  1. And this would be right if Hamas wasn’t massacring civilians and taking hostages.

  2. “Beautiful”, is how they describe the murder of civilians. And while the amount of people who vote for these nutters is small, don’t forget that SF have said they’d go into coalition with them.

  3. It’s hard to square, on one hand, their moral angst and hand-wringing over the war in Ukraine (especially western support for Ukraine) and then this gung-ho, Rambo-esque carry-on.

    It’s inconsistent at the very least

  4. The shadow of a gunman persona is out in force today

  5. Well, I do rate that PBP actually have a spine and take a unified stance on politics.

    SF, FF & FG just tend to look at whatever way the wind is blowing and go from there.

  6. PBP sure love supporting the slaughtering of innocent civilians

  7. Poor Trots, they’ll only be finishing up the Cost of Living march when they’ll have to go back out again to protest for Palestine. Did Hamas not get the memo that the COL protest was on today ffs

  8. PBP are anti-war. Until they’re not. This is their [motion on the invasion of Ukraine](https://www.pbp.ie/policies/policy-agm-2022-resolution-on-ukraine/) for comparison.

    They unequivocal in their support of Palestinian attacks no matter what yet consistent whataboutery on Ukraine. Does not paint a pretty picture.

    Edit: The more I contrast the words “beautiful” and “inspiring” against the horrific crimes against humanity being perpetrated by Hamas I think Sinn Féin/Soc Dems/Labour should make this a redline issue. If there is no sanction from a party rep for that language then PBP aren’t fit for government.

  9. The far left really struggle with nuance don’t they.

    You can say Israel mistreats Palestinians without lending support to a bunch of far right, Islamist anti semitic psychopaths.

    Just like you can support Ukraine without supporting the far right Nazi elements in their military.

  10. They’re arseholes and leeches.

    Wouldn’t give them the time of day.

  11. God they are a pack of idiots if they think this is the stance to take. The footage is beyond vile, the absolute worst of humanity on show. I’ve been a critic of Israel in the past but there is no way any rational human could condone these actions.

  12. These are the same tankie scumbags actively supporting terrorists and dictators as long as they’re anti-NATO/US/EU. Stand with Palestine but Ukraine can go fuck itself because being smug about our fake neutrality is more important.

    And people wonder why politicians like Boyd Barrett and Corbyn never win. As fucked as neoliberalism is never forget why their parties are in power- it’s a choice between them and these guys.
