You just donât want to give any credit to politicians from other parties for making the right decision. Thatâs the cynicism in play here, not the decision itself.
The US is seemingly doing everything in its power to destroy its own power and influence across the world. First by completely morally bankrupting itself in service to a genocidal regime, and in November when it re-installs pro-Russia fascism in the US itself.
One place however that the US will not lose its influence is Ireland, because money. Itâs quite brave to make a morally just decision in the face of all that money and the political influence behind it.

How many times have I to point out this was in the programme for government. It wasnât done on a whim. Theyâd committed to doing this for a long time.
Theyâve been âtalkingâ about it since the late 1960âs. Nearly 60yrs.
Whatâs your point?
Committing to something and not doing it for 60yrs until it suits yourself is a bit of cod.

It was committed to in the programme for government about four years ago. First you said it was done on a whim and now you say it was committed to sixty year ago. Youâre not making any sense.
@Tim_Riggins agrees with this post and finds it chilling. You are making light of this personâs lived experience.
One of the things I love about Twitter is how all the Israeli genocide apologists have adopted the touchy feely language of the online liberal left in order to console themselves in the face of their lust for genocide meeting with such opposition internationally, at least outside of their client governments.
Solidarity with you, @Irelandisacesspit583753039, @Fuckireland4723939 and @Palestinedoesnotexist1948 in the face of such anti-Semitism. We stand with you.
Aontu has massively misjudged its target voters. Not many anti-abortion/pro-Palestine people out there.
Recognising the State of Palestine at this point doesnât particularly bother me.
Pretending as though there isnât anti sensitising and making anti semitic inferences does.
Itâs rather puzzling how Israelâs minister for combatting anti-Semitism would choose to share a stage with some of Europeâs most noted anti-Semites.
Itâs almost like they arenât interested in combatting anti-Semitism at all?
Could somebody more knowledgeable than me perhaps explain why Israelâs strongest support base in Europe now is the far right?

So these people are now Israelâs allies? Can anybody explain this alliance in plain language? Whatâs going on?
Israeli minister addresses convention hosted by Spanish far-right party with neo-Nazi ties
In Spain, Vox is controversial both for its platform, which includes restricting abortion access and domestic violence laws and shuttering the ministry of equality, and for a history of neo-Nazis.
But as itâs stated above, itâs antisemitism. Who are you to deny that?
Except it isnât. Did you just get excited with the name of the account?
Owen Jones made an awful gobshite of Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and Dan OâBrien on TV3 tonight.
OâBrien seems to be an amoral gobshite who is implicitly pro-Israel. Speculating about Israel deliberately putting Irish peacekeepersâ lives at risk as a result of Ireland recognising Palestine, and implying that Israel would be justified in doing this and that Ireland should change its policy.
Jones correctly pointed out the bleedinâ obvious that if Israel did this it would be an utterly unacceptable act that would mean that Israel is a state that openly menaces Ireland.
But this seemed beyond OâBrienâs comprehension, or perhaps he actually wants this to happen.
Good to see youâve seen the light mate.
