This is why I hate the word "#terrorism". It creates Mexican standoff scenarios like this. A terrorist is someone who causes terror. But that is so vague. The #irish have done that, the #english have done that, the #US has done that. Hell. I'm a #gay man and my people are terrorized by #christians. But we don't call them terrorists. It's so vague anyone can scream it because it has no meaning anymore. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3ve317g5do #words #news #Palestine
#iamblakeley tearing into #SharonOsbourne for whining about #irish rap trio #kneecap criticising the #zionistentity at #coachella : https://youtube.com/watch?v=2uCoWoS3zX0
I’m embarrassed to say I’ve not heard of Kneecap before the #zionist #streisandeffect brought them to my attention. Thanks to the entity losing the #propagandawar and lashing out like a deranged animal they’re binging quality tunes to more people. Good on ya!
Give them a listen!

This is what happens when you don't have #FreedomOfSpeech or #FreedomOfAssembly!
#Germany arrests an #Irish woman for speaking #Irish at a #ProPalestinian rally outside the #IrishEmbassy in #Berlin.
In a cruel and twisted turn of events, Germany -- a Country that has intimate knowledge of #genocide -- has made it #illegal to be actually be against #genocide.
In Germany, it's illegal to be against #WarCrimes.
In Germany, it's illegal to be against #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
Frankly, at this point Germany is no different than Israel and should be shunned and boycotted just like Israel.
FUCK GERMANY.

[08:00] Why Germany robustly polices pro-Palestinian protests
Last month Berlin authorities issued deportation orders to two Irish citizens for taking part in pro-Palestinian protests. Germany's long-standing support for Israel goes some way to explaining the country's robust policing of rallies since the start of the current Israel-Hamas war.

#FolkloreThursday: `There are many stories of the #Irish Wolfhound in #mythology. The most famous hounds are, without doubt, #Fionn’s two favourites, Bran and Sceolán. They were said to have been so tall, that their heads reached chest height to a man. Bran was described as ‘ferocious, white-breasted, sleek-haunched, with fiery deep black eyes that swim in sockets of blood’. Sceolán was slightly smaller, ‘small-headed, with the eyes of a dragon, claws of a wolf, vigour of a lion, and the venom of a serpent’. They feature as prominently in the exploits of the Fianna as do the warriors themselves.` #Celtic #NationalPetsMonth

#etymology musing. Was thinking about radius, radiation, and wondering whether Rad (wheel) in German is related, and it seems probably not, but roth in #Irish seems to be related to Rad! And Lasta (cargo) in Irish may be from Old English word of Germanic origin (related to "laden"), which means (I think) the Irish for cargo bike "rothar lasta" is fairly closely cognate with the German Lastenrad
(Not sure "rothar lasta" is standard, but it is in the gaeilge option here:
