Solidarity with the Palestine Action hunger strikers in Britain.

They need immediate bail.
They all demand an end to the proscription of Palestine Action.
End the censorship.
Elbit must be shut down.

Join the protest tomorrow at 2pm at the British Embassy in Dublin.

All according to plan

1. Conflate Zionism with Jewishness
2. Get Jews, some of whom, had nothing to do with genocide, killed
3. Say “look we need Israel, see how mean they are to Jews?”

These deaths are on the hands of Zionists and all who equate Zionism with Jewishness.

Firstly, Israel is not a religion.
Secondly, protesting against genocide IS NOT antisemitism.

I don't understand the ins and outs of the trans issue, so won't even pretend to.

But one thing that shed a LOT of light on it for me was how high-profile so-called 'feminists' like JK Rowling were silent as a tomb when it came to the genocide of around 50,000 innocent women and girls in Gaza.
Unless you're reading this from your private jet, the same system is oppressing us all.

When our government and "business leaders" insist on trading with illegal entities in the occupied territories, this - and much worse - is what they are endorsing, funding, and seeking to profit from.

#Ireland
NEW | Israel’s settlers and army crushed Palestine’s 2025 olive harvest. Farmers were barred from their groves, hit with 167 settler attacks, and locked out of 25,000 dunams. Output collapsed to just 7–8k tonnes — the worst in decades — deepening hardship and accelerating land theft.

This has *nothing* to do with judicial reviews preventing housing projects.

It's down to government ideology, ie that the private market is the solution to the housing shortage, when all past experience shows that only *public* housing will solve it.

One more lane, one more road won't fix this. It never have and it never will!

The only solution is to fundamentally change our transport system away from private cars towards active and public transport.
'We've done all we can do to fix M50,' warns TII
Transport Infrastructure Ireland says there is almost nothing it can do to address traffic gridlock on the M50, while accepting that the road has reached capacity
