Lack of sanctions enable resilience of ‘Israel’ genocide economy

The FT has authored a concerning article indicating that the apartheid settler-colony, known as ‘Israel’, has suffered limited economic damage despite three years of genocidal crimes in West Asia. However, supporters of Palestine shouldn’t despair. The piece indicates that, in the event of meaningful sanctions by the likes of the EU, and a continued exodus of high skilled professionals, the ‘Israel’s’ finances could begin to really suffer. In the meantime, columnists Mehul Srivastava and James Shotter describe how “restaurants are full” in the settler-colony. This is a grotesque scenario in the Zone of Interest beside the starvation of the Gaza extermination…

20,000 gather in Belfast to denounce violent racist pogroms

A massive crowd of around 20,000 people turned out in Belfast on Saturday June 13 to show support for people driven from their homes by racist mobs earlier in the week. The rally, entitled Together Against Hate, was organised by United Against Racism (UAR). Speaking on Instagram, the group said: This was the biggest anti-racist mobilisation Belfast has ever seen. It reflects the revulsion felt at the 3rd consecutive year of racist pogroms. Speakers from the trade union movement, community groups, anti-racist organisers and political parties addressed the crowd. The riots that took place this week were encouraged by those at…

Belfast pogroms show loyalism is ideal vanguard of a future brownshirt Britain

By now, there has been extensive coverage of the fact that the Belfast pogroms took place almost entirely in loyalist areas. This should surprise no one. Loyalism has always been an exclusivist ideology, predicated on the notion that one population deserves to dominate another that is dismissed as less deserving. Historically of course, this viewpoint dictated that Protestants must be allowed to lord it over Catholics. However, violent sectarianism has largely faded in the north of Ireland, following 1998’s Good Friday Agreement. Instead, loyalism has now applied to immigrants, people of colour and Muslims the bigoted mindset it incubated over centuries.…

Sporting boycott votes fail as Irish government backs ‘Israel’

The Irish government has again come to so-called ‘Israel’s’ aid by voting down two Dáil motions, to combat the genocidaires’ continued participation in international sport. The Social Democrats introduced a motion entitled Exclusion of Israel from Sporting Fixtures, calling for: …Israel to be excluded from all international sporting competitions, as long as the genocide and illegal occupation continues; They were joined by Sinn Féin, who focused on Ireland’s upcoming Nations League fixture against the land thieves, scheduled for October. The Stop the Game Campaign and FAI Participation in Matches against Israel have called on the government to “uphold its obligations under…

Shameful DUP still defends decision to stand with pro-genocide protestors

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politicians have maintained they were correct to stand alongside masked men who hurled racist and sectarian abuse at a peaceful pro-Palestine march. MP for Upper Bann, Carla Lockhart, incongruously claimed that she showed “real leadership” by joining a 300-strong pro-genocide mob, which jeered relentlessly metres away from the roughly 1,500-strong Palestine-backing contingent. The latter were taking part in the Great March for Gaza, an event raising money for Palestinians still being murdered by Israeli Occupation Forces. Part of the march on 6 June passed along a towpath beside the largely unionist town of Scarva, prompting hostility from…

Footage shows PSNI cop brutally punching defenceless man

A video filmed in Armagh shows a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer repeatedly punching a grounded man who poses no meaningful threat. At least three cops restrain the man, with the most violent officer completely on top of him. Appallingly, the PSNI has attempted to defend the attack, claiming “it was necessary for officers to use a degree of force in order to safely make [the arrest]”. A PSNI spokesperson gave background to the cop’s attack: At around 10.30pm on Saturday night, 6 June, police received reports a man had been attacked at a bar on Railway Street in…

Series of hate displays in north of Ireland tacitly condoned by DUP

In recent weeks, far-right actors in loyalist areas of the north of Ireland have unleashed a spate of racist and Islamophobic murals, banners and graffiti. The response of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), who have a heavy presence in these areas, has been to remain mute or even challenge police when they remove such displays. The banners have at times been comical in their ineptitude, like the incoherent AI-generated mural put up by Concerned Parents Newtownabbey (CPN), previously covered by the Canary. There is a serious side too, however, in the hostile sentiment such displays show towards Muslims. The Police Service…

Belfast human rights activist could be deported due to Home Office incompetence

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. In Belfast, Home Office incompetence is threatening Nina Briggs, head of the Migrant Workers’ Union Northern Ireland, with deportation. They insist that Briggs’ active appeal against the unfair Home Office decision does not exist. That is despite an immigration tribunal confirming the department submitted documents in her case in December 2025. Briggs has spent the last 14 years living in Britain or the North of Ireland. Born in the US, she came to Britain to study at St Andrews University in Scotland back in 2012, at age 16. She subsequently entered…

Epic pro-Palestine march will take place despite blocking attempts

A mammoth 25-mile Palestine march is set to take place on Saturday June 6, despite disgraceful attempts by pro-genocide loyalists to stop it. The March for Gaza in the north of Ireland will run from Lurgan to Omeath, just over the border, covering a distance mirroring the length of Gaza itself. Zionist terrorists have dropped the equivalent of more than six atomic bombs on the tiny area since beginning their holocaust in October 2023. Organisers, the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign Lurgan (IPSC Lurgan) say the march will: …raise money for medical supplies, temporary shelters and much needed food and water for…

Stormont Justice Bill permits the state to keep your data for a lifetime

The Justice Bill currently passing through the Northern Ireland Assembly will allow the police to retain a person’s biometric data for a massive 75 years. This is despite the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) previously ruling that indefinite holding of such information is a violation of privacy. 75 years may not be indefinite, but it’s essentially a lifetime, meaning the difference is largely moot. More worryingly, the bill allows the state to keep information such as fingerprints and DNA for most of a century in cases of “terrorism-related” offences. This could include cases of inviting “support for a proscribed organisation”.…

Ireland’s explosive data centre growth triggers shocking rise in electricity bills

A new report has revealed the whopping tax levied on households in Ireland due to runaway data centre expansion — a massive €715 million extra on electricity bills from 2015-2023. Not only that, the document published by Friends of the Earth Ireland (FOTEI) projects that between 2025-2034, bill payers are: …set to face an additional €1.43 billion in electricity bills linked to data centre growth. It also highlights how those least able to pay are hit, stating that: …the poorest households in Ireland paid an extra €209 on electricity bills between 2021 and 2023 due to data centre growth. The cost…

Ireland fans protest ‘unconscionable’ Israel fixture during Qatar match

Irish football supporters in Dublin interrupted the national team’s match against Qatar by throwing Palestine-themed tennis balls on the pitch. The fans were protesting at the Football Association of Ireland’s (FAI) disgraceful refusal to call off the team’s October Nations League fixture against the abomination that is so-called ‘Israel’. Supporters threw the balls on two occasions during the first half, resulting in the referee pausing the match. The protesters had decorated the balls with the Palestine flag and wrote: “Stop the game”. In an Instagram post, League of Ireland Fans for Palestine explained the intention was to: …send a strong message…

A bill that would outlaw the cruel practice of hunting wild mammals with dogs has now reached the committee stage at Stormont. Moreover, the Hunting with Dogs Bill sets out to: …prohibit hunting wild mammals with dogs; to prohibit trail hunting; to prohibit terrier work; and to set out exemptions from these prohibitions.

British spooks helped shut down investigations of Troubles-era atrocities

The director of national security for Britain, alongside others with links to MI5 and GCHQ, were part of a “secret policymaking group” that helped create the notorious Legacy Act. The 2023 Act was a concoction by the Tory government designed to shut down investigations into Troubles-era crimes, including those carried out by the British state. The revelations are reported by the Detail and stem from work by Daniel Holder of the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ). Holder spent: …eight months seeking the release of documents relating to the Senior Legacy Investigations Working Group, which met in mid-2020. The documents Holder…

Basque police brutally beat Palestine activists after they return from Israeli prison

It might have looked like a scene from a prison in so-called ‘Israel’, but the appalling scenes actually unfolded at Bilbao airport. It wasn’t Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) beating peaceful Basque activists, but rather their own police force, the Ertzaintza, who smashed them with batons as they lay helpless on the ground. More shockingly still, the activists had only just returned from captivity in ‘Israeli’ dungeons. They were participants in the heroic Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which sought to bring aid to Palestinians starved by Zionists’ grotesque restriction of aid to Gaza. As GSF explain: When a family member, waiting anxiously…

North of Ireland authorities increasingly assisting the far-right

In recent weeks, there has been increasing evidence of authorities in the north of Ireland aligning themselves with dangerous far-right thugs. On May 1, the racists and Islamophobes of Our Northern Ireland Voice (ONIV) shared a video showing a group of men assaulting a person they described as a “Pakistani male”. Later identified as Mohammed Manai, the thugs allege he was attempting to enter a primary school, though no evidence has been produced for his alleged crime. However, thanks to ONIV, video evidence does exist of thugs attacking Manai with punches and knees to the body as they pin him to…

Ireland’s communications minister hid attempts to pressure media regulator

As part of dodgy attempts to affect media coverage he was unhappy with, Fine Gael minister for communications Patrick O’Donovan held a call with Ireland’s media regulator “outside normal communication channels“. He then failed to disclose that the conversation took place. The Ditch reports that on Saturday April 11 O’Donovan spoke to Coimisiún na Meán’s (The Media Commission or CnaM) Rónán Ó Domhnaill to: …express concern regarding media coverage of the fuel protests and to ask whether there was a mechanism for the minister within the legislation to ask for an examination of the broadcast coverage of the protests.
