A statement of fact – that Hamas exists and is embedded in Palestinian society – and a straightforward condemnation of western intervention angered a class that’s never served Irish sovereignty, let alone Palestinian humanity

Catherine Connolly was right

Fine, here’s unequivocal – Catherine Connolly is right
There’s an intellectual insecurity to the Irish ruling class, its political parties, its media, its blind followers.

A Basque company last week sent almost half a tonne of vehicle components to the Israel Defense Forces’ largest weapons supplier.

It went less than a week after Spain said it would ban the export of military goods to Israel.

The Department of Transport contacted Israel's national airline about flights illegally carrying weapons through Irish airspace – but officials tolerated El Al stalling the investigation for almost eight months after the company hired lawyers.

An Israel Defense Forces war jet deployed in Gaza last year was allowed to refuel at Shannon Airport on its way to an Israeli military base in 2021.

The plane – used to 'mark targets' – required diplomatic clearance from the foreign affairs minister.

Private equity targeted Ireland while it was vulnerable and Nama facilitated it. Fianna Fáil wants the public to believe the CEO who encouraged this brigandage would fix the housing market – even as he currently profits from it with his short-term let.

Inniu léigh mé an dán An Giorria mar chuid de shaothar Michael Hartnett. Mhothaigh mé croíbhriste díreach mar a mhothaím gach uair a léim Geibheann le Caitlín Maude. Scríbhneoireacht simplí ach chumhachtach i ngach cás.

At least 201 journalists have been killed by Israeli military since Oct 7th. Now babies are freezing to death in what are completely avoidable deaths. 50,000 are reported dead. The real toll doesn’t even bear thinking about. Don’t forget about Gaza.
