they were kinda brown 👍"

“Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old volunteer with the anti-occupation International Solidarity Movement, died in hospital on Friday after being shot in the head during a protest in Beita, near Nablus…”

Your reminder that Gript/ Youth Defence and the religious far right are running a vicious campaign of disinformation about sex education in schools. There's a reason for that. Sex education gives young people tools to recognise abuse and protect themselves from predators

When The New York Times covers a campaign you started 4 years ago with a single tweet #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis

2 infamous Cork derelict buildings are being seen all over America in New York Times 2 buildings that visualise the inequality of #DerelictIreland 2 buildings that have very strong connections to Irish Politicians, one allegedly owned by a former Lord Mayor of Cork City Council

Amazing how many arseholes this lad follows

It is estimated that @israel will murder 20% of the Palestinian population. We can all see it underway. So many are silent because it’s not their pet war, or because they don’t see Muslims as equals or because Israelis are ‘like us’ or some twisted reasoning involving Hamas.
