Still in shock that the European Commission’s authority on antisemitism @kschnurbein said that raising money for starving children in Gaza is antisemitic She specifically targets ‘bake sales’ organised by EU staff for the Irish Red Cross. Read it here: https://t.co/5eAGPqiIJt

🇮🇱An Israeli soldier proudly shared drone footage of himself flying a weaponized drone straight into a Palestinian family’s home, laughing as he terrorized civilians for sport. He filmed their fear like it was entertainment. No one knows what happened to that family.

I don't often reshare statements I write in work, but this one feels different. The EPP, so-called 'conservatives', are now working openly with racists, antisemites and nazi sympathisers. This could be a dark turning point in European parliamentary history.
In what may yet go down in history as an infamous turning point for Europe, a new alliance formed today between the EPP and the extreme-right. Why? To let corporations off the hook for human rights abuses and environmental destruction #Omnibus Read👉

IDF soldiers recount using Palestinians as human shields, killing aid seekers, firing a tank shell at a man doing laundry. “The brigade rabbi sat down and spent half an hour explaining [...] that we must take revenge on all of them, including civilians."

The only country that has ever vetoed the deployment of Irish peacekeeping missions is the United States of America

Ireland's neutrality is disliked in Whitehall. That's it really. Not altogether clear to me why Ireland should join Britain's vortex of decline and build aircraft carriers they can't staff and nuclear deterrents that can't fire. But what do I know? I'm no sEcuRItY ExPErT. 🇮🇪🇬🇧
I’ve never met anyone in the world in all my travels who has had anything negative to say about Ireland’s neutrality. It’s always been universally positive. Who are these bogeymen that our media constantly invoke? My guess, they don’t exist outside of lobbyists for arms dealers

I'm eleven years as an MEP. Not sure who Stephen Collins hangs out with but the issue of Ireland being a neutral country has never once been even mentioned to me by another MEP.
Stephen Collins: Ireland’s neutrality is widely regarded as a joke. It’s time to get real

There’s this weird class of Irish men that go to Brussels to make a career of shitting on Ireland’s legacy of neutrality and peacebuilding on behalf of right-wing European masters. Hermann Kelly, John O’Brien, Eoin Drea. Three sides of the same arse cheek.
OPINION: Catherine Connolly's Irish presidential win highlights how delusional the country has become when it comes to security. It should also serve as a wake-up call for other EU members in terms of the country’s unreliability on defense issues. https://t.co/NNzoRla2sd

Dutch elections always swing wildly. Centrist NSC went from 20 to 0 seats because their leader went on burnout. Far-right PVV failed their first government test badly. And the GL-PVDA expended huge efforts to merge only to lose 5 seats. Centrists D66 and CDA the only winners

Why are some dictators welcomed to Brussels with zero opposition from media or politicians? Al Sisi’s gestapo used an ice pick, razor blades, cigarettes and heated blunt objects to torture Giulio Regeni to death as part of his campaign against thousands of political opponents.
Welcome to Brussels, President @AlsisiOfficial. Last year, we signed the EU-Egypt Strategic & Comprehensive Partnership. It keeps delivering: Horizon Europe association and €5 billion in macro-financial assistance for Egypt’s reform agenda ↓
