clare daly speaks the truth: about the lies of the (zionist) head of eu commission

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6_MYeas36N/ : “What is taking place in Palestine did not begin in October, but 76 years ago with Israel’s occupation. EU complicity did not begin in October either. Long before then, Ursula von der Leyen supported Israel & peddled its lies. Here’s a video from last year on pro-Israel propaganda from the European Commission”.

[readingsquotes]

"There’s quite a bit of preexisting solidarity between Ireland and Palestine. An early November 2023 poll found that 71% of Irish people saw Israel’s response to October 7 as “disproportionately severe,” a response that a review by a Utah State University student described as an outlier within Europe. While many Irish protesters as well as UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese have criticized the Irish government for not taking a meaningful enough stance, Irish individuals, representatives, artists, and writers have loudly advocated for Palestine.

As Coughlan told Teen Vogue editor in chief Versha Sharma, “There's a huge connection between Ireland and Palestine that maybe a lot of people aren't aware of, and a shared history.” That includes a “shared history” of hunger, as noted by Irish TD (Teachta Dála, or representative) Catherine Connolly last week on Democracy Now! (and echoed by Harris in the statehood recognition announcement).

“Our solidarity is immediately with those who suffer in any way, but particularly from famine,” Connolly told DN!’s Amy Goodman.

In Gaza, the head of the UN World Food Program has declared “famine is already here,” according to the New York Times, which quoted the president and chief executive of Save the Children US, Janti Soeripto, as saying of the conditions in Gaza, “We have never ever seen anything like this anywhere on the planet.” Almost three months ago, Oxfam described the conditions in Gaza as “catastrophic levels of hunger and starvation…the highest ever recorded on the IPC scale, both in terms of the number of people and percentage of the population.” Just under half of Gaza’s population is under 18.

“Our history of being colonized, our history…we know how to speak truth to power,” Connolly told Goodman. “At least I would like to think that we have learned that lesson and we are gradually freeing our own minds from being colonized and realizing that our role in the world is to speak truth to power, to call out injustice when we see it happening.”

Ireland’s 19th-century Irish potato famine was a byproduct of colonialism, which forced Irish peasant farmers to produce potatoes for English and Anglo-Irish landowners, leaving them exposed to crop failure and resulting in mass starvation.

...Conversely, the Irish have been furious with President Joe Biden, who since the war began regularly claims his Irish heritage. Clare Daly, Ireland’s representative to the European parliament, has gone viral repeatedly for condemning the war in Gaza, but as early as January was sending a message to Biden: “Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.”

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace used their five year platforms to speak truth to power, made a difference, and inspired others.

Imagine if AOC and Bernie had had their integrity…

The Republic of Ireland has officially recognised a Palestinian state - a move which the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) has described as "important and historic".

EU Warmongers 'Uncomfortable With Truth' About US & NATO Proxy War in Ukraine

MEP Mick Wallace previously accused the US and NATO of using Ukraine to undermine Russia, while warning that providing arms to Kiev was only going to prolong the conflagration.

"Warmongers" in the European Parliament have been accused of attempts to silence the truth about the "madness" of continuously fanning the flames of the Ukraine conflict by funneling weapons to the Kiev regime.

Michael Wallace, a member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Ireland's South constituency, went on Twitter to denounce the continuing US and NATO proxy war in Ukraine.

"Warmongers in the European Parliament are uncomfortable with the Truth about stupid US, NATO Proxy War - They'd like to silence anyone who has the cheek to expose the madness of pumping endless weapons into Ukraine condemning so many Ukrainians to die...", wrote Wallace.

Wallace, a member of the GUE/NGL Left group [Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left in the European Parliament], has repeatedly weighed in on the ongoing proxy war in Ukraine, and denounced how Washington's European allies willingly toe the line, pumping more and more military supplies to the Kiev authorities.

"Pumping more arms into Ukraine is madness," he claimed.

Western countries have been supplying Ukraine with various types of weapon systems, including air defense missiles, multiple launch rocket systems, tanks, self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft guns since Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. Amid this US-spearheaded resolve to prop up Kiev authorities, MEP Wallace has claimed that Ukraine was being used by the United States and NATO to undermine Russia "Down To The Last Ukrainian”.

Speaking on a local Irish radio station, he said providing arms to Ukraine was only going to prolong the war. They would “Give All The Guns” to prolong the conflagration, he added. Furthermore, there shall be no peace or stability as long as NATO exists, Wallace warned.

“You’d be killed for saying it, but Europe needs a different security structure and Russia is part of Europe,” said the MEP.

Tulsi Gabbard Slams US 'Warmongering Elite' for Waging 'Proxy War' in Ukraine! Not limiting her criticism to the Democratic Party, Tulsi Gabbard also called out the “warmongers from both parties in the Congress” who seem content to send billions of dollars overseas to fuel the conflict. (March 05, 2023)

“Last week, it was another $500 million. Yesterday, it's another $400 million of our taxpayer money — continuing to escalate this war that could at any moment spark a direct conflict between the US and NATO and Russia, the world's most nuclear-armed country,” Gabbard lamented. (March 05, 2023)

Last year, Wallace, with another Irish MEP, Clare Daly, defended his decision not to vote in favour of a European Parliament resolution urging increased military support for Ukraine. "We don't believe that pouring more weapons into Ukraine is a good idea. We think more Ukrainians will die and it's going to have a terrible effect on an awful lot of people," he had stated.

Daly added that she disagreed with a one-sided narrative that excuses the Western role in what is now happening.

Trump Says Ukraine Conflict More Concerning to Europe Than US! Former US President Donald Trump says that the United States is not as interested in the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine as European countries are. (March 05, 2023)

"I had the personality type that kept us out of wars," Trump told the CPAC audience, adding that he rebuilt the US military and stuck with the "peace through strength" policy that allowed the US to avoid wars "in countries that nobody has ever heard of." (March 05, 2023)

"I urge a ceasefire, negotiations and genuine EU efforts to secure a peace. I oppose the policy of collective punishment, sanctions that also hurt European citizens, the flooding of Ukraine with weapons, and other actions that escalate the war and run the risk of igniting a direct conflict between NATO and Russia."

Since Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the so-called collective West started drumming up military support for the Kiev regime, and sending weapons there. Moscow repeatedly warned the US, its NATO allies, other European leaders of the folly of weapons support for Kiev, underscoring that it risked turning the Russia-NATO “proxy conflict” in Ukraine into a global conflagration.

Trump leads aggressive, all-out GOP drive to save Kavanaugh

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans mounted a combative, coordinated drive Monday to salvage Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination as they fought to keep a second woman’s allegation of long-ago sexual misconduct from derailing his confirmation. President Donald Trump leapt to his defense, the Senate’s top Republican accused Democrats of a “smear campaign” and an emotional Kavanaugh declared, “I’m not going anywhere.”

In the run-up to an appearance by Kavanaugh and his main accuser at a dramatic Senate hearing, the Republicans embraced their newly aggressive stance with his nomination dangling precariously. The similar tones and wording they used suggested a concerted effort to undermine the women’s claims, portray an image of unity among GOP senators and press ahead to a confirmation vote.

Trump called the accusations “totally political” and among “the single most unfair, unjust things to happen to a candidate for anything.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., angrily accused Democrats of slinging “all the mud they could manufacture.”

Unintimidated, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, retorted, “If you really believe they are a smear job, why don’t you call for FBI investigation?” Schumer accused the Republicans of “a rush job to avoid the truth.”

Trump has made clear he won’t order an FBI investigation of the allegations. And McConnell said that Thursday’s Judiciary Committee hearing would proceed and that full Senate consideration would follow “in the near future,” though he mentioned no date.

In a letter to the committee, which plans the climactic hearing featuring Kavanaugh and his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, the nominee accused his opponents of launching “smears, pure and simple.”

In an unusual strategy for a Supreme Court nominee, Kavanaugh, 53, now a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, also sat for an interview along with his wife late Monday on the conservative-friendly Fox News Channel.

Careful not to assail Ford but firm in his denial, he said, “I am not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone at some place, but what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone.”

“I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process and we’re looking for a fair process where I can be heard and defend my integrity, my lifelong record,” he said in an excerpt released by Fox before the telecast. “My lifelong record of promoting dignity and equality for women starting with the women who knew me when I was 14 years old. I’m not going anywhere.”

On Sunday, The New Yorker magazine reported that Deborah Ramirez described a 1980s, alcohol-heavy Yale dormitory party at which she said Kavanaugh exposed himself, placed his penis in her face and caused her to touch it without her consent.

Despite the forceful rhetoric by Kavanaugh and his GOP supporters, it remained unclear how three moderate Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Arizona’s Jeff Flake and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski — would react to the latest accusation. With the GOP’s Senate control hanging on a razor-thin 51-49 margin, defections by any two Republican senators would seal his fate if all Democrats vote “no.”

Proceeding with Kavanaugh seems to give Republicans their best shot at filling the Supreme Court vacancy — and giving the court an increasingly conservative tilt — before November’s elections, when GOP Senate control is in play.

Even if Republicans lose their Senate majority, they could still have time to confirm a nominee in a post-election lame duck session, but the GOP has not indicated that is under consideration. Delaying Kavanaugh’s confirmation could give time for doubts about him to take root or for any fresh accusations to emerge.

Pushing forward with Kavanaugh has risks of its own, besides an embarrassing defeat for Trump and the GOP. His nomination and the claims of sexual misconduct dating from his teenage years have stirred up women and liberal voters whose antipathy to Republicans has already been heightened by Trump’s policies and his own fraught history of alleged sexual transgressions.

Dozens of people protesting Kavanaugh were arrested Monday outside Collins’ Capitol Hill office. Many wore black “Be A Hero” shirts and chanted slogans including, “We will not be silenced.”

Protests on Capitol Hill were buttressed by walkouts away from Washington in support of Ford and Ramirez that were staged by dozens of liberal groups. The campaign was promoted on Twitter under the hashtag #BelieveSurvivors, and several Democrats in Congress — including members of the Senate Judiciary Committee vetting Kavanaugh — posted photos in support.

A week ago, Ford told the Washington Post that at a high school house party in the early 1980s, a drunk Kavanaugh forced her into a bedroom where he pinned her on a bed, tried removing her clothes and muffled her mouth to prevent screams before she escaped.

With increasing intensity, Republicans have attacked the credibility of both women’s accounts. They note that neither the accusers nor news organizations have found people willing to provide corroboration, even though Ford and Ramirez have both named people who they said were present at the alleged incidents.

Ramirez, who told The New Yorker that she had been drinking at the time, was initially reluctant to speak publicly “partly because her memories contained gaps,” the magazine said. After “six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney,” she felt confident enough to go public, the report said.

The Associated Press tried reaching Ramirez at her home in Boulder, Colorado. A sign posted on her front door indicated she would have no comment.

White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway held a conference call with supporters Monday morning during which, according to a participant who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the private call, she said there was a “vast left-wing conspiracy” to prevent Kavanaugh from winning confirmation.

Also jumping into the fray was the attorney who represents porn actress Stormy Daniels in her legal fight with Trump. Lawyer Michael Avenatti said he was representing a woman with information about high school-era parties attended by Kavanaugh and urged the Senate to investigate.

Avenatti, who has said he’s considering a 2020 Democratic presidential bid, told the AP that he will disclose his client’s identity in the coming days and that she is prepared to testify before the committee, as well as provide names of corroborating witnesses.
