An Israeli soldier filmed himself repeatedly slapping a kidnapped Palestinian man who was bound and blindfolded, while forcing him to sing in Hebrew, “Everything is good,” for a TikTok video. This happened in the occupied West Bank, where there is NO HAMAS. This is the daily reality Palestinians have endured under Israeli occupation for decades. Let that sink in.

We got Ben Lowry, Ruth Dudley Edwards and Owen Polley cancelled from the Belfast Newsletter. There’s no reason we can’t achieve the same at the Irish Times👇

Everyone who lines this plagiarists pockets via his book festival or podcast is supporting an anti-worker dog whistling academic fraud. People who appear on stage with him are endorsing his opinions.

We smile wryly at Pat + his sub-editors😀 The headline today is as predictable as night follows day. Translated as - ‘We are happy with partition + still don’t like Reunification’😂 Expect ever more silly season article the closer we get to Unity

With her bumbling idiocy and complete inability to do the job she was given, I think it’s fair to wonder if Kaja Kallas might be a bigger threat to the long-term security of Europe than Russia is.

Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband want the British public to believe they care about Palestinian suffering. They claim to have stopped arming a genocidal army and sanctioned illegal settlements in the West Bank. They are both liars. They are not just bystanders to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, they are complicit in it. And they know it.
EXCLUSIVE: After a months-long investigation, Channel 4 News’s FactCheck team has obtained a dossier of new files on UK arms export licences to Israel.

Even more brazen: Ukrainian terrorists precision drone struck an elderly man on a bicycle, killing him. "A Ukrainian drone attacked a cyclist at close range in the Bryansk region. The man died. A 76-year-old man died in the village of Churoviichi, Bryansk region. He was riding an electric bicycle when he was attacked by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone. This was reported by Governor Yegor Kovalchuk." t.me/miroshnik_r/23124
As I've written before, it is never a mistake when a Ukrainian drone attacks civilian buses: Ukraine intentionally targets civilian passenger buses and has been doing so for years. I saw the aftermath of numerous buses hit by Ukrainian shelling in Donetsk in 2022. With Ukraine using precision attack drones to target the buses, there is no way anyone can argue these are accidental strikes. Rodion Miroshnik: ⚡️According to preliminary data, the number of passenger buses that have been attacked by Ukrainian militants since the beginning of 2026 has reached 379. The number of civilians injured as a result of Ukrainian attacks on passenger buses has already reached at least 585, of whom 81 have died. At least 37 children have been injured, and 4 have died. This is one of the cynical and deliberate aspects of the terrorist war waged by the Kyiv regime. The number of civilian buses attacked has increased sharply after the European Union provided a €90 billion credit to the Zelensky regime and deliberately allocated a portion of the funds to purchase attack drones. These "killer drones" are being supplied to Ukrainian terrorists, who are using them to target and kill civilians." t.me/miroshnik_r/23118 My Related from 2022, Donbass: t.me/EvaKarene_Bartlett/8900 t.me/EvaKarene_Bartlett/1222… t.me/EvaKarene_Bartlett/8964

Public sector workers are not paid more And the latest data from the OECD shows general government (includes semi-states and non-profits controlled by public authorities) as a share of total employment in Ireland is 10th highest of 36 at 20%. In Finland it’s 26% and Denmark 28%
David McWilliams: If public sector workers are paid more, get more holidays, can’t be fired and have guaranteed pensions, something must give, surely? Are other workers shouldering this burden, and why are they not more pissed off? Read here: irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

This is the height of journalistic discourse on the Ukraine war. Senior @IrishTimes reporter @RMcGreevy1301 has spent4yrs saying 'putin puppet' to anyone who asks a question outside the approved parameters. He admits its a proxy war but has failed to pass that info to the public.

The political-media establishment is outraged that Russia "suddenly" wants to reform the European security architecture. I wrote this article almost two years ago, arguing that Russia has been saying the same thing for 30+ years. glenndiesen.substack.com/p/t…

Straight off, the whole article is based on a falsehood Public sector workers are not paid more Unless you're arguing that Doctors should be paid the same waiters

Have you worked out the psy-ops yet? RUC had policing + agent primacy since 1980 onwards. Protecting agents took precedence over crime prevention. The RUC Source Unit managed the day to day intel from *all* agents and fed to TCG (RUC/MI5/MOD). Any big agent scandal now? Blame MI5

Our political leaders can have their photgraphs with Joe Biden. Just let them remember that the Palestinians they claim to so passionately support have had to live - and die - with his decisions. Todays column in @irishexaminer irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…?

The very fact this story is a few days old & so far there’s silence from @rtenews @IrishTimes @Independent_ie We know they know about this potential scandal which begs the question, what scandals do they know about that we don’t know about because they’re running political cover
Simon Harris – who recently criticised jobseekers and NGOs – and his parents won’t answer questions about whether the Harrises were eligible for a state-backed housing scheme that saw their €600,000 home sold and leased back to them after they’d accumulated mortgage arrears. ontheditch.com/simon-harris-…

Establishment voices implying Irish unity costs are prohibitive. Bank bailout cost €42bn. Modelling puts unity at €3bn in year one, with break-even in 5–9 years. Little-Irelander thinking sheds no light – Irish unity will build a stronger, more dynamic economy. 🇮🇪
