Irish animal rights group slams minister for enabling cruel hare coursing

Ireland — The Irish Council Against Blood Sports (ICABS) has denounced heritage minister James Browne for “shamefully [granting] 2026-27 licences for cruel hare coursing“. The activist group explain that the licences will mean that: Thousands of hares will be cruelly netted from their habitats, manhandled, transported in crates to coursing enclosures, held in captivity for weeks or months and forced to run for their lives. All the hares will suffer fear and stress and some of those hit and mauled into the ground will sustain broken bones and die from their injuries. During a coursing event, a terrified wild hare captured…

Evil Israeli land thief uses iron bar to attack Palestinian amputee

Evil Israeli land thief uses iron bar to attack Palestinian amputee

Israeli settler violence — The most striking thing about the cruelty of so-called ‘Israel’ is perhaps the cowardice with which it is exercised. The Gaza holocaust is one giant act of spinelessness, bombarding from afar a captive population for over 1000 days like fish being shot in a barrel. Now a Zionist thug has exemplified that tendency once more, by attacking a Palestinian amputee of advanced years from behind as he hobbles away on crutches. Middle East Eye have the video, and diplomatically refer to the gutless terrorist as a “settler”. It’s a strange term to use. Tea leaves ‘settle’ at the…

6 months on, Irish renters crushed by effects of government housing bill

Community Action Tenants Union (CATU), a group organising Irish renters to fight for their rights, has laid out the disastrous effects of an Irish government housing bill, six months on from the president signing it into law. At the time the Residential Tenancies Bill (RTB) passed, we quoted People Before Profit’s Paul Murphy saying: This is a bill for rip-off rents. That’s the purpose of it. It’s not an accidental outcome of it, that’s the purpose. The government strategy explicitly is to get rents to rise higher in order to attract more investment. That appears to have proven correct, with large…

Vile animal abuser is the true face of the far-right and bloodsports

The far-right like to pass themselves off as noble people, waging heroic battles on behalf of “women and children” or against what they describe as the “evil” of Islam. Yet hideous animal torturer and racist Neil Pinkerton is just another example revealing the true face of this hateful movement. Wildlife protection group Protect the Wild described Pinkerton as: …notorious in Northern Ireland for his depraved animal cruelty. They say he was: …disgracefully allowed to keep a dog named Judy after using her for fox baiting, and subjecting the dog to the most horrific injuries. The group rightly decry the courts’ leniency on…

Israeli film crew attacked in Belfast, but they shouldn’t even be there

Israeli film crew attacked in Belfast, but they shouldn’t even be there

So-called ‘Israel’s’ i24 News, which spread genocide-boosting fictions about beheaded babies post-7 October 2023, has released footage of a man attacking their ‘journalists’ in Belfast. Since then, dishonest media and politicians have sought to falsely conflate the anti-Zionist attack with antisemitism, offering zero evidence for the presence of the latter. Yet this should have all been avoided by the British government imposing proper sanctions on the settler-colony, including barring entry for all ‘Israeli’ media outlets. The attack occurred earlier in August, when an ‘Israeli’ cameraman and reporter were preying on people in Belfast’s cathedral quarter, an area packed with pubs and music…

Cruel Irish government’s 63% refusal on Palestinian short-stay visas

Cruel Irish government’s 63% refusal on Palestinian short-stay visas

Micheál Martin’s obnoxious Irish government has combined two of its cruel fixations – anti-immigration and pro-Zionism – to deliver a shocking refusal rate for Palestinians seeking visa entry to Ireland. Figures released in July, which cover the period for 2026 up to May 31, show that only 81 applications for short-term stay were granted, while 139 were refused. That means the government refused 63% of applications from people suffering under apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Note again that these are just for the short stay ‘C’ visa, which only permits stay in Ireland for 90 days, to engage in tourism…

Israeli war criminal Ben-Gvir celebrates arrest of Palestinian bride and groom

In another sign that there are no bounds to ‘Israeli’ efforts to seek novel forms of cruelty, the apartheid entity’s security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has gloated over the arrest of a bride and groom on their wedding day. In heartbreaking footage posted by the war criminal, the couple trudge in suit and wedding dress through the gates of a police station on what should have been the happiest day of their lives. However, as victims in an apartheid society, Palestinians don’t get to enjoy these moments in the way people in a free society might. The Zionist thug masquerading as a…

NATO commander confirms crucial role of Ireland in murderous US war machine

NATO military chief, general Alexus Grynkewich, has spoken of how Ireland’s Shannon airport is crucial in allowing the US military to “project power” globally. In other words, Ireland is a critical cog in a war machine that has delivered genocidal violence this century, particularly to the people of West Asia. Grynkewich is also commander of US European Command. He was speaking to RTÉ, telling them Shannon functions as a “very important logistics hub”. He continued: It allows America to project power and keep threats at bay from all over the world. I think there are some significant security implications to losing…

Zero evidence New IRA intend to target migrants, countering online claims

In recent days, the right-wing press have been circulating a story claiming that “the New Irish Republican Army” (New IRA) intend to launch a “campaign of violence” against migrants. As some of you may have seen on social media, the Canary even let this story through our editorial process, with a video from journalist Ani.Says being published. There’s one small problem – zero actual evidence has been provided to support this suggestion. The New IRA? The rumour appears to have first emerged on August 3, when conspiracist influencer ‘Andrew Jaoc’ posted a video claiming that: The old school [of the IRA]…

Fresh call for Europe to back climate action rather than war

Fresh call for Europe to back climate action rather than war

A new report by Allianz SE says that the pressing issue of climate breakdown could be set to cost Europe €800 billion by 2030 — nearly the same as a pot of money for defence. Allianz is a criminal company investing massively in the genocide economy of so-called ‘Israel’. However, the insurer’s climate analysis has been backed by experts such as Patrick Bresnihan, associate professor at the geography department of Ireland’s Maynooth University. Writing for the Irish Times, Bresnihan called for: …nothing less than the wholesale remaking of our infrastructure, built environments and economic systems. Climate breakdown set to cost Europe €800…

Palestinian expert: Netanyahu’s Gaza plan rejection is ‘election stunt’

The brilliant Palestinian political analyst Muhammad Shehada has dismissed Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of Donald Trump’s ‘peace plan‘ as merely an “election stunt”. The plan calls for the continuation of Hamas disarmament, which the resistance group has agreed to do. Yet the land theft project that goes under the name ‘Israel’ has rejected this. Shehada says that Netanyahu: …saying no to disarming Hamas [reveals] that genociding Gaza was never about disarming Hamas. This has always been obvious to anyone listening to the land thieves who act out the role of politicians in the ‘Israeli’ Knesset. They have openly spoken of their desire…

‘Reporter’ celebrates mass surveillance, showing exactly why we shouldn’t have billionaires

Fanatically pro-‘Israel’ rag The Free Press has embarrassed itself again, this time by singing the praises of a US mass surveillance camera system. In a recent report, stenographer-playing-the-role-of-journalist Maya Sulkin sings the praises of the Flock technology. The system is a network of over 100,000 licence plate reading cameras across the US that send the data they collect back to authorities, who can then precisely track the movement of millions of Americans. What The Free Press didn’t disclose is that they and Flock share a mutual investor — Andreessen Horowitz, a company founded by billionaires Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. This was pointed…

Calls to permanently pedestrianise central Belfast following festival success

Campaigners have called on north of Ireland infrastructure minister Liz Kimmins to ensure Belfast stays a walkable city. The demand comes after pedestrianisation of the city centre has proved a huge success during a major festival. The north’s largest city is currently hosting the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann for the first time. The event is the world’s largest celebration of Irish music and culture. It is likely that over one million people will visit Belfast throughout the Fleadh, and they have been able to enjoy the festival’s cultural hub unimpeded thanks to the removal of traffic. As part of a petition…

Campaigners end carrier’s barbaric live cattle export from Ireland to France

A year-long campaign by animal rights groups has resulted in Brittany Ferries ceasing their cruel live export of animals from Ireland to France. The vile practice involves subjecting animals to lengthy journeys in dire conditions. Animals endure a terrifying experience in noisy, cramped, overheated environments, often without food or water, only to be murdered when they reach their destination. Campaign group Four Paws pointed out that: Among those transported were calves just a few weeks old, separated from their mothers and subjected to exhausting journeys across land and sea. Many travelled for more than 18 hours without food, before continuing by…

Racists winning as opposition to migrants surges in north of Ireland

Far-right fictions on immigration appear to still be having a corrosive effect on attitudes towards those fleeing persecution, as a new north of Ireland survey shows a collapse in support for migrants. Stormont’s Executive Office looked at results for the year 2025, and found that now only 49% of people think the region should obey international law and let asylum seekers stay in the Six Counties. Stormont is still subject to British law on immigration matters, which is in turn bound by Britain’s signing of the 1951 Refugee Convention. The agreement requires all signatories to ensure those fleeing persecution have the…

Media pans Ireland’s Israel-free jet, but boycotts require sacrifice

The Irish government has chosen not to purchase an ‘Israeli’ Elbit Systems navigation component for its new jet, leading various media outlets to speculate the plane may now struggle to land in foggy conditions. It is not actually clear there is in fact any loss of function on the plane. Even if there was, however, the main points here should be that Micheál Martin’s government have for once done the right thing in relation to the genocidal settler-colony, and that sometimes boycotting requires sacrifice. For its part, the Irish Department of Defence has responded to media claims that the jet is…

Gaza holocaust continues during another weekend of Zionist atrocities

So-called ‘Israel’ continued to livestream the extermination of an entire people over the weekend, with a massive string of atrocities across Gaza. On Saturday 1 August, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted warehouses used for storing medicines at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. According to Drop Site News, the buildings contained “critical supplies and equipment for kidney dialysis”. Referencing Zionist policies that severely restrict aid to Gaza, hospital director, Raed Hussein, said “supplies have never been fully provided” over the past three years of genocide. He said any that do get in arrive “in a limited and reduced manner”. Now,…

Horror of cattle shot in public view, but humane slaughter is a myth

There has been public outrage over a horrific incident in which authorities gunned down 51 cattle in County Tyrone, in the north of Ireland, doing so in a publicly visible area. Complaints from politicians have centred on why the brutal measures had to be carried out in an area viewable by locals. However, the obvious question this begs is the following: why would mass murder suddenly become justifiable if it is hidden out of sight? The details of the incident are unquestionably distressing. According to Sinn Féin councillor, Eugene McConnell, the killing took almost 12 hours to complete. He told the…

Palestinian crushes inept Tommy Robinson in Oxford Union debate

Six weeks after it took place, the Oxford Union has released footage of its debate on Islam, and it’s yet another spectacular humiliation and defeat for bigot, criminal and scam artist Tommy Robinson. A diverse team, which included the incongruous pairing of Palestinian Oxford Union president Arwa Elrayess, and former Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, easily put down the Islamophobes by a margin of 57 to 41. Robinson’s team included fellow hatemongers and professional trolls, Lawrence Fox and Jonathan Sacerdoti. The debate, titled This house believes that the West is right to be suspicious of Islam, was met with large protests back…

Allianz Ireland exec makes feeble attempt to defend funding genocide

It is a question any parent with a conscience has no doubt asked themselves at this point: what will I tell my child when they one day ask what I did during the Gaza holocaust? If he has any offspring, Allianz Ireland’s chief customer officer, Geoff Sparling, now has an answer he can give them: “I wrote a column in a national newspaper defending my company’s ongoing funding of the ‘Israeli’ war machine.” Researchers have identified the Allianz crime family as the biggest foreign financier of the Zionist entity. Pro-Palestine campaigners in Ireland have placed particular focus on the company due…
