Our leaders are charlatans. They cry crocodile tears while kissing Netanyahus' blood-soaked ring. They hide behind the fiction of "diplomacy" and ingratiate themselves with carefully worded statements. They have done nothing at all to stop this genocide or punish Israel. #SpéirGorm #BDSIsraelnow

Fine Gael is still blocking the Occupied Territories Bill. "Foreign Minister Simon Harris has told parliament he would receive advice from the attorney general "shortly" on whether services can be included. He previously flagged concerns that it may not be legally possible." #SpéirGorm

The Ocean Gladiator will leave the Port of Paulsboro for Ashdod carrying munitions from Wieland Group – which “profited enormously from the armaments orders” it received from Adolf Hitler’s regime in the early 1940s. #FreePalestine #Gaza

Protests work. Boycotts work. #BoycottDivestSanctionIsraelNow #SpéirGorm

Every carer and PLWD knew exactly what the care referendum was about, and that's why it was roundly rejected by the electorate. We also knew what her green paper on disability was about, and that's why we fought hard to get it dropped. Heather Humphreys is no friend of ours. #DisabilityRights

Q. Can you vote in the Presidential election next month? A. Of course I can. I always vote. Q. Are you on the Register? A. Why wouldn't I be? *Checks Register. Name absent* Q. Who erased me? *Applies to be registerred* There are only a few days left to register.

Can anyone name another sporting contest where "Fuck You [insert name]" is broadcast through the tannoy system? #TrumpsAmerica #RyderCup2025 #SpéirGorm

Micheál Martin has not taken any actions to prevent a genocide. None. Statements are all he has offered. No Occupied Territories Bill. No stopping munition flights No stopping sales of dual use products to Israel. No sanctions at all. His government has done nothing, but he lectures others!

The bitterness of the so-called tolerant left towards the success of those who worked hard at being born into hereditary wealth is really embarrassing. Do better. Be better. #BeKind

Maybe he just thought that the abusers hadn't achieved their aims yet 🤔 "Three of the Women of Honour served in Mr Gavin’s time in the Air Corps, and the abuse they endured was widely known." #Áras2025

Tony Blair appointing himself Resident-General of Gaza is surely the end of his villain arc.

I presume now that Mo Chara has had all charges against him dropped, Canada will reverse its decision to ban Kneecap 🤔 #SpéirGorm #FreePalestine #GenocideInGaza #EthnicCleansingOfPalestine #IsraelisATerorristState

Made up charges to silence dissent from a genocide complicit government dropped. Next up should be the dropping of all charges against people holding signs while peacefully protesting the same genocide. #FreePalestine #IsraelIsCommittingGenocide #ComplicityInGenocide #SpéirGorm

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

And there you have it. The 1930s candidate, Maria Steen, has failed in her bid to get on the presidential ballot. Now, she can go back to fighting against women's rights and continue her important role as a non-practicing barrister. #Áras2025

Let me just put on the record that I am extremely concerned that some or all of the peaceful activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla will be injured or killed by Israel in the coming hours or days, and the world will do nothing either before or after to protect them.

Work in progress 🎨 #DerelictIreland #SpéirGorm

Disney lost $4 billion since they made the decision to bow down to Trump and take Kimmel off the air. The lesson to learn for everyone is that boycotts work. In the world we currently live in, that is our power. That's why Israel fears boycotts the most. They can move mountains.

Why the recognition of Palestine matters. Why it won’t change anything in Gaza - but it could have a lasting impact for Palestine.

They never went away. They just licked their wounds, learned by their mistakes, and regrouped. Fascism Nazism Zionism are all aligned now. This is our reality, and I'm scared for our childrens' future. Ireland didn't succumb to their hatred then. I can only hope we don't now. #SpéirGorm

This decision by Sinn Féin to back Catherine Connolly for president is the right choice. Now, let's get the job done. 🇮🇪🗳 #SpéirGorm #CatherineConnellyForPresident

In case some have forgotten. A sign from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

America is now officially a Fascist state. Its terrorist proxies in Israel are committing genocide. The world has already fought two world wars to stop fascism. Are we now looking at WW111, and who is going to stop them this time?

I went to bed early last night and woke up this morning to find that Trump has designated Antifa as a terrorist org. Vance threatened the #GlobalSumudFlotilla Jimmy Kimmel' show got cancelled Jacob Rees-Mogg wants Trump to be Prime Minister. Fascism has taken over.

Let's all be clear here. By allowing these flights and / or refusing to prosecute the airline company for illegally carrying munitions through our airspace, the government is failing in its duty to prevent a genocide. They are, in fact, complicit in Israels' crimes. #SpéirGorm

An Irish airline illegally transported munitions to Israel – despite just months before taking part in a Microsoft Teams call with Department of Transport officials after reports of its munitions flights to Israel. www.ontheditch.com/department-o...

Tens of thousands forced to flee once more a day after the UN genocide report pointed to civilians, including children - even toddlers - being shot in the head by snipers while evacuating.

And there it is. The government is not going to take any actions to sanction Israel for genocide. "Tánaiste Simon Harris will tell Cabinet that to “pressure Israel to stop the killing, starvation, and genocide in Gaza, there must be a move on an EU-wide basis to have a real impact”. #SpéirGorm

And that's why he's a legend. Simple and honest statements.

An independent UN commission today concluded Israel has committed and continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza The government still allows illegal munitions flights through Irish airspace to Israel and the export of military goods from Ireland to Israel

Our government has been blocking the Occupied Territories Bill since 2018 at the behest of Israel 🤬 #SpéirGorm #EnactTheOccupiedTerritoriesBill #BoycottDivestSanctionIsraelNow www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Forget all the meaningless statements from our duplicitous self-serving leaders. This is the difference between taking action and complicity in a genocide. Micheál Martin and Simon Harris are frauds. They admitted that it is genocide but do absolutely nothing to stop it. #SpéirGorm

I have decided that it will not divorce my hubby and marry Keanu Reeves. Sorry Keanu, it just wasn't to be.

Why are the Intl Criminal Court and the Intl Court of Justice still silent? There is more than enough evidence to conclude that Israel is indeed committing genocide. Their silence is more than deafening at this stage. Their judgement is essential and long overdue. #GenocideInGaza #SpéirGorm

I feel like I'm slowly going mad. The world is turning on its head. Hate is now good? Racists our our saviours? Misogynists are protecting women? Genocide is fine? Only straight white lives matter? Fascism is cool? Who really wants to live in a world like that? I know I don't. #SpéirGorm

Israel flattens refugee camp homes in famine-hit Gaza City - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-flattens-refugee-camp-homes-famine-hit-gaza-city

No one should be assassinated for their political beliefs, but the rush to sainthood for a "Christian" extremist whose sole purpose was to spread hate on anyone who isn't a white "Christian" is very disturbing. He preached hate, not love. The opposite of Christian doctrine. #CharlieKirkMurder

Ireland will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if Israel is a participant. www.rte.ie/entertainmen... #speirgorm #Eurovision

No one should be killed for their political beliefs. No one. We don't know who killed Kirk, but the right are blaming the left and stirring up even more hate. Trump is losing support. Netanyahu likewise. How better to shore up support than to murder one of their own. False flag?

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Called it. Anything to help take the pressure off the Irish government who really don't want to enact the Occupied Territories Bill. #SpéirGorm

Israel absolutely knew that an attack was imminent. Instead of stopping it, they used it to start a genocide. The Hannibal Directive was enacted to increase the death toll to garner support. Zionists have no problem killing Jews to reach their stated goals, a Greater Israel.

I love our flag 🇮🇪. It stands for inclusivity for all the people on this island. I don't want it corrupted by far-right hate filled morons like the ones in England. #SpéirGorm

It is September 1st, not April 1st, right? #SpéirGorm

I agree. Threats against a politician or their families should never be tolerated. No matter how inept or untrustworthy that politician is. #SpéirGorm #ResignHarris ##JusticeForHarvey

Yes, Trump is a narcissistic demagogue, and I hope he dies soon, but he is just the front for the fascist oligarchs pulling his strings. Vance is joyfully waiting in the wings to continue their fascist agenda.

Israel is a terrorist state that needs to be stopped using all methods, including military intervention. Now. Not in a month, not in a year. Now. 🤬 #BoycottDivestSanctionNow ##IsraelIsCommittingGenocide

Colin Sheridan is one of less than a dozen Irish mainstream journalists who reported and wrote about events in Gaza accurately from day one. His opinion pieces have become must reads. This, on Sally Rooney, is no exception.
