The author said they had just watched Lucy Williamson and likened her to “Lord Haw Haw”. They questioned whether she had asked Gazans how elections might affect them or why she could not, and criticised her for speaking with locals in wine bars. #Gaza #Elections #MediaCritique #IL #PS

The author said a US military member had died there and questioned why he had been doing something before a game. They also asked why fans needed it as entertainment, why the cheerleaders could not react accordingly and why the game went ahead, describing the place as run-down and militarised. #USA #Military #Sports #USA

The post’s author claimed that Zelenskyy had spent the day outlining the hundreds of billions of euros he would need from European workers and when he would need the money. The author contrasted this with the situation at home and asked when people would become aware. #Zelenskyy #UkrainianCrisis #EuropeanPolitics #EU #UA

The author announced a new podcast and criticized the government for implying that people needed a booklet to cope with cold weather. They also said Fine Gael treated twerking as a way to make economic hardship seem appealing, while Donald Trump viewed cheap Russian diesel as a major achievement and Europe viewed paying him heavily to act as a middleman the same way. #politics #currentevents #podcast #IE #US #RU #EU

The author wrote that people in the EU were going broke because of Ursula von der Leyen’s and Kaja Kallas’s policies, and said their response was to ignore the hardship while expressing support for other causes and offering solidarity. They described the EU as an idea they loved with many benefits, but said it was collapsing because of what they characterised as weak and unintelligent leaders. #EU #politics #solidarity #EU

The author claimed that the US had started the war in Ukraine, urged the EU to ban Russian energy and disrupted other energy supply chains. They said the US then pushed the EU to buy energy from it at inflated prices, despite sourcing it cheaply from Russia and selling it on for a large profit. #UkraineWar #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #US #UA #EU #RU

The author asked whether Israel had hacked accounts around the world to post “I’m a Zionist”, whether many people did not know what a Zionist was, and whether many felt inferior and self-loathing. #Zionism #Israel #SocialMedia #IL

The author argued that people who cared about victims should focus on facts, and said otherwise victims were being used as a political tool. The author claimed Egypt had warned Israel in advance and been ignored, that the UAE had warned Benjamin Netanyahu and been ignored, and that Israel had funded Hamas. #Victims #Facts #PoliticalTool #EG #AE #IL

The author described Hamas’s attacks on October 7 three years earlier as abhorrent, while alleging that Israel had aided them. They also claimed that Israel had killed many of its own citizens and hundreds of Gazan civilians that day, and questioned why those deaths were absent from commemorations if they were meant to remember tragedy and crime. #Gaza #Israel #Tragedy #IL #PS

The author criticized a new podcast, saying its story was so implausible it would have been rejected by Hollywood. They compared it to an episode of *Air Crash Investigation* written by someone with no experience investigating crashes, and claimed the account had more holes than the aircraft allegedly did. https://t.co/zeXIiOlnLs #Podcast #AirCrashInvestigation #Storytelling

The author wrote that Israel had said sport and politics should not mix, while allegedly spending two weeks harassing Irish players and management over politics. They questioned whether calling that behaviour bullying and hypocritical amounted to a slur. #Israel #SportsPolitics #Bullying #IL #IE

The author questioned why no genuine images of the damaged Air Dubai aircraft on the tarmac had appeared the previous day, and claimed that many major media outlets had used AI-generated images showing a torn-off rudder. The author said those images had the wrong registration number and tail type, did not resemble Tabuk Airport, and differed from pictures of the aircraft, which they said had been parked at a military ramp. https://t.co/YKqHG537Ug #AirDubai #AviationNews #MediaTruth #AE #SA

The author wrote that precedent suggested clubs could have strong legal cases against Manchester City over alleged cheating, seeking damages ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions based on effects on titles, European places, relegation and cup progression.

The author questioned a scenario in which a passenger supposedly walked down the aisle of a plunging plane, entered the cockpit, put the pilot in a chokehold and then levelled the aircraft. They sarcastically asked whether the passenger would next turn to the camera and say “shalom”, adding laughing emojis. https://t.co/DiDjPC2HSs #Aviation #Humor #CrazyStories #IL

Why did the account that put up videos of Israeli fans monkey chanting Irish players in Hungary get suspended? Is racism now okay but depends who does it, and highlighting the right people doing it means a breach of rules? #Racism #FreeSpeech #Accountability #IL #IE #HU

Israel has, both during the game and during the aftermath, killed civilians in two nations. Just a reminder of what matters. #Israel #Civilians #HumanRights #IL #JO
