This is the incredible trade asymmetry between the EU and Israel - 0.8% of total EU exports go to Israel versus 32% of Israeli total exports go to EU. If the EU placed Israel under a trade embargo the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians would end tomorrow.

When bodies are being excavated from the human slaughterhouse of Saydnaya, this is what she says. Alternatively she cd say: 'Syrians have emerged from 50 yrs of tyranny, 13 yrs of genocide. We applaud them & will do all we can to support them to recover & flourish in freedom'.

Great celebrations following the fall of Assad. But there were great celebrations too when Gaddafi was overthrown. And Saddam Hussein, and the Taliban. All of these counties now disaster zones. theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…

If you are to watch one thing about the Assad regime, make it this 4:20 minutes. Note: The rebels found this little kid in the same prison he’s talking about.

Clare Daly, Mick Wallace, Catherine Connolly - you were in Syria right beside this horror, you knew it was there, you came back, to a free country where you can speak out AND YOU NEVER SAID A SINGLE WORD ABOUT IT

Today this child, like countless Syrian children in the 14 years before him, embodies the brutality of the Assad regime. He was released from the Sednaya prison where he was imprisoned with his mother. Was he born in prison? Was he conceived by one of the prison guards? Has he…

Turns out Pablo González was a Russian spy and he is going back to his bosses in Russia as part of a prisoner exchange. Clare was Putin's best mouthpiece in the EU Parliament.

While MEPs rightly condemn the appalling imprisonment of journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza by Russian authorities, @europarl has never mentioned similar repression against Julian #Assange, Pablo Gonzalez or a host of others. The inconsistent application of justice is not justice.

Can we perhaps make it harder for russian disinformation campaigns to succeed? Anti-gender and anti-trans ideology as well as racism are the major tools that russian propaganda employs to foster divisions and further imperial goals. Can we just not go with it

The whole “Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes” rumor stemmed from a Russian telegram channel, and then that rumor was subsequently reported by a Russian news agency. That’s it. Russian disinformation. Khelif is not a man. What we are seeing all over Twitter (@X) today is the…

This absolutely needed to be said, @cathmartingreen deserves respect from members of the media.

At the end of a heated press conference, Minister for Media Catherine Martin asked the Irish Independent's Fionnan Sheahan that “she be treated with respect” and that she “wouldn’t be screamed at” | rte.ie/b/1461494

This is the moment of Russia’s missile hitting Ukraine’s biggest children hospital in Kyiv. The Russians have tried to hit this hospital several times already. This time they have succeeded.

Aside from the xenophobia, racism and hatred from this genius, he consistently demonstrates an inability to do the most basic maths. The maths of family reunification in Ireland is not complicated and average is nowhere near 7. Multiplying by 7 is complete rubbish, as usual.
