Couldn't be more proud of @aaronrowemusic for having the principle and courage to stand selflessly with Palestine & humanity against Israel's genocide and the billionaires who support their crimes. He has upheld Ireland's proud tradition of standing against colonialism & Empire. #FreePalestine #StandWithHumanity #Colonialism #PS #IL #IE

Disappointing and shameful move by @edsheeran to drop @macklemore from his tour because he spoke up for Palestine. With Ireland's history of oppression and suffering under colonialism, surely Ed should understand the need to stand with victims of genocide and occupation. #EdSheeran #Macklemore #Palestine #IE #PS

Tomorrow, Ireland will say no to Trump! He is not welcome here. We need people from all over Ireland to show up and protest against Toxic Trump. Stand together in solidarity against his far-right hate. Saturday 12th September 1pm Garden of Remembrance https://t.co/CJm9zKMS7k #NoToTrump #IrelandAgainstHate #SolidarityProtest #IE

Disgracefully, dara centres owned by tech billionaires are hoovering up a quarter of Ireland's electricity and driving up energy bills for ordinary people but are paying half the price for their electricity that ordinary households are paying! Our proposal will reverse that. #EnergyCrisis #TechBillionaires #Ireland #IE

The government have been forced back to the Dáil to implement half measures because they fear protests. What should be in front of the Dáil today are concrete plans to shield working people from paying the costs of Trump and Netanyahu’s wars. https://t.co/yQ0GTgSj3q #Dáil #WorkingPeople #Protests #US #IL

Tragic and terrible that Glen Hansard is gone. An incredible talent and someone who again and again used his passionate voice to challenge social injustice, war and racism. Very proud to have worked with him in a number of campaigns over the years. Deep sympathies to his family. #GlenHansard #SocialJustice #InMemoriam #Therearenospecificcountryreferencesinthetweetprovided.Therefore #theresponseis:

Just left prison visit in Ulm Germany with Daniel Tatlow Devalley.. Shocked at the inhumane conditions. Locked-up 23 hours a day alone for 10 months, treated as a dangerous criminal for protesting against the export of weapons to Israel's genocide in Gaza. Brutal and inhumane. #HumanRights #PrisonConditions #FreeDanielTatlow #DE #IL #PS

Saint John of God’s must recognise the vital work dementia carers do at St Joseph's. These workers provide essential care to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. It's time for action to give them the pay, conditions, and recognition they deserve. https://t.co/fuWdWJRitz #DementiaCare #HealthWorkers #Recognition #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Delighted to be speaking at the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress. This conference nails the lie that opposing Zionism and standing against genocide is antisemitic. I look forward to joining some of the leading Jewish anti-Zionist voices calling for an end to Israeli apartheid. https://t.co/rWD7Sr3w5h #AntiZionism #IsraeliApartheid #JewishVoices #IL

Pathetically inadequate tokenism from the government that only 2 weeks ago voted down our bill to impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel. Also does this mean Netanyahu and others who orchestrated the Gaza genocide are free to travel to Ireland? #Tokenism #GazaGenocide #Sanctions #IL #IE

Big crowd waiting at airport for return of the brave Irish participants in the Gaza Flotilla. If only our government had the guts & principles of these activists we would have sanctions on the terrorist state of Israel that would be real solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 https://t.co/KVZfKI9bpT #GazaFlotilla #FreePalestine #Solidarity #IE #PS #IL

If you are so "appalled and shocked" by the treatment of the flotilla activists why did the government walk into the Dáil after issuing this statement and vote against sanctioning Israel when the same flotilla activists had explicitly called on you to support the sanctions bill? #Flotilla #Israel #Sanctions #IL

Shameful! FF, FG & Ind government publicly condemn Israeli regime for kidnap and abuse of Gaza flotilla on tv & radio,then vote(77-62) against the bill to sanction Israel that flotilla activists asked them to support. Media has a public service obligation to expose this duplicity https://t.co/4NHMTRCP2X #GazaFlotilla #Israel #MediaAccountability #IL #PS

Utter hypocrisy, from the Taoiseach and the government. Say they are "appalled"but are now voting against our bill to impose sanctions on the Israeli regime that kidnapped and is abusing our citizens and those on Gaza flotilla. @rte should not allow this to go unchallenged #hypocrisy #sanctions #GazaFlotilla #IL #GA

Israel has attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers, including Irish civilians, in international waters en route to bring aid to Gaza Unless major pressure is applied, our government will continue to be complicit and support Israel’s absolute impunity. We need sanctions. #FreeGaza #HumanRights #SanctionsNow #IL #IE #PS

Israel has once again attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers in international waters for attempting to bring food to Gaza. A state that starves a people, attacks aid missions and commits genocide has no legitimacy whatsoever. Israel’s impunity must end. We need sanctions #EndIsraeliImpunity #GazaUnderSiege #HumanRights #IL #PS

Shocking slight of hand being performed by government this minute in Dáil under guise of an "innocent" Industrial development bill government smuggle in effort to facilitate & hide war profiteering, genocide complicity and an attack on Irish neutrality. Will speak now to explain #IndustrialDevelopment #WarProfiteering #IrishNeutrality #IE
