China sentences its former agricultural minister to death jrnl.ie/6829752 I don't agree with the death penalty under any circumstances; but even China can convict a member of government for corruption, which happened 12 years after the events that took place one Ireland in the #Moriarty report.

Beware! There's a group of Hare Krishna extremists on O'Connell Street in Dublin today daring to share peace and love through their medium of light, jingle-ey music (of all things!).

www.thejournal.ie/vape-tax-nov... If anyone wants to believe that this is about "protecting children".... this comes from the same government that now has over 5,000 children in Ireland homeless. I'll believe they want to protect children when they address this issue first.

I'm convinced at this stage that this is part of a plot to get the far right elected in the UK. There's literally no other reason they would continue beating down this path other than to get these gowls into power. You don't distinguish your party by emulating the worst traits of the opposition.

New Gist: A Presidential Trio "Jim Gavin (or Don Uachtaránacht as he's also known to the less observant poster reader) ...can't wait to visit some community groups, he explains in his interviews with the zeal of a man eating a slice of waterlogged bread" www.thegist.ie/the-gist-a-p...

'There cannot be business as usual in the face of genocide': Taoiseach on Gaza at UN jrnl.ie/6827766 I note in his speech, Martin stated that "we are legislating against the import of goods in the Occupied Territories". He's too much of a weasel to prohibit services in that Bill.

Terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara thrown out by London court jrnl.ie/6827726 Great to hear. It's a pity they continue to try and abuse the legal system at the behest of a genocidal nation.

European broadcasters to vote on Israel’s participation in Eurovision next year jrnl.ie/6827449 They can expel Russia instantly without any process, but after 2 years of genocide, they want a vote on whether a genocidal apartheid regime should be permitted to stay in the Eurovision...

In Ireland, 10 years before this event took place, the biggest case of government corruption took place and there still hasn't been any consequences for the perpetrators. In fact, one of them is in the current government. #Moriarty

He definitely didn't call it that from day one; in fact, it took nearly 2 years before he took that view.

Why is RTÉ referring to Maria Steen as a "family rights campaigner"? Maria Steen, as a member of the self-styled Iona "Institute", has campaigned against every hard-won right we have today.

UK, Canada and Australia formally recognise Palestinian state jrnl.ie/6822809 Now if only they would go that step further and stop arming the genocidal, apartheid regime; that would be real news.

Anyone agreeing to this is no longer a journalist.

Can we assume that without a shred of evidence, they'll blame the Russians on this one.

SSE Airtricity hits customers with second electricity price hike this year jrnl.ie/6821527 I'd respect these companies more if they just said that they're doing it out of absolute greed and pursuant of more profit.

But he'll continue to arm the apartheid, genocidal regime in any event.

They could pass the Occupied Territories bill in 24 hours, but they choose not to. All hat and no cattle.

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. www.ontheditch.com/basque-compa...

So many of these illegal flights and still not even one arrest nor prosecution taken.

Ireland's President Michael D. Higgins suggests Israel and states supplying it with weapons be excluded from the United Nations, in light of the genocide conclusions in the UN CoI report. @president.ie #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

They've been holding this up for several years now....

Can anybody identify the second participant in this "war"? Is there another army, airforce or navy that we haven't seen or heard about? No, because it's a fucking genocide.

'You either fight back or you die,' Elon Musk tells UK protestors at Tommy Robinson's rally jrnl.ie/6816062 So only 9 people arrested at a violent, racist rally but 900 arrested last week at a peaceful Palestine one. The UK is fucked.

MEPs pass resolution urging EU to 'combat famine' in Gaza but delete any mention of genocide jrnl.ie/6813880 The EU continues to embarass itself; if practically every human rights organisation on earth calls it a genocide, then it's a genocide.

🚨THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: Gary Lineker has just won Best Presenter at the National Television Awards, ending Ant & Dec’s 23 year streak!

FF and FG row brews over 'Netflix levy' as minister 'shocked' by committee vote jrnl.ie/6813283 I'm not sure if this is an indirect method to continue bailing out RTE or not.

German national airline Lufthansa has been illegally transporting missile components through Dublin Airport to the Thales arms factory in Belfast for the past year. www.ontheditch.com/missile-part...

Energia customers face price increases up to €200 a year jrnl.ie/6811808 Because clearly over 500k people in energy poverty in this country simply isn't enough.

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. www.ontheditch.com/israels-nati...

“BREAKING NEWS | Sánchez announces a law to impose an arms embargo on Israel in response to the genocide in Gaza www.eldiario.es”

At this stage, and given what has taken place since July 2024... these can't be mistakes because people try to correct their errors, once recognised. It seems to me that everything is being done deliberately to embolden and assist to vote in the far-right. Everything is to avoid socialist power.

Israel’s supreme court has ruled that the government has failed to provide Palestinian security prisoners with adequate food for basic subsistence, contrary to legal obligation, and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I'd imagine some inventive and hard working criminals have figured out that during these protests is the perfect time to go on a crime spree while the police are working on arresting peaceful pensioners in behalf of a foreign, genocidal State. Little chance of being caught.

Trump threatens EU with more tariffs unless it reverses court decision against Google jrnl.ie/6809110 There's a word for this, it's called terrorism. It's financial terrorism, but it still fits the picture.

Just back from Fota Island in Cork. Highly recommend a visit, it's really fantastic.

Irish Superman.

Kitty O'Brien: "The video of me being beaten went viral because I’m white, but the violence I experienced is just a drop in the ocean compared to what my Palestinian, Arab and other racialised comrades have endured at the hands of the German state police over the past two years.”

It would be so nice for the media to use the word "hostages". If they are not held in a manner that is lawful, they are not "detainees" they are being held hostage illegally.

Top official breaks from European Commission line and calls war on Gaza a genocide jrnl.ie/6807894 I'd guess this will piss some of the EU off. So long as they continue to deny it's a genocide; they believe they have to do nothing about it. I presume she'll be looking for a new job shortly.

I'm in Irish purgatory.

EU pushed for censorship of website naming pro-genocide lobbyists electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-...

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... Which means 75% are... what's the word.... HOSTAGES.

UK's deputy PM Angela Rayner admits she did not pay enough stamp duty on second home jrnl.ie/6806390 It's funny how they never seem to overpay; it's always underpayment. If she was Irish, she'd just have to brazen it out for 2/3 weeks and keep saying "I'm entitled..." and it'd be fine.

So they should review the law concerning inciting violence for one arrest, but no such similar words for hundreds of those arrested for supporting a non-violent organisation that opposes a genocide.

The Israeli justice ministry told a controversial pro-Israel lobby and US politicians that the Dáil passing the Occupied Territories Bill was 'perhaps the worst moment' of 2019 – and spoke of Israel’s efforts to 'support' the Irish government blocking it. www.ontheditch.com/perhaps-the-...

Irish state authorities last month assisted three FedEx flights through Irish territory as they illegally carried F-35 combat jet parts to the Israel Defense Forces. State air navigation service AirNav Ireland helped the three flights omn their journeys. www.ontheditch.com/three-illega...

What's happened to Keir Starmer is like someone made a puppet of an international human rights lawyer and grotesquely made it do and say the things an international human rights lawyer would never say or do
