What happened to those women protesting outside the Dáil yesterday and also what happened to the people in Newtown Mt Kennedy and elsewhere throughout Ireland is totally wrong and unacceptable in a free civilised country and those within the "resistance" in Ireland who give Israel a free pass or in some instances the thumbs up when the Palestinians have been treated exactly like this and much worse when zionists invaded their villages and farms and when the "settlers" with the backup of the IDF didn't just beat them off the streets they they demolished and stole their homes and kicked them out onto the road. I cannot for the life of me understand why any right thinking person can now still support Israel after now seeing the indignity of Irish woman being strip searched and cavity examined as this practice and much worse including torture and systematic rape of both Palestinian woman and men has in fact been inflicted on these much maligned and mainly peaceful people for over seventy years now. I can only conclude that the people who are now horrified by what happened to Irish people with the brutality of the gardaí and still support Israel in it's suppression and planned annihilation of the Palestinians that undoubtedly the zionist cult's mind virus has infected their thought process.

There's no doubt about it also that the so called left have been infiltrated by idiots and idealogues who play right into the zionist hands and playbook by formulating the kind of protest and dessent that only leads to an increase in the repression of ordinary people when they either speak out or engage in genuine protest. I have always maintained that what is being done to the Palestinians today is the testing ground and the template for the new world order and this unnecessary and evil treatment of Irish women, whether or not you agree with them, done at the behest of foreign theocratic state called Israel provides us with a clear signpost as to which direction Ireland is now heading. Corporate Ireland has now caved in to the Jewish lobby and the zionist project as clearly as Trump's America has. I really thought that we Irish had more gumption and fight in us than to comply with this abject surrender to the forces of control and domination.

I read about the strip searches on MSM, I don’t believe these reports, it’s propaganda, to stop the public attending any public demonstration that’s off (government) message. Who’s going to risk a cavity search? Not many.

You are right not to believe the media, less so not to believe the women involved. We will never know but it is reported as such. If true, the chilling effect comes into play and you are correct to acknowledge that. We have to push back on this line of action from the gaurds in any case to preserve our right to remain uninterfered

It may or may not have been staged but just ask yourself who benefits from this fear mongering and garda brutality and repression. In this instance a foreign cult that's infiltrated and now runs a foreign state called Israel.

No. The Irish globalist government benefits, because the public will be less inclined to go to any demonstration/protest march or any organized event that raises the public consciousness about globalist FFG, I mean, the average person might risk being water cannoned or arrested, but no one in their right mind is going to risk strip searches and “cavity searches”. Literally being physically sodomised by the state; not just figuratively sodomised like we are now

These corporate globalist entities are mosthly owned by Jewish people and they in turn are directed by the zionist cabal.

Many of the Irish protests, I've seen,not all, on video are either staged events or are controlled by misguided” right wing “ conservative elements that only spread hatred against Palestinians and all foreigners. These idiot patriots then perpetually defend foreign Jewish immigration into that theocratic state saying that Israel is in it's sovereign right to allow and support the immigrants who adhere to the cult of zionism into it's country in order to torture,rape and murder the men,women and children who have lived there for centuries and now are forced to leave their homes to emigrate to Europe and Ireland but that seems to be OK withthem. These so called Irish patriots are either hypocritical crackpots or zionist stooges.

Muzlims have a great lifestyle in Israel; the same rights as everyone else, it’s only the muzlims in the West Bank area who suffer, that’s because Hamas is in charge there. Anyway, can you blame Israel for wanting to rid themselves of izlamists? Especially after October 7th 2024. Unfortunately these izlamists are being flooded into Europe, so don’t worry about “Gaza” anymore, in far away Israel, it’s here now, on your doorstep and my doorstep, and hating the Jews won’t help you.

I don't hate the jews or any other races for that matter but if you think that Palestinians have the same civil and human rights as jews in Israel their native land then you are totally brainwashed. You seem to be on board with the attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and you are also indifferent to the mass slaughter of over 50,000 homeless and unprotected people in Gaza. You are obviously the one who has hatred in their heart for all Muslims be they Palestinian or otherwise. You have fallen into the zionist trap of spite and hatred for the stranger as expected so that you can despise and destroy the Muslims like the Jewish settlers in Israel do.

Fairly soon now it will be illegal for me to criticise the genocidal Israeli state as it is now in the USA, Germany, France and some other countries and the likes of me who pointed out your real enemy will be shut down or locked up so keep hating on the Muslims and what's left of the Palestinians but it won't stop them from coming or make them leave then you'll be left with nothing but an abiding hatred for no apparent reason than Israel's right to do whatever it wants and to kill whomeverit pleases . This is exactly why the resistance to the new plantation of Ireland today is stuck in the mire and slowly sinking into oblivion.

There’s no such thing as “Palestinians” there’s Jews and Izlamics and that’s it. I’m not “on bord” with any attacks; not my fight; not yours either, however there’s 2 million izlamics flooding to Europe now from Israel, all of them them and their multiple kids to be fed, housed, educated , on the backs of working Irish and English people. So we are the ones being attacked and the weapon is migration

Hamas was set up by Israel.

And if we scratch under the surface we see that something similar applies to all the extreme Islamic outfits including isis & the mujahadeen - with CIA help.

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/hamas-israels-own-creation/

It's very possible these extreme groups are required to ensure the public's support for the non stop stream of tax money to the US security agencies - plus mossad. Heightens fear U see.

I was looking at a map of Hands Off! demonstrations and it occurred to me if all the people in cities would simultaneous converge peacefully, but prepared, to all the rural areas we could end all this right now.

Remember the Trump Train Caravans of 2016?

That, only in reverse. Bring the city to the country en masse to give my neighbors a lesson in population distribution and density.

Holy christ. I was not aware that these women were subjected to such ritual humiliation. I disagree with just about everything they say about Israel but they have an absolute right to peaceful protest. They were obviously no threat to anyone and could have easily been removed and corralled away from the gates. Instead they appear to have been used as a vehicle to demonstrate state power and repression. How cold any self respecting human being do this to a defenceless woman while knowing that she was no threat. There are some very very peculiar people wearing Guarda uniform these days. This would never have happened five years ago in Ireland. What type of traterous pricks are occupying Leinster house these days

A simple section 8, failure to comply and 6 hours in the cell. What are you hoping to find inside a protestors vaginal canal? Those guards should be tarred and feathered. I’m glad a pro Israel person like yourself can see the wrong here.

I don't don't need you Niamh nor anyone else to tell me who or what I should or shouldn't fight for. The resilient , beautiful, loving and ancient semitic people know worldwide as the Palestinians are more of a homogeneous race of people than the mongrel Irish are,as we are a mixture of Celts ,Iberians,vikings ,Anglo saxons ,Normans and a number of other invaders. The Palestinians are the indigenous people of that land and one of them has more semitic DNA in his little finger than a thousand Askenhnasis like that criminal and psychopathic murderer Netanyahu.

We in Ireland made a wonderful nation by inviting and including the invaders into our rich culture but what the invaders who are mainly European and Russian zionists are doing in Gaza is eliminating not only a vibrant culture but a race of true semitic people who are the real descendants of Jesus Christ and his apostles.

Now why don't go to bloody Israel and lick Netanyahu's Polish boots while I express empathy and show respect to the wonderful Palestinian people who are like the Irish in many ways. Btw grovelling to a psychopathic bully like you are with Israel never ends well for the stupid or weak person!
