Michal Cotler-Wunsh @CotlerWunsh: There is NO genocide in Gaza. There is war - waged by genocidal terrorists for whom human tragedy is the strategy; who use own people as human shields/sacrifices; who use int’l ‘humanitarian aid’ & civilian infrastructure to construct hundreds of km of underground hell. A war that would be over on October 8 if the 251 human beings stolen & held in standing violation of law & morality - 4 of them since 2014 - were returned; & if Hamas war criminals were held to account & prevented from openly declared intent to perpetrate genocidal October 7...

A new study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) alleges that major U.S. and European news outlets served as uncritical megaphones for Hamas-linked narratives during the war with Israel in Gaza, amplifying claims that ultimately undermined a U.S.-backed food relief operation while shielding the terrorist group from scrutiny.

The Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs has heard stinging criticism of the Occupied Territories Bill from former minister for justice Alan Shatter, who likened it to legislation passed in Germany in the 1930s. Mr. Shatter described the proposed legislation as the first “Boycott Jews bill” by a European government since 1945, and replicated the type of legislation initiated by the Nazis.
