@flying_rodent I saw Iraq 2003 as the Western rehabilitation of aggressive war, and it seems like Gaza 2023 is going to be the year that the West abandons the idea of the distinction between the military and the civillian. Arguably sanctions have softened us up for this.

It was revealed that Israel deliberately killed the family of Journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh and threatened to kill him if he stayed in Gaza.
A senior American official told the Prime Minister of Qatar that Al-Dahdouh must be removed from the front lines or he too will be killed.

- The Triple Lock has nothing to do with neutrality.
- Defence spending has nothing to do with neutrality.
- The North Atlantic naval alliance has nothing to do with neutrality.
- Creating a logistics hub for the US army in Shannon has nothing to do with neutrality.
Gaslighting.

Please share. Everyone needs to know and read what the mission is they want to send Irish troops on.
1. Just reading through the stated EU mission to Lebanon that they want to send Irish troops on. They are not even hiding that its a zionist mission. No condemnation of Israels occupation of Lebanon or levelling of 100s of villages...

What a gross betrayal of the legacy of the institution once led by Stanley Fischer, a simple Rhodesian youth whose trajectory through academic economics and the IMF was never tainted by global race politics
On eve of Israeli election, the Bank of Israel, a supremely apolitical institution, is forced to weigh in politically en.globes.co.il/en/article-boi…

Extraordinary photograph of a world utterly destroyed
1929, Jerusalem, Palestine 🇵🇸
The First Palestine Arab Women’s Congress, also known as the First Arab Women’s Congress or the Palestinian Arab Women’s Congress, was a landmark women’s rights conference held in Jerusalem on the 26th of October 1929.
Organized by the Arab Palestine, the congress marked the association’s inaugural public event and represented the first organized, collective entry of Palestinian women into the political arena.

I like how any WASP who commits a crime immediately gets relegated to hillbilly status. In point of fact: "Elizabeth Holmes's great-grandmother, Bettie Fleischmann Holmes, once owned [was the largest stock holder of] the radio network that became CBS."
@GregGrandin Holmes gentile roots are from southern Ohio and probably Scotch-Irish, who have a different culture than the WASPs. A WASP wouldn't be so overt in ripping people off, unlike some whose roots are from Appalachia.

Rising rent and the cost of living crisis have claimed another victim, with the oldest Lebanese restaurant in Ireland set to close after the bank holiday weekend.
The Cedar Tree, which opened on St Andrew’s Street in Dublin in June 1986, will take its final orders on Monday evening and has invited regulars to come for its “last hurrah”

So not neutral then. Not peacekeeping.
The measure is part of a move to transform the Irish military into a force capable of the home defence of the country along with taking part in EU expeditionary operations such as the EU Rapid Deployment Capability, also known as the EU Battlegroup.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that the law says 'No Irish troops shall deploy without Russian authorisation'. It doesn't.
There is no veto on deployment. There is a safeguard called the Triple Lock. It aligns deployment with international law. That's all.

The Triple Lock Reformed
Ireland must be able to make our own democratic decisions on where we deploy our peacekeepers, not be vetoed by Russia or any other country.
