Last month,Micheål Martin teamed up with Norway and Spain to recognise Palestine.It’s nice to see some Western states give their support to Palestine – but did you have to wait eight months, after some 35,000 defenceless people had been put to death by Israel? If you really cared,wouldn’t you have yelled from the rooftops months ago?
The new Taoiseach, Fine Gael’s Simon Harris, was jostled by far-right protestors during his visit to Mayo the other day. Moments before, a video clip showed him holding an ice cream in his right hand and gesturing with his left as he declared “Michael Ring is an incredible TD”. Theologians differ as to whether this was divine intervention and a mini-punishment for this patent lie.
Hunter Biden is getting headlines for possessing a gun while a registered user of illegal drugs. Republicans are seeing this as bad news for his father Joe Biden’s campaign. Why? Hunter Biden has zilch to do with his father’s political campaign for re-election. He’s also over 50 years at age, which means he’s probably responsible for his own actions. To imply that this in some way makes Joe Biden unsuitable for re-election is stone-age thinking. When your children fly the coop, they’re responsible for their own actions.
Why are mainstream columnists apparently afraid to say that Israel is a pariah state and its prime minister Netanyahu is a war criminal? Do they believe the general public will see them as anti-Semitic if they criticise the state of Israel? Their consistent failure to do so with no ifs and buts shows that they are confusing criticism of Israel for genocidal intentions with Jewish people generally. Is this confusion deliberate? Are they corrupt or just stupid?
Why are critics of Pat Cullen, Sinn Féin candidate for Fermanagh/South Tyrone claiming that her move is wasteful of her time and Sinn Féin’s abstentionist policy is absurd? Pat Cullen is a grown woman and is entitled to take any job that she qualifies for. To imply that she didn’t know about Sinn Féin’s abstentionism is insulting.
re. “Republicans are seeing this as bad news for his father Joe Biden’s campaign”
This is in fact worse news for Republicans – who have to try and convince the US public that the US justice system is corrupt and anti-Republican.
Very good jude free Palestine
