Irish MP: 'I hope benjamin netanyahu burns in hell'

Irish Member of Parliament, Thomas Gould, became emotional over the death of children in Gaza following israel's attacks on Rafah last weekend. 'I hope [israeli Prime Minister] benjamin netanyahu burns in hell in the same way those children burned', he told Parliament.

"Why are Irish people so quick to defend the Palestinians and to call out Israel?"

This is a list of what the British authorities were allowed to do to the local Irish population in Northern Ireland:

This Act was only repealed in the 1970s.

Violence, oppression, and discrimination against the Irish is not ancient history. Many Irish people are still feeling the effects today. Northern Ireland has one of the highest rates of PTSD in the world. It has some of the worst mental health statistics in general. It's still plagued by political dysfunction, which is a direct result of Britain's colonial activity in Ireland.

So why do the Irish support Palestine?

It's because many of us have lived through very similar things to what they are going through.

#and if you go back further in Ireland's history there are even more unfortunate similarities #the genocide by Cromwell and arguably the Great Famine was a genocide or at least heavily exacerbated by British policy in Ireland #the Ulster plantations which were very similar to the settler colonialism happening in the West Bank & which ultimately led to the Troubles #these things are heavily present in Irish folk memory #colonialism has patterns and colonised people can easily recognise it and see it for what it is #ireland stands with palestine #ireland #palestine #israel #gaza

Alfred's gift giving habits at Christmas time fall into two categories

He was so busy that forget about Christmas until 48hrs before when his Google alert reminded him. He tossed his black card at some terrified intern with a "ya know...just get whatever you think the former British empire would want". So everyone gets a summer sausage/Wisconsin cheese gifts basket that costs more then what the average person makes in a month

Everyone gets very heartfelt gift that he specifically picked out for them based on one 10 minute conversation they had 5 years ago. Every time this happens everyone is thrown for a loop because honestly, everyone in the family assumes there is always only a 45-55% chance Alfred is actually paying attention to them when they are talking to him. When in reality he is always listening to them and its just that its rare he actually dose anything with the information he has collected

#alfred knowing everyones secretes because his siblings will say things in front of him because they need to get it off their chests #but they don't want anyone to know so they say it to Alfred as they assume its not even registering #hws america #aph america #alfred f jones #hws canada #hws england #hws australia #hws new zealand #hws ireland #hws scotland #hws wales #hetalia

Something that gets left out in some eclectic discussions of the celtic fire festivals is that they are the end of one season and the start of another

Imbolg- Start of Spring

Bealtaine- Start of Summer

Lúnasa- Start of Autumn

Samhain- Start of Winter

Which makes sense because in Ireland the seasons are generally defined as:

Spring – February, March, April

Summer – May, June, July

Autumn – August, September, October

Winter – November, December, January

Like if you went up to a random person in Ireland today and asked them what season February is in they’d say Spring.

Seasons are obviously different across the world, in fact many places don’t have 4 seasons so the misunderstanding makes sense but seeing people frame Imbolc as “Oh its not a spring festival its the just bringing back of light” is just factually wrong.

Since it goes unmentioned unless you live here, I'm gonna be the one to bring attention to this;

The UK House Of Commons has passed the Troubles Legacy Bill

What does this mean? "It would stop new Troubles-era cases and inquests from starting, and offer a conditional amnesty to those accused of killings. If implemented, the law would apply to former members of the security forces and to ex-paramilitaries"

Ie; the UK government has just passed a bill that prevents victims of the Troubles from bringing former British soldiers and paramilitary members to court over murdering innocents. All under the guise of 'drawing a line under the events of the past'.

The only ones really for this bill are, naturally, veterans groups. I cannot stress enough that all the major political parties of Northern Ireland are against this bill.

The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) has also stated the Irish attorney general is preparing advice on whether the case could be taken to the European Court of Human Rights.

It's a slap in the face to everyone here, to the friends and families of those wrongfully killed.

#drag rambles #northern ireland #north of ireland #troubles legacy bill #I'm giving this fuckin thing tags #the bill still needs to go the lords again next week #then be sent for 'royal asssent'#i don't even think we can do anything #but we go ignored so often so god fucking dammit if I've to be the one to bring attention to how fucked this is then I will #so yeah. it's 1:30 in the morning and all I feel is visceral rage

Please tell me you all have seen this story which has been gripping the nation of Ireland

It started with this report about a local "astro physics enthusiast" finding what he thought was a crater and meteor on a North Dublin beach:
