"Estamos en guerra," says EU foreign minister @JosepBorrellF, supposedly on behalf of all EU member states? Translation: "We are at war."

Who does he think he is? Only Dáil Éireann can agree to bring Ireland *into a war.* The government must clarify.

The EU preaches "multilateralism" but what it means is "like-minded partners" forming a little club, making up their own rules & trying to impose them on the rest of the world. That's not multilateralism; it's its opposite. Corruption of language by power & self-interest. Enough!

POWERFUL 🔥.the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth..#EnoughIsEnough

So this is what @JosepBorrellF calls "Israel has the right to protect its civilian population'!!! Seriously ??Murdering grandmothers & 5 yr old girls... Amazingly no EU calls to sanction Apartheid Israel & send arms to Gaza so people can defend themselves? Sycophantic hypocrites!
RT @Issam_Adwan: #Watch from the direct bombardment on Abu Hasira Street, Gaza.

It's not @Amnesty's job to help win a propaganda war, or to support or advance any country's defence or foreign policy.

It's their job to be independent and to document human rights abuses.

Supposedly, we permit organisations like that in democracies.

RT @AgnesCallamard: Ukrainian and Russian social media mobs and trolls: they are all at it today attacking @amnesty investigations. This is called war propaganda, disinformation…

Massive effort afoot to smear @Amnesty report as 'Russian propaganda.' But the main claims in it were already reported by the @washingtonpost in March. One of Zelensky's advisers responded by telling the Post the laws of war don't apply to Ukraine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/28/ukraine-kyiv-russia-civilians/

.@Amnesty - which strongly opposes Russia's war - does one post on Ukraine and it is buried in vitriol and accusations of being pro-Russia. Western war propaganda now creating a deeply unhealthy political culture where truth is unwelcome and international law is seen as optional.
RT @amnesty: ⚡️ Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas.

Fair play Sabina Higgins, refusing to buckle under the onslaught from the usual warmongers and opportunists for daring to speak for peace. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0802/1313526-sabina-higgins-letter-ukraine/

Wasn't even put off by Biden and the US military warning her not to. A stupid, vain, reckless decision, with potentially dire consequences for everyone alive, taken for the sake of a meaningless publicity stunt. God save us from the monstrous arrogance of Nancy Pelosi.
RT @SpeakerPelosi: Our visit reiterates that America stands with Taiwan: a robust, vibrant democracy and our important partner in the Indo-Pacific.

I spoke to the Indo Daily podcast earlier this week about the Ukraine government's repressive propaganda blacklist against dissenting voices in the West, and the wider issues regarding the war in Ukraine.

Fair play to @iainoverton for this open letter to US ambassador Hartley on the ongoing ordeal of imprisoned journalist Julian #Assange. Something has gone very wrong when war crimes go unpunished, but those who expose them are jailed and forgotten. https://bylinetimes.com/2022/07/26/julian-assanges-extradition-an-open-letter/

RT @TNInstitute: There are no easy solutions to stopping war once it has started. But five months on it is clear that sending high-calibre weaponry worth tens of billions has not stopped the fighting. @DondeNiamh says we need to rethink this militarised response 👇

Where did this story come from? Did IT on its own initiative ask the Russian embassy for comment on Higgins' letter? Why? Did IT contact other embassies? Looks like another attempt to discredit antiwar views. Irish, neutral & proud. What's wrong with that? https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/2022/07/29/russian-ambassador-praises-sabina-higgins-letter-calling-for-negotiated-settlement-in-ukraine/

Excellent & important article from @DondeNiamh at @TNInstitute on the urgency of de-escalating the Ukraine war, & turning back the tide of militarism internationally. Instead of slandering voices for peace, we need everyone working to bring it about, now. https://longreads.tni.org/hold-fire

Powerful work from @derspiegel revealing the #OLAF investigation into #Frontex. Follow thread below to understand complicity of Greek government in deliberate illegality & pushbacks. Are these so-called European Values @MargSchinas? Time for @ComissioEuropea to deal with Greece.

We are living through a period of collective unreason, when if you even mention the extent of NATO and US propaganda in our societies, you get hit with robotic accusations of being a "Russian propagandist." A deeply unhealthy political culture. Where does it lead? Cop on.

Ivana is one of 100s of would-be "independent experts" who gives supposedly impartial evidence to Parliament's committees every year. Her think tank has 100s of ties to US state and corporate power, which I disgracefully mentioned during my intervention.🙃https://www.fdd.org/team/nsn/

The text below, which I quoted, was passed by the European Parliament in March this year in the Kalniete Report on foreign interference. A majority of MEPs voted for this language, not just me. What a disgrace! https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2022-0022_EN.html
