Irish hearts are with the Palestinian people, according to the Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, who called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the targeting of civilians in Gaza.

At his address to delegates at the Green Party annual convention in Cork city, Minister Ryan said the first response must be to condemn “the slaughter of Israeli citizens” in attacks by Hamas two weeks ago.

All white culture is evil
I don’t know about that. We could ship Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Joe Biden, Paul Ryan, and numerous other politicians back to Ireland, the land of their ancestors and I would be far from heartbroken. While we are at it, we could ship the entire Kennedy Clan back to the Emerald Isle.
WTH is wrong with the Irish? Inbreeding? Alcohol? Or is it genetics compounded by lack of carbohydrates during the potato famine?
They’d sure be singing a different tune if millions of muzzies migrated to their country.
They’ll sure be singing a different tune WHEN millions of muzzies migrate to their country.

When Hitler killed himself, Irish president Eamon de Valera called the German ambassador to Ireland to offer his condolences.
