We're struggling to house people and media are asking elected reps whether we need to cut EU migrants, Visa holders, or international protection seekers.
Why isnt the question whether we need to cut vacancy, dereliction, or short-term lets?

Naftali Bennett: "The truth is clear. Israel's standing in the United States is collapsing." The country is increasingly viewed as a "pariah state".
Perhaps a small glimmer of hope can be gleaned from that stark admission.

Two years on from the October 7 Hamas terror attack, Israel is a pariah state
Even an end to the war will not alter the diplomatic trajectory that Israel faces, as it stares down the barrel of imminent and meaningful economic sanctions

Oh, and it would be nice if the people who would tweak with our neutrality would be upfront about the reason this has become urgent: Afghanistan fell and everyone saw, America can't and won't win wars alone anymore, other countries need to pay for western hegemony now.

I think we protecting neutrality and anti-war diplomacy is right because it's right.
I don't think it helps us in our dealings with other countries or means that anyone sees us as an honest broker. I'm sure lots of them think we're smug and rich.
But we should do it, even if it's unpopular.

But some other countries don't take our neutrality seriously. Stalin didn't. Most of our EU neighbours, especially the easterly ones, do not. And we do rely on the military assistance of other states in emergencies, like evacuating Irish citizens from Afghanistan.

Our history has shown us that borders are three problems in a trenchcoat, pretending to be a solution.
And it's nice to think that we can bring that experience to the rest of the world in positive ways.

Furthermore, we grant passports to descendants of citizens because we don't expect anyone to earn their citizenship on the battlefield.
We put animals on coins instead of murderers in uniform. We made a poet our first president, not some general.
It's not just neutrality, it's being anti-war.

Some thoughts Ireland's neutrality:
Irish neutrality and non-violence is important, it's a huge part of our history and identity. An anti-conscription movement led to the birth of the State. Replacing the RIC with an unarmed police force was a policy priority. And who could forget the boycott?
