I was kind of hoping that Blue Sky would offer an intersting alternative to Twitter and social media that was informative and more than just a place to blow off steam, imagine my surprise.

To your type the very idea that 100,000s of Gazas are not dying now of starvation, or that the population of Gazans is in danger or being wiped out which is what Genocide means, makes them angry you need to believe as many Gazans as possible are dying
What furnished proof? The images of sick children were exposed to all be pre-existing conditions most sent to Pisa, there are images of hamas staging images of people with pots anywhere Also the UN has been saying famine was about to break out since 2023, you NEED there to be a famine
During the Kosovo war I was worried the the Serbian forces were conducting much higher killing that they did, I was disgusted by the 7,000-9,000 killed but I was relieved that more people were not killed, that a genocide was avoided. I just wanted to see the war end, and evil brought to justice
I would have been more than happy for the post Saddam period to have peace, I might have felt a bit stupid for being wrong but that would have passed and I would have been happy that a nightmare was avoided. I took NO joy in being right and I hoped I would be wrong.
For example if someone really cares about Gazans, which really nobody does, these would be saying 'I hope I am wrong about the Genocide' or 'I hope I am wrong about a famine about to break out.' They don't say that, it has to be a Genocide there has to be a famine, they need it to be true
I remember that time, it gave me no pleasure being proven right, I would have been more than happy to have been wrong. I remember year after year my late wife hoping we would be proven wrong that year. You can tell someone who really cares, they want to be proven wrong when they worry
I could take a photo of myself holding a pot and screaming and post it say I am starving but I would not sink THAT low.
So its now a month later, this mass famine was suppose to have started, the IDF is still fighting in Gaza, you guys promised that this time it was really going to happen? So were are the mass starvation photos, not kids holding pots but kids starving?
Yes Anne Frank got to film herself distributing ice create before she was killed as a result of fighting between the Dutch and Germans in WW2
Its odd but pro-pallys don't seem to include Jews living in Israel tortured to death by Hamas or being starved as hostages as anyone, for them Never Again does NOT INCLUDE JEWS. Jews have a right to protect themselves, they do not owe you sense of morality their extermination
and other images, like this one, show stagged feeding events, not that you see no food being distributed at all? Just people yelling for the camera with pots and pans knowing how shallow and stupid the west has become
When did Gazans turn into everyone puppy humans? In a world were the President of the US can say 'lets stop all feeing of all refugees around the world' and just like that 10,000s of people starve to death every month, what is it about Gazans that make their suffering so much more important.?
Unlike the bit American monsters my parents had I could take my stereo and tv with me to college, I could go from place to place with them. They were more innovative, they cost less and they actually lasted longer. There used to be TV repair stores,
So during my teen years my family could only afford on old stero system and one TV, both made in America, beautiful big things made of fax wood that took over the room and cost a small fortune. Then Japan started selling stuff and I, on money I saved up as a teen, had my own TV and stereo
Then in the 1980s you could start to buy things from Japan and Germany that often cost less. I was able to buy my own Panasonic TV for my own room, I was able to buy my own stereo because it was JVC. People who didn't know how to work on their cars could get Toyotas that didn't break down
When the United States made all its own cars and TV and such things productivity increases could translae to Union granted wage hikes. What were consumers going to do. I remember the 70s, TVs were significan investment, a family had maybe 1. That and a phone was the only comms tech in the house.
This graph shows a boom of US industry and union membership coming out of WW2, WW2 massively raised demand for industry in the US and the naional spirit of unity made unions and industry work better. For a while after WW2 US reigned alone over world trade. But you can see when Japan merges
I am sure the people who were eating in Darfur and South Sudan and who are not eating now could careless about the politics of it.
This is not genetics its culture, the Jews have culture of learning, of families sticking together, of total dedication to family and the value of wives and he wives duties towards husbands. Irish sadly have a long history of excuses, of blaming others, of broken families and drinking
2 persecuted people get to come to America. One produces 12 prizes in Ireland and 2 in America, the other persecuted people, who were much more hated and more killed, despite not speaking English when they came to America, the Jews have won 22% of the nobel prizes in the world
The Irish have won 12 nobel prizes, only 2 in siences (1 was Austrian when he won it). Sure we can talk a good talk and tell a good story and have. The Jews have won 216 nobel prizes, despite only being only about 250% the popiulation, even more in Literature.
The Irish and the Jews are both survivors of some of the most terrible crimes of the last 200 years. But the Irish only survived, the crawled into the present with their boy raping priests, their depression and their bottle. The Jews, who got in much worse, on the other hand thrieved.
You might have a misconcpet that American Irish know nothing about Ireland and are offended when Irish tell them they are not Irish, but I am a strange case, and American Irish who knows too much about Ireland and is ashamed of his heritage. Someone who delights in being different than Irish
And lets not forget the one and only defining total 'Irish' institution: THE CHURCH. OH THE CHURCH. I could tell you that priests in my Catholic Church had molested young boys, which is true, but big deal, that is true of EVERY SINGLE IRISH CATHOLIC diocese in the WORLD>
And the schools they sent their kids to acually educated them in useful things. When I was a kid wanting to save up money for University my parents, who save nothing, wanted to spend even more money to send me to a Catholic school so I would stop being an athiest.
Then I meet lots of Jewish families, sure they were not perfect, but the men generally stayed sober, they kept their jobs despite extreme racism and violence, they educted their children, they invested in their children future, only had kids they could take care of, and went to schools.
a long line of men who let their families down, could talk a good talk but failed their families And as I read more and more Irish literature it became clearer. Joyce, Angela's Ashes, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, I could see that the see the stories of my grandmother were a national problem
Growing up in America the entire 'Irish Pride' thing was pushed down my throat, we all wore Green on St Patricks day and other superficial things. But as I grew up I started thinking about the endless stories of the men in my Irish line. More were drunks than not,
Thank you so musch. that is a great honour, after growing up around lazy depressed men who drank too much and let their families down, of hearing stories of wives who just wish their men would stay sober enough to keep and job, my goal has been to be as unirish as I could be.
The Israeli have also invested mass sums, despite their small population, in actually learning the archeological history of Israel, building one of the best, and clearly explanation museums of an anceint culture on earth.
But the great restorer of real identity are Israelis. Reclaiming a land where they had always had a presence but had been kept out of by Empire after Empire despite wanting to settle in Jerusalem. Jews didn't say 'next year in Jerusalem' because they just made it up. They now have Hebrew back
The 'Palestinians' who cannot pronounce the name of their own identity properly and have to claim is was always Falastine (which we have Roman records to disprove) has been able to make a more unique identity out of imagination than Ireland out of thousand of years of history.
IRA-Palesine ties aref funny beause essentially an Arab people living in a region that had always been part of another empire since the start of Islam, who speak Arabic and practice Sunni Islam, were more able to built an identity opposed to the Irish who really do have a unique buried identity
Well firstly the Irish are not a race, their not even a culture. They are essentially British people some in a republic. All effort to establish some kind of unique Celtic identity failed and ultimately became nothing more than membership in the Catholic Church, and how did that work out.
Unlike Australians and Irish who wear their Jew hate as a badge, Jews have learned to be cautious of some ethnic groups more than others not from just culture, they are one of the few people who EVOLUTION has selected caution in. Jews who didn't trust Poles were more likely to survive to 1950
After World War 2 most Polish Jews wanted to stay in Poland. Generally some more than others, with some being hard core Communists. After progroms and the Anti-Zionist purges the Jews who were better off were the ones who most distrusted the promises of Poles.
My in-laws came from a split of family back in the Poland and Austria. Some people had decided that Poles and Austrians would never let Jews live in peace and moved to America, some of their family and friends accused them of being closed minded and prejudiced. Again who survived?
Jews are fairly unique for keeping their prejudces to themselves. But when you get do really know some, and they don't like to talk about it, they have learned the hard way to be cautious of certain people. The only reason any Jews are alive today is because they didn't trust some group.
Well consider when the book is set all the characters would have been British. They just happened to live in Dublin at that time.
The Irish failed against the British to obtain a unified Ireland. The Israeli not only won against the British, but they then defeated all the combine Arab nations 4 times in a row.
If someone wants to restore you old language, decide the fate of your nation and land, and determine the outcome you should learn from the Isreali. Remember the Zionism and Republicans both fought the UK, the Zionism just had more enemeies.
I once saw a lecture about American policy with Israel during the 1967 war. At that time America and Israel were having warming relations after decades of mostly US indifferent. During the Vietnam war Amerians saw what Israel did in 1967 and there was deep resentment and frustation
It shows the deep, deep resentment of Repubicans for Zionist. Both movements had essentially the same aims at the same, Republicans had to face civil war, and getting only some of heir objective letting the British decide Northern Ireland. The Zionis got everything and more.
Though being open for all edits the Wikipedia is only 11 paragraphs with 2 edits made in all of 2025. The South African ICJ case in Wikipedia has 130+ paragraphs with 15 edits in August alone. Sure seems that all Geonocide are not created equal
Did you know 6 years ago Gambia brought a case of Genocide against Myanmar on behalf of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Neither did I, I could only find 1 BBC ariticle over 6 years and a tiny Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingy....
Well I am sure the people in South Sudan and Darfur didn't care if the food they once got to eat was there for bragging or not.
My jewish inlaws told me that all Australians are antisemtitic and I told them that was prejudice. All I can say now is that all Asutralians I have meet have a singular obsession about Israel that gets them to say really pathetic things given their history of ongoing genocide and colonialism.
I love when some kangaroo fucker tells me in that twisted convict English they speak in Australian because is 'cullonialism and genoside mate' that one really makes me laugh. Aussies are in the same club as Irish, the 'they think they are so perfect' a--hole clubs.
The mass of evidence that anyone considers for a few moments is that institutions like the BBC, UN, even CNN and most new services, behave in a way that can only be called bias no matter its motivation. Israel is treated differently than any other nation on earth for some reason. Wonder why?
BBC seems to have covered one story, while the South African case at the ICJ got constantly live coverage? Why? Are there no South Asians living in Europe? In the UK there are 10 times as many Bangladeshis as Palestine 644,881 vs 60,000. So wha accounts for different BBC reporting.
Gambia brings a genocide case and it is obscure news barely covered, no live coverage. My late wife covered that genocide and I have thousands of images and videos including drones from it, she struggled to sell any of it. Nobody cared about that Genocide, I didn't even know about the case
I see why most pro-pallys don't want to talk much, every bit of evidence just digs the existence of widespread antisemtism (half the world jews live in Israel so yes antisemitis) on a global level.
BBC reporting on the South Africa ICJ runs 10 pages long on my last search www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Sou...
BBC you one story on Gambia vs Myanmar from 6 years ago www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Gam...
I just looked up that Gambia does have a case against Burma yes, I had to go to the ICJ web site to find it, never heard anything about it on the news. And my late wife covered the Rohingya. Yet every day of the Israel case was globally broadcast live, everything was front page news
Once again because I am half Irish I get to say what ever I want. This is a totally universal rule known as the negga rule. Mick is my word, and given things I saw growing up I can get more direct than that.
The ICJ has never ruled that a nation has carried out genocide. Also isn't it the strangest thing in the world that you have to go to the ICJ web site to learn that Gambia has brought a case against Burma, or even a genocide might be happening in Burma, while Gaza was constantly in the news
Go tell Israelis who have been murdered by the PLO the difference. Either way a 'classy human' which seems to describe no members of Irish ruling class, would have know when to keep out of something.
I am extremel well informed on the subject and this is one of the few clear explanations I have read on social media anywhere. good job
I rememeber even Bush allow himself to take full blame and what was left of his repuation at that time to get trashed, rather than people seeing a combination of racism and gun ownership had created a 3rd crisis ou of a naural diaster.
When I was at University of Chicago we read The European Witch Craze by Trevor Ropper. It ends with him saying that though hatred would continue, society would never have witch craves against. Then 5 years later West Memphis Akr convicted 3 teens of witchcraft and murder.
Well all we need is a great depression and world war eh?
Jo Cox was killed and shortly after Brexit actually passed, her death not only shamed no youb scum I am pretty sure it encouraged them.
White House be like, "No, it's really Donald Trump! See, he's totally still alive!"
In all forms of democracy people have a duty to vote. Democracy cannot be imposed, Iraq showed that, if the people do not take democracy as a duty it will fail in time

And let me guess, people are going to justify targeting journalists in the US for their reporting because of 'what is happening in Gaza' as if the Gazans are such saintly perfect examples of humans we all have to give up our liberates for them?
This is the world the 'Gaza is a Genocide' are trying to make. If a newspaper does things like admit its images or sources were wrong, or does not criticize Israel enough you attack the editors, edition.cnn.com/2025/08/29/u...
If I had any money at this point in my life I might offer a $100 prize for anyone on line who can make a coherent argument for why Gaza is a genocide, not just copy and paste someone else.
I is really disturbing how, with the lack of any really solid evidence of anything like a Genocide happening, people are so innately antisemitic that they need the term to be true. To say it is essentially to say Jews are just as bad as Nazis. For Europeans this breaks through guilt
The ONLY group to engage in Genocide during this war was Hamas on Oct 7, when they tried to kill or kidnap everyone in the other group but were stopped. The IDF is clearly not trying to kill every single Gazan in Gaza
This is why people have not trouble seeing the Armenian Genocide (unless they are Turks) or the Holocaust. You can clearly see one group goes about trying to kill everyone in the other group
During the Rwanda Genocide the whole world could see it as a Genocide because, to put it crudely: one group was trying to kill everyone in the other group.
Since Oct 7th I have chatted on line with hundreds, maybe over a thousand people who are 100% convince a genocide is happening in Gaza but not one, NOT A SINGLE PERSON, can explain why they think this or justify their thinking. They all revert to 'some expert thinks it too'
TikTok?
So its not the fault of the news media for not reporting it then? In know how much money UNRWA spendings to advertise around the world right?
Joyce was a very clever man, I too was raised in an Irish home, though in Chicago as a small mercy, and I too found salvation in among the Italians.
Joyce was right, on June 16 1904 Joyce gives us two radically different ideologies, the Tory headmaster Unionist and the Celtic Nationalist Citizen in the pub. They agree on nothing at all, but what makes them Irish, the both hate Jews and they speak English.
Wow this is interesting, Irelands tiny nation does not register much in international politics but I just found out that there was a very contested election last year, the government was very unpopular and was facing a difficult election and suddenly they, just like the ANC, rediscovered Jew baiting
Pouty poopy Uncle Cankles. No, I DIIIIIIN'T! Ayup! Remember when he said HRC was dying? Couldn't happen to a nastier oaf! 😜🤭
What is a fake account precisely?
And lets not forget the context of history, Republicans and Zionist emerged at same time, Zionist restored their language, they secure all the land claims, the decided their borders, they welcome a huge influx of diaspora. All things the Republicans failed to do.
You think this would be enough for the fucking Irish to have the same level of class as the Germans and sit this one out, but now that deep, deep Catholic Jew hatred, beaten in by the excuses of drunken father sexually abusive priests, is so core to Irelands pathetic need to establish an identity
I mean jesus christ after the legacy of taking in barely a handful of the thousands of refugees the Nazis were pushing out of Germany and Austria, then to have decades of your second largest parties military wing engaging in cooperation in terror attacks with the IRA. You think...
I found a real gem, it turns out that after Mountbatten's murder the PLO, long a very close group with the IRA, actually found they it embarrassing to be associated with the IRA and distanced themselves. The PLO found the IRA too violent. Ladies and gentlemen, Irelands second largest party
I was just reminding myself that up until 1998 what is now the second largest party in Ireland had active and close ties with the PLO, training and working with a group that targeted Israelis anywhere in the world. Not a good look to then be obsessed with Israel
There is some kind of driving need to connect Israel to Genocide, I have found, and I am sure it will be the same for you, no body who uses this term can justify it in their own words. They just say 'some expert said' The term clearly comes from a need to equate Israel with the Nazis
No such finding has ever been made by the ICJ. And the entire claim of Genocide is utterly problematic, a slur seeking a justification. There is nothing in the Gaza war that goes beyond war, the total population of Gazans, counting those who have left, has actually increased.
I am half Irish so I can say what I want. My grandmother maiden name was Daley so its kind of like all the black kids where I live listening to music that say negga over and over again
If south African and Ireland just wanted to make sure Israel followed its responsibilities under international law they don't need to also make a charge of Genocide, which they very clearly have, the Irish going to the point of asking the court to change the law to fit Genocide explicitly.
The charge that South Africa is bringing against Israel collectively is of Genocide. Play what ever word games you want this is a ANC, a party that has destroyed the economy and society of South Africa, using the ICJ to accuse the only Jewish State in the world of collective genocide
Saying ISREAL is collective guilty of Genocide, and the popular follow that all Zionist (essentially 90% of Jews) are collectively guilty is trying to use the ICJ to make the kind of statements right wing neo-nazis say about Muslims,
It is pure racism. Genocide is a crime people perform, its like murder or rape, it is carried out be a group of people. Since WW2 this charge has been applied against name people, Ireland is trying to make Israel the first nation in history to be collectively guilty of Genocide. Fucking Mics,
In fact the more I think of it the more the ICJ case makes me sick. Ireland is trying to figure out a way to legally pain an entire ethnic group, not just their leaders, but the NATION ITSELF as guilty of Genocide, something no court has ever said, not against Germany, Serbia, Rwanda, Pakistan
I hold an American passport. Given what I have seen America become since Clinton left I can only say this is evolution. America has allowed itself to grow into a cancer, and it just gets worse and worse. CoVid was the start of natural selection culling the deseased.
This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME🤷♀️
If only you had pulled off a mass action of getting the vote out for Harris, a progressive who would have been the first Female and Second African American President. But its so much more fun to not vote and protest later.
The media is not going to show everything. These people had a chance last year to get out and vote. Harris would have been the most progress President in America's history. But the left stayed home, Arab and Hispanics voted for Trump.
The Left's behavior since Oct 7, though I had given up on them some time ago, but still its current conduct basically makes me give up on humanity. I am so glad my late wife and I never had children, the world is beyond evil, social media is antisemitism and conspiracy theories,
I have gotten use to humanity doing evil things to each other. I have also come to terms with the climate is in major crisis and people are in denial. What i cannot get used to is how many people who make their entire identity about 'justice and caring' seem only able to target the Jewish state
