A lot more Irish people are 'Zionists' than they think, because strictly speaking Zionism is simply believing in the right of Israel to exist. (My @TheSundayIndo column today).

two events this week illustrate how deeply, institutionally anti-Israeli Ireland has become. The first was the rejection on a technicality of Dublin ci...

This is misinformation. The notion that European nations have more freedom of speech than the U.S. (as suggested by the graphics below) is baloney, and here's why. First of all, “freedom of press” is only one component of free speech. This metric says nothing about an
🇪🇺🤔 Is the EU a Censoring Regime? Recent Reports say No: After the @EU_Commission fined Musk's platform €120M for breaching transparency rules under the DSA, Musk and various USA politicians have slammed the EU, accusing it of suppressing free speech. Musk even called for the

Daniel hasn't read the book, says he won't read the book & is urging others not to read the book. The arrogance of the closed mind is magnificent

I thought this was a cracking story when I revealed it on Tuesday last. Not that mainstream media ever credits Gript with breaking a story, ever. They get very churlish when their own stuff isn't prominently credited, though.
The Government is emailing landlords advising them that they're 'encouraged to maintain all current tenancies' ahead of changes to the rental sector in March. Landlords who have began eviction proceedings have received the correspondence in recent weeks. https://t.co/7sgzJOITaa

@Muinchille Sorry, but providing refuge to German orphans on the condition they weren’t Jewish is somewhere between collusion and antisemitism. The government explicitly cited its concern that the presence of Jews would lead to antisemitism.

As we mark Holocaust Memorial Day, it’s worth remembering that what our great essayist did was illegal – not just in Nazi Europe but also in Ireland, where Jews were not allowed to compete with the...

@AyoubKhanMP Your increasingly frantic lying as the case unravels in real time is a joy to behold. Your toxic sectarianism lies utterly exposed. You are a cancer on the body politic.

he literally chose to participate when the war was still ongoing and is now criticising RTBF for choosing to participate when the war is over ?
🇧🇪 This year’s Belgian representative at Eurovision, Red Sebastian, has expressed his disappointment with RTBF’s decision not to boycott the contest.

Bruh why are you highlighting that civilians in Gaza are so radicalized that they don't have to be a member of a terrorist group to kidnap toddlers and strangle them to death?
Repeat after me: The IDF knew that Hamas had not kidnapped the Bibas. The IDF knew that Hamas could not have strangled the Bibas.

@jk_rowling I’ve lost my livelihood, spent 3.5 years in federal court & had to raise well over $1million (and counting) all because I know that men are not women and said “no”. When I got an Australian Human Rights Commission complaint (for “gender identity discrimination”), to settle it

It's funny but it's not funny. @audragabrielle_ here thinks that it was Israel that shot at the Irish peacekeepers. It wasn't. It was Hezbollah.

“I Don’ Wanna Wipe Your Bum, But I’ll Give Your Norks A Boost” has a rather Christmassy flavour for a rocking novelty single in the Hit Parade… don’t you think? Move over, St. Winifred’s School Choir…

Just to be clear Neil what you're advocating here is theft. Those are private pension funds you're talking about and they belong to the pension funds owners, it's no different to a bank account.
When savings are pooled into pension funds the collective strength is huge. That money should help rebalance the country & benefit ordinary people. Pension funds could pay for more council houses and cheaper renewable energy, which would benefit us all.
