The 17 states who voted for the illegal blockade to starve Cuba are an extraordinary list of scumbag regimes.
Headed of course by US, Israel and Ukraine.
NOW: World majority demands an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba for the 34th time, in annual UN vote. Vote board:

The "expert guest" on @morningireland this morning was PM of Israel when it murdered 1,200 Palestinians in Gaza in late 2008 to early 2009.
Ehud Olmert is not interested in equal rights, justice, or democracy. He cares that the true face of an #Apartheid state has been exposed.

Wonder will @edmundheaphy and @rtenews cover this?
As they gloss over "the only democracy in the Middle East".
#Israel is a settler-colonial #Apartheid state, where these "settlers" can vote in elections while Palestinians have no say in who gets to destroy their lives.
Israeli settlers attacked Russian-Israeli journalist Andrey Ilyich Khrzhanovskiy, along with foreign journalists Adele Shoko and Jasper Nathaniel, near Hebron in the occupied West Bank, on Wednesday

"Hey, it's a democracy!"
"No it's not, Palestinians can't vote. It's Apartheid."
"OK, well it's still way better than other places."
Apologists for #Zionism really set a low bar for themselves ...
Okay, the 'fully' may not be merited here. But seeing Arab women, in niquab, coming away from the polling booth is more than we'll see, for many a long year, in Afghanistan. Arab voters in Israel exist, and have some electoral influence.

There were 13,000 people, of all ages, at that @macklemore gig.
No need to insult their intelligence.
It's settler-colonialism, ethnic cleansing, land theft and genocide.
It's not complicated at all when Irish people see others being oppressed and dehumanised by colonisers.
This was deeply disturbing to watch. Most of the audience invited to chant “Fuck Israel”, “Free Palestine” and “Fuck Zionists” have little understanding of the history behind the conflict, Israel or Palestine.
What should be a worldwide campaign for a peaceful solution increasingly looks like a cult movement consumed by inciting hatred against a whole country and Jewish people.
The scenes were chilling, with an unsettling echo of the Hitler Youth rallies of the Second World War.

United Airlines illegally transported US government-supplied gun components for the Israel Defense Forces through Irish territory this month.
Shannon Airport celebrated its "long-standing partnership" with United Airlines earlier this year.

Mary will be waiting a long time for the votes from East Jerusalem, Gaza, Bethlehem and Hebron to come in.
It's called #Apartheid
The most amazing aspect of the Israeli elections is the fully participating Arab electorate. Please tell Sally Rooney that Israel is a democracy!

The "mute" button is great.
One far-right Zionist has been abusing me constantly for at least six months, totally unaware that I never see any of his posts.
Great tips from Brazil on how they turned things around for Lula online and offline:
1. Don’t ever engage, block far-right accounts immediately.
2. Don't debunk, focus on making new content on your platform.
3. Use all the tools at your disposal.
4. Be equally online and offline.

An Irish European Parliament worker who was refused entry to Israel has said that he believes his nationality was a factor, as has another man who was refused on the same day.

Israel literally lets anybody from Berlin to Brooklyn magically become an "instant citizen" upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport, depending on their religion.
Yet a family from Gaza cannot ever return to the village they were ethnically cleansed from by foreign colonisers in 1948.
Well yes.
Unlike Ireland, Israel don't allow just anybody in.
Say it with me...

Apparently, at least according to Alan Shatter, "Free Palestine" is a call for the extermination of 8m Jewish Israelis or their expulsion to an unknown destination. Of course it isn't.
Does a United Ireland call for the extermination of Northern Unionists or their expulsion? No. Of course it doesn't.
This is just an attempt to delegitimise the aspiration for Palestinian self-determination/statehood and an end to the systemic oppression & apartheid.
We had last night in Dublin an Irish musical version of one of the Nuremberg Rallies of the 1930s.
Manipulated, indoctrinated, excited young people, who know little of the history & complexity of Israel/Palestinian conflict, the demonic slaughter that took place at the Nova Music festival, Hamas promises to repeat it & Hamas refusing to disarm & obstructing a UN sanctioned peace process, drinking the Cool Aid of Israel & Jew Hate.
All hidden behind a beguiling “ Free Palestine” slogan that calls for the eradication of the worlds only Jewish state & either the extermination of 8 million Jewish Israelis, half of world Jewry, or their expulsion to an unknown destination.
And I once wondered how come the vast majority of Germans adopted, embraced & celebrated Hitlers Jew hating Nazi ideology during the 1930s. The exuberant excitement & dancing at Dublin’s 3 Arena gives all the insight required to understand it all.
And, of course, RTE promoted the event not only on the Late Late Show but also on its news website & following its conclusion gave it an ecstatic news slot on Radio One’s Morning Ireland.
A public service insight into today’s Ireland.

Fun fact: 400,000 native Palestinian residents of Jerusalem are defined by Israeli law as neither Palestinian citizens, nor Israeli. As a result, they don't have political representation anywhere and vote nowhere - not even in the fake occupation instrument called 'the Palestinian Authority'.
With the knowledge, blessing and approval of almost every country in the world, and every international institution, on top of every other atrocity and crime against humanity documented, Israel holds 400,000 people under full ,formal denial of every political right given to any other human being on this planet.
No vote. No parliament. No representation. Transparent subjects.
