A group of Israeli settlers have seized eight Palestinian homes on Wednesday in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian sources reported that the settlers, accompanied by their families, stormed the eight homes, which were empty at the time of the raid

But we wont be disarming Israel or getting them to stop demolishing villages. We will be disarming the people who live in the villages 🤔🤔🤔 @HMcEntee

No, we don't trust you!
This decision around the Triple Lock must be put to the people in a referendum.
The government's bill still has to get through multiple stages of the Oireachtas.
We have to build pressure and fight it.

If you can afford to spend $300 million to oppose a wealth tax then you should be well taxed. This is the lad who posted a photo of his morning jog in Tel Aviv a couple of years back, while a short distance away kids were being vaporized.

UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs has called on Irish authorities to investigate the Government's approval of dual-use exports to the Israeli military and weapons industry, describing them as a "clearcut case" of Irish complicity in the Gaza genocide.

The Taoiseach on today's hoax bombs that shutdown media organisations in Dublin.
That €725M bailout of public money gives the hated government incredible leverage on the State Broadcaster.

This is a really important interview by Rivkah Brown in Zeteo with Kenneth Stern, who helped draft the predecessor to the IHRA Working Definition.
He's adamant that the IHRA should be dumped, even as an academic and monitoring tool. He's very clear it is so "poisoned" it should never be used in schools, as the government is now planning to do based on the Bell review.
This is what Stern says:
“I think it’s become so poisoned now that I wouldn’t use it primarily for [data collection] or any other purpose...The track record of IHRA in the U.S., Germany, Australia and, yes, the UK has been to use [the IHRA definition] to label pro-Palestinian speech” – including that of pro-Palestinian Jews – “as officially antisemitic."

Scaremongering going into overdrive weeks out from their effort to scrap the triple lock, dismantling a key part of our neutrality
Changing triple lock, spending on jets, on new helicopters or arms - none of it does anything in face of any of the scenarios he will talk about
An Taoiseach Micheál Martin will now appear on tonight’s #LateLate Show.
He will discuss today's security alerts at various media organisations, as well as preparations ahead of the European Political Community (EPC) summit and EU meetings, which are to be held in Dublin next week.

Ireland has a weak grid and depends on imported gas. The data centres plugged into it are pushing up your electricity prices. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling you.

Irish airlines receiving bomb threats. RTE evacuated because of a bomb warning. A cynic might think that consent is being manufactured for something🤷 keep the triple lock

As always an astonishingly honest and logical response from @AbdulElSayed
What's unbelievably refreshing is that this is on US television.
Finally people like him can begin to dispel the false antisemitism narrative and inform Americans of basic facts.

This is simply outrageous.
A headline in huge font saying "Russia's hand in threats"
Meanwhile the article itself says "without actual evidence"...
We are now being openly hit with wild propaganda to drive an agenda the Irish public rejects.

Makhlouf served as Principal Private Secretary to Gordon Brown as Chancellor around 1997, early in the Blair government. No records link him to Iraq policy decisions; the 2003 invasion occurred later while he held other UK civil service roles in tax and operations.
In 2019 the ECB privately flagged concerns to Irish officials that he was not an economist, held a British passport amid Brexit tensions, and faced a New Zealand budget-leak controversy. The Irish government proceeded with the appointment regardless. The ECB stated it has no formal role in national governor selections.

‘This was brought to public attention by The Ditch. The bonds, known as Israel Bonds and issued by the Development Corporation for Israel, were explicitly marketed and sold from October 2023 as war bonds accompanied by the slogan "Israel is at war – we stand with Israel”’

L’ex capo dei servizi segreti esteri tedeschi, August Hanning, è stato arrestato con accuse gravissime: spionaggio e trasmissione di segreti di Stato a servizi d’intelligence stranieri. Queste accuse delineerebbero un grave tradimento: quello di un funzionario dello Stato che avrebbe dovuto difendere la sicurezza nazionale della Germania, non comprometterla.
Secondo la procura di Amburgo, nel 2023 Hanning avrebbe organizzato, insieme all’ex capo dello Shin Bet, il servizio di sicurezza interna israeliano, una squadra di agenti israeliani incaricata di rapire con la forza i figli di una miliardaria tedesca.
Vale la pena ricordare le parole del cancelliere Merz: Israele fa «il lavoro sporco per tutti noi».
Intanto, Germania e Italia continuano a bloccare la sospensione delle disposizioni commerciali dell’accordo di associazione tra Unione europea e Israele e le misure sanzionatorie proposte. Eppure, il rispetto dei diritti umani è una condizione fondamentale di quell’accordo.
