Michael D Higgins was asked by the Jewish community not to speak today. He ignored them. He was then asked to keep politics out of his speech. He ignored the pleas. Shame on him. He's an absolute disgrace.

- When Jewish people tell Irish people they've experienced more antisemitism in Ireland than elsewhere, they really should listen, instead of accusing them of being wrong, or of lying. Seriously... reflect on that.
- This conspiracy nonsense is tiresome. "They" didn't take Maria from anyone - Maria rocked up about 2 weeks from the deadline and expected to be ushered onto the ballot via a red carpet. Nobody's fault but her own.Remember what they took from you. (Photo: Mark Nixon)
- The people trying to justify the antisemitic attack on an Israeli Jew in Dublin because he had served in the IDF (which is compulsory in Israel) are despicable. They're justifying an organized assault on a man who did nothing but sit in his hotel bar. Scumbags.He was in the IDF, you know that army that is murdering innocent people. I guess thoughts and prayers are with Karen and Michelle at this very difficult time as their murdering hero was spat on.
- There's no sugar-coating how stupid this is.Mammies for Trans Rights 🏳️⚧️ heading to Dublin today to march for Palestine 🇵🇸 - no one’s kids are safe until all our kids are safe #freepalestine @ipsc48 #endgenocide #GazaCeasefire
- I've just seen a student (rte news) talking about her 1hr commute to college, like it's a terrible struggle. When I was in college most people I knew, myself included, took an hr (some much longer) to get to college. I really don't see the big deal.
- Except he didn't - he had his picture taken on it then went to Dublin.
- If Kneecap believe NI is "occupied" then why aren't they "resisting"? Why do they take its money and accept the its awards? Because they're a bunch of fake grifters cosplaying as terrorists.This is really twisted and deranged👇
- Note the deafening silence from some of Ireland's most vocal pro Palestinian academics today (one from Maynooth and another from UCD come to mind). Both are quick to call out "Nazis" but they're oddly blind in this instance.
- Where was Catherine Connolly today when Hamas were publicly executing Gazans without trial? Where were Kneecap? Where was Greta and Tadhg Hickey? None of those people gives a damn about Palestinians.It is incredible how cheap Palestinian lives really are to the “pro-Palestine” mafia which has spent all day celebrating Hamas killing dozens of members of the Doghmush clan (including women) and others throughout the Gaza Strip, simply by slapping the label “collaborators” and
- This woman applied and didn't meet the criteria. She appealed and again didn't meet criteria. What is wrong with us in this country that sob sob articles like this are written about Palestinians, as if the system is somehow evil because she didn't meet criteria?! It's sickening.Gazan doctor fears she will lose place on UCC course after visa application rejected irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/1…
- Embarrassing fools.Ballinrobe, Mayo! 🇮🇪 Word got out less than 2hrs ago that over 50 non Irish unvetted men were getting planted in the village. The entire community is on the streets! 🇮🇪🇮🇪 #IrelandIsFull
00:00 - I've said it many times now, but I've never had a debate about Israel with an Irish person on this platform who didn't resort to Holocaust inversion. Antisemitism is so normal here.
- Something notable about the assault on a Jewish man in Dublin tonight: the antisemite is obviously middle class and likely has had a decent education. Antisemitism is a bizarre, ever morphing form of racism - the rot, in this iteration, is top down.
