US getting ready to attack Venezuela.

The rhetoric of curbing narcotics trade is just an excuse as Trump plans to pardon convicted drugs tsars at home.

It is about vanity, control of oil/gas and minerals and new Imperialism.

Rename Herzog Park in Rathgar. Link in bio to email Dublin City Councillors before Monday's vote.

Chaim Herzog fought for Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the 1967 Six Day War.

He should not be honoured with a memorial park in Dublin.

Some contrast between politicians bigging up tech companies and AI following the Taoiseach's visit to the Microsoft offices and the news about the Covalen workers
Staff at Irish Meta client firm told 400 jobs at risk just weeks ahead of Christmas
One employee whose job is now at risk told The Journal that the news has come as a complete shock.

A French historian who spent a month in Gaza says he found “utterly convincing” evidence that Israeli forces enabled looting of aid convoys. He documented drone strikes on security teams guarding trucks, leaving them exposed to gangs as famine deepened.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

I can see why An Taoiseach would conveniently ignore Herzog's role in the Nakba

After all, acknowledging it might require acknowledgement of the Irish State's complicity in the destruction of Palestine

Which we've been busily laundering since the late 1990s

Taoiseach says 'divisive' proposal to rename Herzog Park should be 'withdrawn in its entirety'
Micheál Martin said that scrapping the name would erase the Jewish community’s “distinctive and rich contribution to Irish life”.

The ironic thing about this

Is that it was probably how Herzog the younger's enthusiasm for the current genocide

Which drew attention to the name of this park

Imagine the massacres you have to ignore to state that this is the first time the DOD is run by a rabid war criminal
How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Also ban evictions for sales & limit 2nd homes

Like in Netherlands Germany France Denmark Slovenia Sweden Belgium Spain Portugal Italy & Switzerland

For a country that owes its independence to fight for tenants rights, why do we still prioritise landlords?
