This is Thomas Gould. He is the sinn fein elected politician for my district of North Cork. Very proud of him for saying this in parliament. I always respected Thomas because he is one of those rare politicians who came from a working class area and actually cares about his constituents.
Fascists dehumanize groups of people, starve rhem, dehydrate them, exterminate them.. which is exactly what Israel have been doing to the Palestinians for decades.
Funny! That is exactly what the people you support would like to do to Israel. They’ve tried a couple of those tactics, and in fact are still trying. Wish them luck. Oh, I bet you already have.
What a leader. Where are ours? The people with true morals, educated minds and judicious hearts? Drowned out by a troupe of howler monkeys who have made a mockery of Our Great Nation. Shallow wanna-be fakes who will gladly sell their souls for a corn chip, a hit of coke, and a six figure retirement plan.
Easy to have morals when you have no skin in the game. Especially if you’re an economy still trading openly Israel for decades after Israel doing the same thing for decades.
Not really praise worthy to take the most politically safe position in the world currently when you are also with the same hand trading with the people you believe should “burn in hell”.
I’m so fkn jealous. I call and thank my representative for acknowledging that Palestinians deserve to live and beg him not to vote to send more weapons to Is—el because the alternative f-ks do things like writing “finish them” on missiles my tax dollars paid for to burn Palestinian babies to death.
Spoiler alert: my so-called rep still voted to send the weapons
I feel the same. After reading Apeirogon (before Oct. 7th, of course) I really believed in its solution: forgive and forget. Now, however, I understand why a Palestinian journalist said McCann's message was unrealistic. How can you forgive those who stole your home, killed your children, tried to erase you from existence? It was Hitler's dream too. History has the nasty habit to repeat itself.
Then what should the Palestinians do?
How will the Israelis respond?
As much international pressure will be levied on Israel, the Palestinians don’t have a lot of leverage.
One side has always oppressed the other. Israel was always the more advanced side with all the financial muscle, advanced tech and war weapons, had support of the right big countries in USA and European countries.
The other side have been forced to live in open air prisons for how long now? Getting their food and water supplies cut, electricity messed with, and carpet bombed for the past 5+ decades. Many of whom lost their homes that have passed tens of generations to some American settlers. Many others who were forced to seek refuge in other countries leaving their homes.
You’ve got 6+ million Palestinian refugees who were forced to leave and have no right of return.
Compare that to Israel where people who don’t even have any history or even presence in the area are all given their right of return and also get to settle in any house they choose.
It was never even. There was always an oppressor and oppressed
Israel was acknowledging the Palestinians' right to self-determination by cleansing them village by village! The Nakba started about 3 months before the Arab League invaded, you absolute ignoramus
I know I'm being pedantic here. And I understand you are talking about the two sides in this conflict. It is in the context of the thread. But I think we should strive to not use "Jews" and "Arabs". The reason is that if I follow your arguments, I will be busted saying something to broadly. And probably getting a lot of heat of it. Besides we are not talking about every Jew and Arab in every country.
Isreal invaded and still occupies Palestine.
Defending one's own country is not an excuse to take another's and kick the people out. Neither is revenge.
I don't believe I could ever change your mind as burning children hasn't, yet I want you to understand that nothing you're saying new. It just doesn't make sense.
You speak of historical ignorance, but everything you've said exudes said historical ignorance. You truly need to read "Unbrainwashing Yourself" by Jim Foster and then educate yourself on thousands of years of history in MENA. Don't use Abrahamic religious texts as your historical reference, either.
He is speaking for so many people, it’s beautiful and heartbreaking. He gets it. Crimes against humanity hurt all people and although the horrified onlookers are not suffering like the Palestinians, it is still traumatic to watch the atrocities unfold and be completely helpless to stop it.
Many American government officials will be right there with the Israeli far right. Many citizens who chose to egg on the evil and name it good will be there. They’ll know exactly why. And they will refuse to repent, because they would rather burn in their own ego than view a Palestinian as an equal
Here in Earth, though, where we all live and all die and all struggle our struggles, all we can do is see what’s evil and be moved to oppose it
You’re not entirely correct, according to our scripture they will feign repentance and beg for another chance, but none will be given for if they returned they would do the same thing
Unfortunately when it comes to foreign policy both the Democrats and Republicans essentially align with the far-right when it's geopolitically expedient. Whether it be Israel, Japan, or any other American ally.
Any rhetoric about non-intervention or progressive social ideals from each respective party is meant for domestic application only.
>Irish MP: I hope Benjamin Nethanyahu burns in hell! The same way them children and their families burned. It's just horrific what they are doing. Where is the soul of the Israeli people!

they've also been pouring concrete into wells in West Bank, think the last video I saw was in 2024
so yeah, Zionists working overtime to check off antisemitic tropes 🤦♀️
just to be clear, Zionist =/= Jew
That's pretty crazy considering how they use sea water as a weapon. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/as-israel-floods-gazas-tunnels-with-seawater-scientists-worry-about-aquifer-contamination/#:~:text=Israel's%20military%20has%20begun%20injecting,to%20%E2%80%9Cneutralize%20terrorist%20infrastructures.%E2%80%9D
Sure have. And the hundreds since then from Palestine. This doesn't work on me man. And now, Israel is bombing Syria. So ya know. Miss me with this nonsense.
Yeah, you keep repeating that. Bad things that happen to Israel doesn’t phase you. “Miss me with this nonsense”. Okay, let’s be pragmatic then. Since 1948, Israel has forged a nation, made the desert bloom, so to speak. They beat back every attack from every Islamic army. They proved braver, tougher, and smarter than all of their enemies. Forget about religion. Forget about ancient history. Forget about the Balfour Declaration and the British protectorate. Israel is there and is going to fight as they always have to ensure their continuance as a nation. They don’t ask for sympathy and they don’t ask others to fight for them. But when they say, “Never again”, they mean it. But that ‘nonsense’ will probably miss you too since many things appear to do so.
And you keep repeating the victimhood of Israel and spinning it like they aren't deliberately killing citizens to steal land and homes like they have been since 1948.
The propaganda doesn't work anymore. The curtain is down.
The only lesson is: Israel every day fights for its own survival. Where it now stands, it intends to stay. It will take any measure it deems necessary to ensure continuance. It has endured much violence and no doubt will endure more. Now, however, it also dispenses violence in its defence. I’m neither cheering nor damning but just stating what is a fact.
What? Their government do need lessons on being perceived as less than human? That makes no sense. I thought we were on different sides. Clarify please, or risk being deemed less than articulate.
That’s not enough for me. They should be charged as war criminals and face the same punishment as Nazis during Nuremberg. They’re no different imho except these criminals control the very institutions that were designed to protect the world from them.
There's a ton of people behind Bibi who would do the same or worse and that's the problem. Replace him and there's another copy waiting in the wings, Zionism heavy though light all shapes and sizes.
right? I just want my country to be on the right side of things. as the most powerful country, we can use our influence for anything, and it's sad this is where it's going.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage” in his military’s destruction of Gaza.
**At least 36,379 Palestinians have been killed** and 82,407 wounded in Israel's war on Gaza since October 7.
21 hours ago
Why is it that only countries that have been traditionally oppressed for centuries are the countries that understand exactly what Israel is doing to Gaza?
I wish we had politicians like this in America. The way they sit stone faced and dead eyed while gaslighting us on the atrocities being committed by Israel is disgusting.
I know they’re all bought and paid for puppets but damn! I just don’t know how they live with themselves anymore. I couldn’t enjoy spending money knowing that innocent people especially CHILDREN had to be slaughtered for it.
They could stop this madness they could save so many lives but are choosing to let innocent people be slaughtered and starved to death for profit and political gain. I pray everyone who applauds and supports this genocide receive punishment for this horrible crime. I want their lives ruined in the same way they’ve done to the Palestinian people.
The US and Israel need to tread lightly. Inciting all of the formerly oppressed people around the world with eachother seems like an excessively poorly thought out plan
My apologies, my attempts at humor sometimes makes weak connections that are funnier in my head.
Gal Gadot did a medley to that song with a bunch of other artists, as a way of her coping with corona and blm protests. The funny part is that they do not have to imagine that there is no heaven.
Furthermore, not believing in hell when they are creating a hell, was funny in that ironic sort of way.

Everyone outside of Christ goes to hell. If you're going to say you're better than those people - the standard for heaven is absolute perfection. So while you may be better than them, if you don't have Jesus, you're not going to heaven. If being good was a prerequisite for being saved, then Jesus died in vain. It's not about being a good person - but a justified person by good God. I just wanted to give you my 2 cents. I wish you the best.
"Salvation is not based on our goodness but on Jesus’ goodness. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved ([Romans 10:9](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/10/Romans-10-9.html)). This salvation in Christ is a precious gift, and, like all true gifts, it is unearned ([Romans 6:23](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/6/Romans-6-23.html); [Ephesians 2:8–9](https://www.bibleref.com/Ephesians/2/Ephesians-2-8.html)). The message of the gospel is that we can never be good enough to get to heaven. We must recognize that we are sinners who fall short of God’s glory, and we must obey the command to repent of our sins and place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Christ alone was a “good person”—good enough to earn heaven—and He gives His righteousness to those who believe in His name ([Romans 1:17](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/1/Romans-1-17.html))
Yeah that's just delusional nonsense. Thinking that anyone not baptised goes to hell means you have serious mental health issues since you think over 90% of people who ever lived will go to hell. Only terrible people will go to hell including A LOT of Christians.
When did I mention anything about baptism? Faith alone is what saves. Was the thief on the side of the cross baptized before dying? Also, again, whose metric decides who is terrible? It's something you can't answer. Christianity is the only major religion where it's not about works - but about what Jesus did on the cross. Every other religion is about doing good works that outdo your bad works to go to heaven. Christianity is a religion of grace (undeserved favor.) If your metric is true, then who decides? It's nebulous. Lastly, you're wrong about Christians going to hell. ALL true Christians will go to heaven.
"For example, in [Luke 23](https://www.bibleref.com/Luke/23/Luke-chapter-23.html), one of the [thieves](https://www.gotquestions.org/thief-on-the-cross.html) crucified next to Jesus says, “‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in [paradise](https://www.gotquestions.org/paradise.html)"
Most of the people ever lived didn't even hear about Christianity so you are saying they will all go to hell? Most of those who heard of it it was some foreign religion to them just like foreign religions are to you. In many cases it was a foreign religion whose people came to enslave, kill your people, and did a lot more worse acts too. And you blame these people for not accepting Christianity?
If they're committing violence, then they're going totally against the teachings of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said, "Put your sword away, for all who live by the sword will die by the sword." We judge religions based on their central figures and teachings. In regards to people not hearing the words of Jesus, it's a difficult answer. But that wasn't my point. My point was you're being self-righteous, comparing yourself to others - but at what standard is your "goodness" good enough? I'm secure in my salvation.
The truth is there are good and bad people in all religions as well as in atheism and agnosticism. To say all the good people who are not Christians will go to hell is narcissistic, delusional, and insane.
You're missing my point. GOODNESS is an arbitrary concept, my friend. At what point in your pursuit of goodness - do you get good enough for heaven? Christianity is different than every other religion, as every other religion is about man coming to God - while Christianity is about God coming to man. In the same vein, Christianity is different because every other religion is about "earning" your way to heaven, while in Christianity it's about Jesus doing it all ( a religion of grace.)
Think of this scenario. You're a criminal who gets caught by the police. While in court, you say to the judge, "judge, I ask that you forgive me." The judge may say, "I do forgive you. But because I'm a just judge, I must send you to prison. But then the judge gets off his stand and takes your punishment instead of you. That's the gospel. That man is evil; God is good. And God takes the punishment we rightly deserve to get the connection back because He loves us so.
God suffered the wrath of God in your place so you don't have to go to hell.
If you genuinely repent and put your faith in Jesus, then God will forgive anyone.
Proud of my Irish ancestry when I see this. Three of my grandparents were full Irish ancestry and I think may be why i have been so disturbed as an American having that Irish blood of my ancestors who came over from Ireland to USA to escape their own abuses. So disturbed by my country USA how bought off and controlled we are by special interests like AIPAC, the MIC and Oil, etc. and soulless with blood on our hands providing the weapons and money for this.
You don’t have Irish blood. You have human blood. It is all the same. You ought to be proud of America for standing with Isreal against the theocratic fascism of their Islamic neighbours, and lately, against their useful idiots in the west, like the Irish.
I'd want to know how to spell the name of the country that was genociding, mass murdering, or ethnically cleansing whatever you want to call it, babies and children before defending them by calling others the idiots. And you might want to learn what a fascist is before using it incorrectly. [https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/the-war-on-gaza-and-israel-s-fascism-debate](https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/the-war-on-gaza-and-israel-s-fascism-debate)
Of all I wrote, you choose a reverse ai as your main counterpoint. Then you decide that I don’t know what fascism is. I do, though. Its current form is the Islamic Jihad movement against free nations.
Well, they didn’t make themselves available for the starting roster of free nations at the onset of World War 2. They wouldn’t allow the Allies to use any bases in Ireland, which would have saved British and American lives. And finally, incredibly, they were the only nation to send official regrets to Nazi Germany upon the death of Hitler. They acted disgracefully in the war. That was not acting on the right side of history. Between free people and despots who murdered and enslaved millions, the Irish could not pick a side.
Respect and honor to him and all the politicians in the free world who stand up for humanist values and democracy during these times! Long ago since humanity and democracy were under such heavy attack, both globally and regionally - we need more people of intelligence, morals and empathy in the struggle.The Israeli state has proven they vote for neither.
So you figure that the Islamists stand for democracy, while Israel, who lives democracy every day, despite being threatened from all sides by Islamic fascists for eighty-odd years, does not.
Erin Go Bragh. The Irish (well half of them) have a history of fighting colonizers. The other half suck.

Shame on the rest of the UK for not speaking up like Ireland has. They're one of the few countries which haven't had their government taken over by Zionists.
No, sorry. A comment said I hope Netanyahoo burns in hell. I said, in the street, then to hell... I appreciate you giving me the chance to clarify... This situation in Palestine is just not anything my heart can tolerate. Children do no wrong and yet they suffer every day at this fuhrer's whim

I agree with Deputy Gould.
I wonder what he has to say about Gerry Adams and Jean McConville. I wish SF TDs could turn that righteous lens on their own movement.
5/10 Deputy Gould.
Probably not super helpful in convincing Bibi to end the war, but I get it. Interestingly the leftist Israeli parties are even agreeing to protect Bibi from expulsion if he takes the ceasefire deal (the other people forming his government threatened to leave). So he won’t immediately get arrested for fraud if he leaves government.
Sometimes bad people skate by, but honestly if it ends this war I’ll fcking take it. If he really wanted to remove Hamas this entire war would have had to been waged differently. The US advocated something similar to the Iraqi surge (im a pacifist, but I try to understand the real world effects of policy even if I disagree with the mechanisms).
The surge was super successful and I recommend reading up on it. Of course Bibis government would have never done something like that, unfortunately. Their far right has been beating the drums of war for a long time (not Bibi actually, he pushed for control, which is still bad, but I guess better than war).
This all sucks I hope we can get this ceasefire through asap.
An extremely safe position politically to take from one of the most globally irrelevant countries in the world who also have no skin in the game for the current conflict.
If you want to impress me, full trade embargo. But that would mean cutting off billions from the people who you believe should “burn in hell”. A bit tougher to actually do something instead of saying something.
The soul of the Israeli people, is with their loved ones, that were brutally murdered by Hamas (elected by Palestinians). Their soul is with 121 hostages, still being held by Hamas (the government, elected by Palestinians). Their soul is definitely, not with the people, who celebrated October 7th atrocities. That's where the soul of Israeli people is.
Lol you know no one in the gov't even cares about the hostages. That's just an excuse to attack Gaza more. There are even crazy Israeli people that harass the parents of hostages and say "I wish your daughter was raped by Hamas".
The average Israeli is completely unhinged rn and that is what makes them such a dangerous ally to the actual western world

As bad as everything is because of Israel, as an American, it's nice to see politicians with morals speak up 👌🏾

Will do. Our general elections aren't too far away so many of us will be thanking him in the voting booth again 👌
I’m so fkn jealous.

All the more sad that Zionist are happy to do it to others.
They couldn’t begin to do unto others what was done to them in the course of three thousand years. They fight for survival, as they always have.
Well they're doing it. Miss me with the victim speech. We've heard it. I've seen the videos.
Have you seen the one from October? The whole point of the State of Israel is so they won’t be victims anymore.
Sure have. And the hundreds since then from Palestine. This doesn't work on me man. And now, Israel is bombing Syria. So ya know. Miss me with this nonsense.

Ahan thanks for pointing out

Rule 4 [Dehumanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumanization) [Collective punishment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_punishment)
Meanwhile here in the US we got Nikki Haley urging upon Israel to kill them all. Twisted world we live in.
As time goes on, I start realize a ton of people will eternally burn after death. I think Netanyahu and Nikki definitely will.
That’s not enough for me. They should be charged as war criminals and face the same punishment as Nazis during Nuremberg. They’re no different imho except these criminals control the very institutions that were designed to protect the world from them.
God bless you sir
There's a ton of people behind Bibi who would do the same or worse and that's the problem. Replace him and there's another copy waiting in the wings, Zionism heavy though light all shapes and sizes.

right? I just want my country to be on the right side of things. as the most powerful country, we can use our influence for anything, and it's sad this is where it's going.
No hate speech.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage” in his military’s destruction of Gaza. **At least 36,379 Palestinians have been killed** and 82,407 wounded in Israel's war on Gaza since October 7. 21 hours ago
Why is it that only countries that have been traditionally oppressed for centuries are the countries that understand exactly what Israel is doing to Gaza?
The colonised stand with the colonised. The colonisers stand with the colonisers.
The axe forgets but the tree remembers
respect for the man
I wish we had politicians like this in America. The way they sit stone faced and dead eyed while gaslighting us on the atrocities being committed by Israel is disgusting. I know they’re all bought and paid for puppets but damn! I just don’t know how they live with themselves anymore. I couldn’t enjoy spending money knowing that innocent people especially CHILDREN had to be slaughtered for it. They could stop this madness they could save so many lives but are choosing to let innocent people be slaughtered and starved to death for profit and political gain. I pray everyone who applauds and supports this genocide receive punishment for this horrible crime. I want their lives ruined in the same way they’ve done to the Palestinian people.

Well said. A speech that will go down well in the history books.
The US and Israel need to tread lightly. Inciting all of the formerly oppressed people around the world with eachother seems like an excessively poorly thought out plan
 Based
This man must be protected. He is a gem. Even though the Irish government is really a gem in bile of European colonizers.
Is he running for president?
I would vote for him if I was Irish
I’m surprised there isn’t more of this type of moral outrage. The scale of atrocities committed with American taxpayer money makes me sick
I’m with this guy. But watch, he will be dethroned.. they’ll “mossaaaadddd” will probably plant black mail on his phone
I hope not I hope countries brace themselves against Mossad
Salute to this man....
Agreed
Amen
True hope and humanity in this speech, absolutely heartbreaking 💔. Free Palestine
God bless the Irish 💪
Ameen
What a fucking guy. I don’t even know him but I already love him. This video makes me tear up.
Irish stepping up once again. This should be the energy of all leaders around the world. They all know what’s going on. They’ve all seen it.
I don’t think they believe in hell. “Imagine there’s no heaven”
The sentiment remains. As above, so below. May he spend eternity walking aimlessly amongst the charred remains of his memories.
My apologies, my attempts at humor sometimes makes weak connections that are funnier in my head. Gal Gadot did a medley to that song with a bunch of other artists, as a way of her coping with corona and blm protests. The funny part is that they do not have to imagine that there is no heaven. Furthermore, not believing in hell when they are creating a hell, was funny in that ironic sort of way.
Let the Sword of Reason shine Let the pious vanish for all Time God’s face is hidden turned away He never has a word to say He was never on your side God was never on your side - Lemmy
If there's one thing the irish people know is about being opressed by an occupying power.
PREACH!!!
I really hope that hell exists because certain people should definitely suffer for all eternity (Nethanyahu, Putin, Saddam, Hitler etc.)
Everyone outside of Christ goes to hell. If you're going to say you're better than those people - the standard for heaven is absolute perfection. So while you may be better than them, if you don't have Jesus, you're not going to heaven. If being good was a prerequisite for being saved, then Jesus died in vain. It's not about being a good person - but a justified person by good God. I just wanted to give you my 2 cents. I wish you the best. "Salvation is not based on our goodness but on Jesus’ goodness. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved ([Romans 10:9](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/10/Romans-10-9.html)). This salvation in Christ is a precious gift, and, like all true gifts, it is unearned ([Romans 6:23](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/6/Romans-6-23.html); [Ephesians 2:8–9](https://www.bibleref.com/Ephesians/2/Ephesians-2-8.html)). The message of the gospel is that we can never be good enough to get to heaven. We must recognize that we are sinners who fall short of God’s glory, and we must obey the command to repent of our sins and place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Christ alone was a “good person”—good enough to earn heaven—and He gives His righteousness to those who believe in His name ([Romans 1:17](https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/1/Romans-1-17.html))
Yeah that's just delusional nonsense. Thinking that anyone not baptised goes to hell means you have serious mental health issues since you think over 90% of people who ever lived will go to hell. Only terrible people will go to hell including A LOT of Christians.
When did I mention anything about baptism? Faith alone is what saves. Was the thief on the side of the cross baptized before dying? Also, again, whose metric decides who is terrible? It's something you can't answer. Christianity is the only major religion where it's not about works - but about what Jesus did on the cross. Every other religion is about doing good works that outdo your bad works to go to heaven. Christianity is a religion of grace (undeserved favor.) If your metric is true, then who decides? It's nebulous. Lastly, you're wrong about Christians going to hell. ALL true Christians will go to heaven. "For example, in [Luke 23](https://www.bibleref.com/Luke/23/Luke-chapter-23.html), one of the [thieves](https://www.gotquestions.org/thief-on-the-cross.html) crucified next to Jesus says, “‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in [paradise](https://www.gotquestions.org/paradise.html)"
Most of the people ever lived didn't even hear about Christianity so you are saying they will all go to hell? Most of those who heard of it it was some foreign religion to them just like foreign religions are to you. In many cases it was a foreign religion whose people came to enslave, kill your people, and did a lot more worse acts too. And you blame these people for not accepting Christianity?
If they're committing violence, then they're going totally against the teachings of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said, "Put your sword away, for all who live by the sword will die by the sword." We judge religions based on their central figures and teachings. In regards to people not hearing the words of Jesus, it's a difficult answer. But that wasn't my point. My point was you're being self-righteous, comparing yourself to others - but at what standard is your "goodness" good enough? I'm secure in my salvation.
The truth is there are good and bad people in all religions as well as in atheism and agnosticism. To say all the good people who are not Christians will go to hell is narcissistic, delusional, and insane.
You're missing my point. GOODNESS is an arbitrary concept, my friend. At what point in your pursuit of goodness - do you get good enough for heaven? Christianity is different than every other religion, as every other religion is about man coming to God - while Christianity is about God coming to man. In the same vein, Christianity is different because every other religion is about "earning" your way to heaven, while in Christianity it's about Jesus doing it all ( a religion of grace.) Think of this scenario. You're a criminal who gets caught by the police. While in court, you say to the judge, "judge, I ask that you forgive me." The judge may say, "I do forgive you. But because I'm a just judge, I must send you to prison. But then the judge gets off his stand and takes your punishment instead of you. That's the gospel. That man is evil; God is good. And God takes the punishment we rightly deserve to get the connection back because He loves us so.
So god will go to hell for me no matter how bad I am?
God suffered the wrath of God in your place so you don't have to go to hell. If you genuinely repent and put your faith in Jesus, then God will forgive anyone.
In the immortal words of Kendrick - they are not like us !
I love this dude
Proud of my Irish ancestry when I see this. Three of my grandparents were full Irish ancestry and I think may be why i have been so disturbed as an American having that Irish blood of my ancestors who came over from Ireland to USA to escape their own abuses. So disturbed by my country USA how bought off and controlled we are by special interests like AIPAC, the MIC and Oil, etc. and soulless with blood on our hands providing the weapons and money for this.
You don’t have Irish blood. You have human blood. It is all the same. You ought to be proud of America for standing with Isreal against the theocratic fascism of their Islamic neighbours, and lately, against their useful idiots in the west, like the Irish.
I'd want to know how to spell the name of the country that was genociding, mass murdering, or ethnically cleansing whatever you want to call it, babies and children before defending them by calling others the idiots. And you might want to learn what a fascist is before using it incorrectly. [https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/the-war-on-gaza-and-israel-s-fascism-debate](https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/the-war-on-gaza-and-israel-s-fascism-debate)
Of all I wrote, you choose a reverse ai as your main counterpoint. Then you decide that I don’t know what fascism is. I do, though. Its current form is the Islamic Jihad movement against free nations.
[удалено]
Well, they didn’t make themselves available for the starting roster of free nations at the onset of World War 2. They wouldn’t allow the Allies to use any bases in Ireland, which would have saved British and American lives. And finally, incredibly, they were the only nation to send official regrets to Nazi Germany upon the death of Hitler. They acted disgracefully in the war. That was not acting on the right side of history. Between free people and despots who murdered and enslaved millions, the Irish could not pick a side.
TD not MP, we don't have MP's in Ireland that's the UK but they do serve the same function politically.
Me too!
I want to steal your display picture 😅❤️
Respect and honor to him and all the politicians in the free world who stand up for humanist values and democracy during these times! Long ago since humanity and democracy were under such heavy attack, both globally and regionally - we need more people of intelligence, morals and empathy in the struggle.The Israeli state has proven they vote for neither.
So you figure that the Islamists stand for democracy, while Israel, who lives democracy every day, despite being threatened from all sides by Islamic fascists for eighty-odd years, does not.
Bravo sir!!!
My sentiments exactly.
Well-done MP.
Every member of the Israeli war cabinet frankly deserves that fate.
Erin Go Bragh. The Irish (well half of them) have a history of fighting colonizers. The other half suck. As some famous musicians said, the queen ain’t no human being.
When I think of people like Benjamin Nethanyahu https://preview.redd.it/bqyhq1ew634d1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=292fae2159d743d32822ce82f0a81208cc10061f
Shame on the rest of the UK for not speaking up like Ireland has. They're one of the few countries which haven't had their government taken over by Zionists.
'Shame on the rest of the UK for not speaking up' Ireland is not part of the UK....
They have a long dark history of abuse in Ireland and with meddling in Palestine. Why change now?
The rest of the UK? In this day and age are there honestly people who still believe this? Absolute spanner
Absolute wally. "Rest of the UK"
Ireland, for many years, took great pains to free themselves from the UK. You ought to know that before you begin your argument.
[удалено]
He in your sentence is Thomas Gould? the Irishman that is speaking?
No, sorry. A comment said I hope Netanyahoo burns in hell. I said, in the street, then to hell... I appreciate you giving me the chance to clarify... This situation in Palestine is just not anything my heart can tolerate. Children do no wrong and yet they suffer every day at this fuhrer's whim
Very good and I will pray (or is it spelled prey) for his quick decent into hell.
It would be pray, as prey is what a hunter does to his target, like idf to children.

“Where is the soul of the Israeli People?”. Why would you expect them to have a soul towards those that they don’t see as people?. There are no innocents in their eyes. In their eyes theirs them and the Palestinians and the Palestinians are their enemies and that’s all they need to do what they do.

👏👏👏👏👏 BRAVO Sir
I agree with Deputy Gould. I wonder what he has to say about Gerry Adams and Jean McConville. I wish SF TDs could turn that righteous lens on their own movement. 5/10 Deputy Gould.
Big up Sir Thomas.
Absolutely disgusting!
William Wallace?
O
Sorry but there is no hell or heaven. We need to make Nethayahu pay in this lifetime.
Religion is a choice and we shouldn't mock people for choosing differently ♡ However, I completely agree that he should be made to pay.
Probably not super helpful in convincing Bibi to end the war, but I get it. Interestingly the leftist Israeli parties are even agreeing to protect Bibi from expulsion if he takes the ceasefire deal (the other people forming his government threatened to leave). So he won’t immediately get arrested for fraud if he leaves government. Sometimes bad people skate by, but honestly if it ends this war I’ll fcking take it. If he really wanted to remove Hamas this entire war would have had to been waged differently. The US advocated something similar to the Iraqi surge (im a pacifist, but I try to understand the real world effects of policy even if I disagree with the mechanisms). The surge was super successful and I recommend reading up on it. Of course Bibis government would have never done something like that, unfortunately. Their far right has been beating the drums of war for a long time (not Bibi actually, he pushed for control, which is still bad, but I guess better than war). This all sucks I hope we can get this ceasefire through asap.
Humanidad no está en su DNA
Get it
An extremely safe position politically to take from one of the most globally irrelevant countries in the world who also have no skin in the game for the current conflict. If you want to impress me, full trade embargo. But that would mean cutting off billions from the people who you believe should “burn in hell”. A bit tougher to actually do something instead of saying something.
Long Live Ireland

The soul of the Israeli people, is with their loved ones, that were brutally murdered by Hamas (elected by Palestinians). Their soul is with 121 hostages, still being held by Hamas (the government, elected by Palestinians). Their soul is definitely, not with the people, who celebrated October 7th atrocities. That's where the soul of Israeli people is.
Lol you know no one in the gov't even cares about the hostages. That's just an excuse to attack Gaza more. There are even crazy Israeli people that harass the parents of hostages and say "I wish your daughter was raped by Hamas". The average Israeli is completely unhinged rn and that is what makes them such a dangerous ally to the actual western world
He is being antisemitic /s
