Why is
@rte
continuing to invite the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland on shows and not allow her to expand on Israel’s response to Oct 7th? She is spoken down to and really quite rudely spoken to. It’s not public broadcasting, it’s a biased political view.
@TodaywithClaire

@IuliiaMendel
Several incidents in Irish airspace too in recent years. Russia constantly pushing boundaries of independent nations. Until they went one step further in independent Ukraine. Russia needs to be stopped.
@adammaanit
@shinyponies1
I’m sorry for your loss Adam. 7/10 changed everything. It was a day of great evil. But the Eurovision results tonight proved that there is an overwhelming silent majority who support Israel and were finally given an opportunity to make a clear statement. We support Israel! 🇮🇱
@thejournal_ie
To act as voyeurs at such a horrific scene is unconscionable. We’re losing the ability for grief, compassion and privacy. These teenagers have parents and siblings for whom this night is the worst in their lives. Be kind and back off.
@fellaraktar
@valdecoruk
I remember meeting an elderly lady with her daughter in a cafe in Budapest several years ago and we somehow got talking about WW2. She told us that as bad as the Germans were, Russians were far worse and committed many atrocities.
@SimonHarrisTD
@AlboMP
Taoiseach, Ireland has to review its position on Israel and urgently reconsider the government’s skewed support for Palestine. Radical Islam isn’t going away, it’s growing and poses a threat to all Europe. Ireland’s security has to be reviewed urgently. 🇮🇱
@MyLovelyHorseR
Great response but would still like to see those responsible for discarding these two adorable dogs onto a road to fend for themselves be held to account. So pleased they’ve found their forever home.

@banbloodsports
who will confirm that in an Irish poll over 70% want to ban hare coursing. It’s not the culture or heritage we want associated with Ireland. So you support cruelty to animals? The 70% say not in our name.
@ImmanuelNiven
Beautifully written Immanuel, I would advise everyone who has an opinion on the Israeli war on terror to read and understand why Israel fights for us all against Islamic terrorism.
@Lyla_lilas
Aleppo was and is the most awful evil against civilians. Can never forget those nightly heartbreaking scenes on our tv screens and the incredible bravery of the people and medical teams under assault. Like Ukraine. Both Assad and Putin have so much blood on their hands.
@WascUrito
@Bambiethug
This is exactly why LGBTQ++ for Palestine is so bizarre. I keep using the analogy of turkeys voting for Christmas. Why is the LGBTQ collective supporting an ideology that considers them evil and will not hesitate to slaughter them? We’re witnessing a mass hysteria.
@YazzieSays
The generosity of the Choctaw to the Irish during the terrible Great Famine c.1845 -1850 touched the hearts of our nation and still does. As a country colonised for hundreds of years, we have much in common. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Native Americans at this time.
@mybrotherjason
The cruelty of putting Jason’s two children through the court ordeal of giving evidence of their father’s murder only for the murderers to walk free a month later is beyond belief. Thoughts and prayers for you all at this most difficult time 🙏🙏.
@maksymeristavi
@mariamposts
My heart and prayers are with you from Ireland. This tiny country fought the might of the British Empire. You will defeat Putin and his evil empire. But you must be given continuing help from EU and USA.

Everyone has to have a degree now. Everyone. In the law of averages, it’s very questionable whether everyone is third level material. I’ve met many truly intelligent people but also meet those who haven’t an ounce of common sense who have degrees.
@JakeWSimons
Really thrilled the four hostages were released, it is such a welcome breakthrough and hoping the remaining hostages will be freed soon 🙏. One concern though and that is in telling the details of the
@IDF
operation, is it compromising and alerting Hamas to future rescues? 🇮🇱
@Sal_Robins
@RedBird725
@NinesCatudio
Exactly. It’s an expectation now that everyone must go to university. That’s why we have a chronic shortage of trades people. We still need mechanics, carpenters, block layers, plasterers, painters etc etc who can earn great money without a degree.
@MyLovelyHorseR
@GardaTraffic
I honestly believe that anyone who can ruthlessly run a horse to death without any care for its welfare is capable of even more serious crimes to fellow man. It’s absolutely despicable and penalties a joke. Strong laws for horrendous cruelty.
@Editorialz
Edward, don’t know when I’ve laughed so much. 🤣🤣🤣 Not at the LLS mind you but at your review! So much so that if the LLS producers had any sense, they’d bring you on at the end of each show for a live review. It would be worth sitting through just for that! 👏👏👏
@yasminalombaert
The West has been very negligent in consigning so much manufacturing to China - from a needle to an anchor! Products are poor quality too. We should never have become so dependent or vulnerable.

President Zelensky will take his place amongst the greatest of world leaders. His humanity, bravery and ability to communicate is inspirational. He leads a nation of outstanding heroes whose love of country is a wake up call to us all to treasure freedom and democracy. Slava 🇺🇦
@maksymeristavi
Such a charming beautiful little girl spending her precious young life in a basement, while at street level, destruction everywhere. Because of Putin’s barbaric war. I pray for Ukrainian victory and this little girl it’s glorious future 🙏🙏🙏. And the cat!
@CherylWroteIt
Cheryl, your analysis of the video evidence is excellent and the time involved in studying the videos is truly well spent. Which begs the question, if you can unravel this evidence why are independent tv channels just rehashing Al Jazeera’s ‘evidence’? It’s shoddy journalism.
@keira_con
Keira, I really don’t think this is the platform. Already the replies are gloating, vindictive and nasty. There are bad apples in every basket but you don’t throw them all out. The last thing Ukrainians need now is such vitriol. Notify relevant Dept but please don’t punish all.
@GarethOCal
Only a thug would harm an innocent pet. My heart breaks for little Finn and you both. Hope he makes quick recovery and whoever did this is caught by Garda. Anyone who does this to a defenceless pet won’t hesitate to harm a person.
@RobLooseCannon
It seems nothing is sacred anymore. This is more than criminal damage, it’s the violation of a sacred place and desecration of the dead. 🥲
@pnolan99
There’s an old saying that you can’t please all of the people all of the time. That’s certainly true in Ireland! I take the advice of Prof Nolan and NPHET not those who are neither qualified in public health or fully understand a pandemic.
@1rorycowan
@RTEOne
Now that the government has been shown to be completely out of step with the electorate, maybe it will reflect on the wasted €millions which would have provided real services for those with disabilities & address the bias against 🇮🇱and the danger that radical Islam poses?

#EdenGolan
is a credit to Israel, has the voice of an angel, the song should have scored higher except for the many panels that were anti-Israeli. My country Ireland gave Israel 0 points whereas the public awarded a 10. Eden’s composure despite the hate is a credit to her and 🇮🇱

@TodaywithClaire
May I remind you that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East? With every right to not alone defend its self but to defeat Hamas which is responsible for the savagery of October 7th and to locate and free the hostages - if still alive.
@afshineemrani
@CherylWroteIt
That must be so difficult Afshine, the level of hatred and abuse becomes overwhelming when any contentious issue is discussed. Just know that there are many of us who support you, support Israel and we stand together. Keep being you! 🙏🇮🇱
@irish_organic
Yes going on late into the night here too. I despair because as someone with a very wild acre, our efforts are but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast agricultural lands that surrounds us. What’s even more disturbing is government’s lack of will to do anything about it.
This time every year our flowers are covered with butterflies. Why no butterflies this summer? As if this isn’t alarming enough, there are very few insects. Is the overuse of insecticides and strimming of wildflowers responsible? There’s something seriously wrong.
@lelemSLP
Eden did Israel proud, a beautiful talented young woman. Disgusting that she has been treated so badly. She has elegance, integrity and a powerful presence on stage. Like Israel, May Eden live long and prosper. 🇮🇱
@miradulescu
Israel has a right to exist, to defend its democracy. Defending that democracy has horrendous consequences. It is as if the Hamas atrocities have been swept away in condemnation but it is Hamas brought this upon its people. This too will pass. Be guided by God re university. 🙏🙏
@1rorycowan
But don’t you realise Rory that the Irish government aspire to being best in class for populism. The recent referendum results prove they’re out of step and living in a bubble. They’ve quickly sided with those who shout loudest as they want their votes. Oct 7th is forgotten. 🇮🇱🇮🇱
@NiamhLQB
Beautifully articulated Niamh, very proud of you. Facing such a crisis will, I feel, being out the best in people, refocus our priorities and realisation that we’re all in this together. Patients are in safe hands xx
@Ben_Scallan
Virtually all political parties have been shown to be highly susceptible to the latest trends and eager to please the loudest voices, even if in the minority. Sinn Féin shown to have sang from the same hymn sheet too.
The Scottish parliament voted to pass the Hunting With Dogs (Scotland) Bill effectively ending hunting with hounds as we know it!
This is a huge win for wildlife!
@MCwconstruction
@ianmcgahon
@MichaelDHiggins
It is relevant because recent poll shows how popular President Higgins is with young people. He is an honorable man who has served our country well and represents Ireland with pride. He will continue to do so for the next 7 years.
RT if you'd like to see more wildflowers like this! These ox-eye daisies are bee superplants. But with 97% of UK wildflower meadows gone – and many public spaces over-mown or dosed with weedkillers – they're now too rare a sight. Want them back?
@susankusel
@FergalLenehan
Pretty sure that wasn’t author’s intention, I took a different view of the book. It’s a story of 2 little boys who became friends, their innocence. Children aren’t judgemental, have no concept of differences in race or religion. Adults teach them otherwise.
@Mick_Finnegan
Don’t regret it Mick, speaking out is the only way you can begin healing. You are a very brave young man. Bottling it up would have destroyed you long term. Your testimony has lifted the lid on a great evil. You’ve saved others from that. Please always talk.
@lelemSLP
Coming to the same conclusion after an encounter today. Got nasty. They use the children to make you feel bad for supporting Israel. Rather than admitting they are pro-Hamas.
@rteliveline
@joeliveline
Having travelled to many European cities, I have never witnessed or experienced the sort of teenage thuggery being discussed. Under no circumstances must this be tolerated in our Irish cities. Immigrants, visitors and tourists need to be protected. Where are the gardaí?
And all the more reason why this beautiful creature should be protected for both animal welfare reasons and Irish heritage. Ban Hare Coursing
@banbloodsports
The Irish Hare is a very special little animal. Reputed to have been in Ireland for over 3 million years, and may actually have survived the last Ice Age here which ended about 14,000 years ago. (Image:

Millstreet town park closed to residents to facilitate the terrorising, injuring and death of timid Irish hares. Everything that is wrong about successive governments’ failure to ban blood sports. Please sign petition.

That is extremely condescending. Nethanayu elected by the people in the only democracy in the Middle East. Like him or hate him. The elephant in the room is Oct 7. 70% Palestinians elected Hamas. 1200 murdered Israelis and 100+ still held hostage. No Oct 7 no war. Free hostages.
@jerosullivanRK
@kerrytodayrk
Spot on. I despair of the expansion in dairy herds. Rural environment destroyed by swathes of grass. Biodiversity thrashed. Grass being forced by horrendous slurry and use of fertilisers to feed hundreds of cattle. Where does it end? At what cost? Milk and meat too cheap.

Farmers have been badly advised and encouraged to lay waste to landscape. This has to change urgently. Should be possible to work with nature not against. Farmers must be paid to rewild.

That is so out of order Karen. I’m not even sure legally you can refuse or cancel a booking because of someone’s ethnicity or religion. Disgraceful that the Hand family were treated like this. I pray that Emily is released very soon. 🙏🙏

Niall, wishing you a peaceful Christmas and thank you for the incredible work you do to rescue these lovely dogs. Our home has been greatly enriched by some gorgeous rescues such as Louis whom we lost this year a month short of his 14th birthday.

@CMacCoille
These statements are absolute proof of the Putin regime sanctioning and ordering war crimes. I’m tired of being a voyeur of pure evil. If Putin’s war is failing and with the clear evidence of genocide, the world’s economic sanctions isn’t enough to save innocent people.
@RealEddieHobbs
@Iora_rua1
Paul Quinn’s death was barbaric, his ‘crime’ standing up to PIRA members. His brutal suffering and death was carried out by the power behind Sinn Féin. Yet many SF supporters are ignorant of this and other atrocities. Know who you support. Can your conscience live with this?
@karenievers
Karen, you are entitled to your opinion and have the courage to use your name while ‘Wolfhound’ hides. Those calling for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador ought to remember the holocaust when 6 million Jews were exterminated. Israel surrounded by enemies. Evil still exists.

@HollyCairnsTD
Noel Browne also responsible for tackling TB that had decimated families for generations. He instigated the convalescent homes for TB patients, recognising that it spread in overcrowded poorly ventilated housing. Patients were wheeled out to verandas to breathe clean air.
@Mick_Finnegan
Started and erased this a couple of times and honestly Mick don’t know what to say. Now everyone knows the extent of SJA’s crimes/failure to protect innocent children. But for your bravery, tenacity and strength of character this evil would still be hidden. You are the light!
@niamh_dr
Beautifully written Niamh and so fittingly expressed. My thoughts are with poor little girl and her family. I’ve given up years ago walking on our country road. It’s more like a racing track.
@NatureNymph
The sounds of my childhood in mid-Cork, all three bird species now gone due to agricultural practices. Such a shame but we live in hope of a return in future more enlightened times! When the value of nature takes precedence for the physical and mental health of us all.
@MaryMcAuliffe4
The State are every bit as culpable as the Church. They abdicated all responsibility to the Church and paid the institutions per capita when less money would have kept the children with their families. Inspections were a farce. It is a State and Church scandal.
@the_beeguy
@npwsBioData
This is disgraceful and happens every year. Birds still nesting, fledglings still being fed. Insect habitats lost. Ireland has to be the worst country in EU for decimating nature.

Well said James, the silent majority came out tonight to support Israel. The keffiyeh brigade are ugly and loud but they underestimate the support for Israel. I’m proud of the Irish people tonight. 🇮🇱🇮🇪
@1rorycowan
Well said Rory. Allowing their feelings to override any critical analysis of the conflict. Yes, terrible to see women & children being killed. But feeling sorry for people should be weighed against the fact Hamas set their own people up for retaliation. Hamas knew!
@HelenORahilly
A wonderful age Helen. Take comfort in the lovely life she’s had with you and you will know when the time is right. Our boy is 19 this year and getting occasional epileptic fits but he’s still pottering along. Dread when the time comes. You will find that strength! 💔

For what? Stop harassing our politicians. In case you’ve forgotten we’re a democracy and Leo Varadkar was elected by the people. End of.
All you female pro-Palestinian supporters marching for the destruction of Israel have you even studied radical Islam? Your ignorance of Islamic extremism is astounding. You’re university students and supposed to be researching and learning. Yet you are now proven idiots. 🇮🇱🇮🇱

This tree has some tales to tell during its lifetime. It took seed during the time of Gaelic chieftains, witnessed Cromwell’s conquest of Ireland. Lived through the 1798 rebellion, the Great Famine, the War of Independence and Civil War and a century of Irish freedom.🤔

Shelters here in Ireland are full of such dogs, it’s so sad. Between indiscriminate breeding and lifestyle changes, dogs are the collateral damage. Please don’t buy pups or dogs, give a rescue a loving home.
