“What’s happening in Gaza is the shame of the century.” “This genocide would not have been possible without the shocking cover-up by the media.” “The role of Western media in defending the acts of a genocidal state is unprecedented.” —Francesca Albanese

Difficult to choose who to side with on the accusations of antisemitism against Ireland. On one side you've got doctors in Gaza, every human rights organisation and the United Nations. But on the other you've got the IDF and like four Irish newspaper columnists. Tough call

'Present day Limerick is not viewed as ‘Jacobite’ based on the sieges of the 1690s ... or described as ‘communist’ based on the Limerick Soviet of 1919. Limerick cannot be branded as ‘antisemitic’ due to the events of the Limerick Boycott in 1904' thejournal.ie/limerick-canno…

A lot of people responding to Eamonn to say he was born in 1943 and it's different now. I was born in 1983 and anti-semitic "jokes" were commonplace in school. Just because Zionists wrongly accuse anti-Zionists of anti-semitism doesn't mean we should pretend it doesn't exist.

🧵Christmas is coming, and tbh I've more fun things to be doing than firefighting all these melters on Twitter. I've posted some aids before, but in addition, I'll add links to websites that show the reality of Irish 'neutrality' during ww2, so here we go irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

This anecdote from a Haaretz article about the psychology of IDF soldiers in Gaza should be the defining statement on the Gaza genocide

Maura O’Neill speaks of being in the GPO during the 1916 Easter Rising. Maura was not a member of Cumann na mBan at the time of the Rising, but joined afterwards. One of her main duties was to feed the prisoners who were held in the basement. #irish #ireland #history

Merry Christmas from Saint Georges of Derdghaiya in South Lebanon. This ancient Church, which has stood for over 300 years, was bombed and reduced to rubble by Israel. 9 innocent civilians, seeking refuge within its sacred walls, were killed in cold blood.

The birthplace of Jesus is not celebrating Christmas this year. Bethlehem, home to one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, is standing in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
