All the times the DUP broke the law and ignored the court. Over Irish language, over north south meetings Lawlessness? DUP, Loyalist commentators et all are pushing a bit truck load of hyperbole on what is demonstrably peaceful protest.

That politicians are being abused is not new. Everyone see the abuses female politicians of all walks get. Loyalists even attacked Naomi Longs office, petrol bombing police outside, nearly killing PSNI. A masked mob showed up at her house last year.

Really telling they are full score behind forcing a march at Drumcree when a legal counsel for Garvaghy residents was killed by loyalists for her advocacy last time Unionists have overplayed their hands massively They started it, they may finish it with bringing down stormont

Not content with AI, Unionists also have fake twitter accounts mass producing the same tweet 😂
I'm no Orangeman but I can tell you my view on the garvaghy rd thing as an outsider looking in. It gives you a tiny glimpse of how difficult it would be for Protestants in a united Ireland? First they came for the marchers. Then they came for the Presbyterians. Then they came for

I can only assume that all the journalists and political leaders missed the “nazi” comments aimed at sf today by the chief negotiator and advisor to the lodge.

The absolute gall to talk of moral blindness from Israel Israeli team and retinue have nothing but abusive and unsporting As everything, like sports, culture and academia, it's all theatre to present Israel as some paragon of virtue Nothing can be further from the truth.
While some use the football field as their political theatre, for us this is personal. 1939: Irish players raised their arms in salute to Nazi Germany. 2026: Irish players bowed their heads during Israel’s anthem. Different generations. The same moral blindness. Today, Israel’s players wear black armbands to remember those brutally massacred by Hamas on October 7 - including former professional footballer Lior Asulin. Some of us have skin in the game. Others just make a show of it.

Israel uses everything cynically towards it's end. They refused to recognise Armenian genocide until relations with Turkey when down the toliet after Gaza, so now have recognised it - whilst commuting crimes of genocidal nature on their neighbours: annexing, bombing, Apartheid.

Armenia 🇦🇲 was far from impressed. Israel is morally weak, it does not do the right thing out of morality but of political cynicism. Always.

Polanski has been critical and wants amendments but he wasn't there, didn't vote and he hasn't shown leadership The motion does seem massively simplistic and almost delegitmises Israel as a state when in all reality, that is not going anywhere. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6jd…

The wording also seems to be very simplistic about the domestic policy against people who hold zionist views. In a democracy, a political ideology like zionism and a homeland for Palestinians are legitimate aspirations. Ultra zionism + islamism are not and a threat to order

The war on civilians continue in Gaza and West Bank and national govt should hold their nerve on sanctioning Israel and as individualsa should try our best to boycott Israel ecomomicly, it's culture, arts and academia as once we did against apartheid S Africa

You've handed SF more power you dolt.
In my view, this is wholly wrong. It also works from the premise that unionists must continue to passively remain victims in SF’s culture war & supremacism, because if we do not do so, this might energise the mob’s base. The problem with that, is that what happens when unionism has nothing left to give? It’s a crocodile moment alright: we’ve stopped feeding it.
