If Hamas released all the hostages or Iran instructed Hamas to release all the hostages this conflict ( Israel/Gaza) would rapidly end.
🗣️ "If Ireland truly, or Sinn Féin truly wanted something to end the conflict, demand of the Iranian ambassador in Dublin that he goes back to Tehran." @Alan__Shatter | #TonightVMTV

I've watched dozens of videos of Gazans celebrating and have yet to see a single malnourished person. If someone can find such a video from the last week, please show me in the comments.

Catherine Connolly has depicted Hamas as”part of the fabric of the Palestinian people” . A depiction firmly rejected by the Trump peace plan which excludes Hamas from any future role in the governance of Gaza. The entire Arab league & Pres Abbas agrees Hamas exclusion. But

So this afternoon IPSC is holding Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine: Silent Walk for Gaza assembling outside the RCSI Stephens Green in Dublin. It is unlikely they will break the silence to acknowledge the end of the Israel/Gaza war & expressly welcome the Trump 20 point

As Irish print & broadcast media continues to depict the Flotilla returnees as heroes & martyrs & they continue to whine about their alleged treatment when briefly detained in Israel, so far still unable to identify one returnee who has posted a single welcome for the war’s end &
Thank u for the many positive messages received in response to the below letter. One extra insight- so far unable to identify a single Irish or other Flotilla returnee who has posted a straightforward welcome for agreement & implementation of first phase of Trump peace plan

Just look at the devastating effects of the “famine”😢 It’s heartbreaking to think how this totally emaciated guy managed to survive. Just look at him. Nothing but skin and bones. It’s as if he hadn’t eaten in about 3 minutes 😭

For many who survived Oct 7, despite the end of the war, Oct 7 will never be over. They must get all the supports that they require. Too many already have taken their own lives.
For Roi Shalev, every single day was October 7th. That dark morning at the Nova festival, Roi lost the love of his life — Mapal Adam. He witnessed friends being slaughtered and he himself was critically wounded. His body was shattered, and his heart was broken beyond repair.

Footage coming out of Gaza after the cease fire took effect vs footage from the holocaust when the concentration camps were liberated. Spot the difference? One was a genocide and one wasn’t.

Joe Brolly in some past posts has targeted me. I have generally ignored him as I don’t regard him as a serious person whose ignorance seriously matters in the real world.For thinking people it just undermines his credibility & says more about him than those targeted. Case proved
I'm posting this vile clip again because it's simply incredible that Joe Brolly can behave like this, treat any woman in that manner & those around him simply say nothing, let him carry on being the vile, vulgar, woman despising oaf that he is. Looking at you @dionfanning

I'll say it again. Greta deleted a photo of a tortured hostage when she found out he was from the wrong side. No, Greta doesn't believe in human rights. And given how quickly she dropped the climate issue to pivot to Gaza, I don't think she actually believes in anything.
When Great Thunberg and her flottila mates publish a photo about the “suffering of Palestinian prisoner under Israel” and they use a photo of Evyatar David, Israeli hostage held in Hamas dungeons in Gaza for 2 full years. Can you be more vile than this?

Today is day one of the implementation of the first phase of the Trump peace plan. So a question- will the Irish government continue its low grade, selective narrative, rhetorical & legislative phoney war targeting & demonising Israel at every opportunity in every institution,

One example of the terrible price being paid to secure the release of the hostages but securing their release & saving the lives of those still living is the right thing to do
Exactly 10 years and 11 months ago, on November 10, 2014, my beautiful and kind cousin Dalia Lemkus הי"ד was hitchhiking home from her job providing occupational therapy to kids with special needs. While waiting, an evil Islamic Jihad terrorist named Maher al-Hashlamun (ימח שמו)

Now confirmed that Nepalese agricultural student Bipin Joshi is not one of the 20 living Hamas hostages. Since Oct 2023 Hamas cruelly led his family to believe he was still alive. @AdamsSandr4794 @1rorycowan @LarryPDonnelly @TheMandyGall

Israel to stabilise Egypts energy supply as Nitzana gas pipeline construction commences. This is what bedding down peace,co-operation & economic develpmnt looks like in the Middle East. The exact opposite of the hostility & division the BDS crowd advocate, exemplified by Irish
