I’ve just queued behind this woman at a cash machine. Ended up using the ATM to the left of her. She’s made withdrawals with *six* different cards thus far. Saw three of the transactions and each was for the same amount - £250.00. Am I wrong to think this seems incredibly dodgy? My spidey senses are tingling. She also kept watching me while I was using the ATM (so I stared at her and asked ‘are you okay?’ and she stopped) and has subsequently watched every customer next to her. Very strange and suspicious behaviour.

HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft carrier docked at Airport Road West, Belfast. A normally not too busy Road is like a car park with sight seeing. Harbour police are not letting any cars stop to take pics, so if you want a pic you'll need to park about 2 miles away and walk to it.

I love the Glentoran Gazette. I tend to glance through mine on a match day then read it properly on a Sunday. I left this one in my car and didn't read it until today. Brilliant articles about Billy Whitehurst & Billy Neill. 1923 GSC are the very core essence of Glentoran. 👏👏.

Airport Road West...No waiting bollards for a mile along the road. Apparently the HMS Queen Elizabeth is heading up Belfast Lough today to deal with the situation at Garvaghy Road.

Three years ago today, there was no war raging in Gaza. There was a ceasefire. Then, in the early hours of 7 Oct, Hamas launched a coordinated invasion of Israel. Thousands of armed men crossed the border & they deliberately went looking for civilians. They went into homes & murdered families. They killed children & elderly. They abducted men, women & children & dragged them back into Gaza as hostages where civilians cheered. And they attacked the Nova music festival. Hundreds of young people were dancing in the desert when terrorists descended on them. It is grimly familiar to see Islamist terrorists choosing a place of music, dancing, & freedom as a killing ground. Manchester. The Bataclan. Nova. There are photographs & videos of what happened that day because, extraordinarily, many of the perpetrators filmed it themselves. There is a plethora of evidence of sexual violence. There is the intercepted call in which a Hamas attacker excitedly told his parents that he had killed 10 Jews “with my own hands”. They raped & burned bodies, hunted people through fields & into bomb shelters, & paraded terrified hostages through Gaza. It was an atrocity. And something happened in the West almost immediately afterwards that I still struggle to comprehend. Before Israel had even buried its dead, people thousands of kilometres away began finding reasons why the victims had it coming. Within days, the murderer and the murdered had begun swapping places in the popular imagination. Three years later, antisemitism has returned with a fervour to Western society with a speed and confidence that should terrify us. Ancient conspiracies about Jewish power & blood libels have been repackaged in the vocabulary of “decolonisation”. Jewish people around the world have been expected to account for the actions of a foreign government. People have celebrated or rationalised terrorism as “resistance”. Influencers who could not have found Gaza on a map 4 years ago have turned Palestine into an entire political identity. And an extraordinary amount of propaganda has been swallowed without the slightest curiosity about the people producing it. So, since the word itself is now treated as an obscenity I will admit that I am a Zionist. Zionism, at its most basic, is the belief that the Jewish people have a right to national self-determination in their historic homeland & that Israel has a right to continue to exist as a Jewish state. That does not mean believing the Israeli government is always right. It does not mean supporting every military action, every politician, or every policy. It does not mean believing Palestinian civilians have no rights or that their suffering does not matter. It means I believe Israel should exist. Shouldnt be eradicated. If Israel’s objective were simply to obliterate Gaza without regard for civilian life, it possesses the firepower to inflict destruction on a vastly greater scale. But they don’t. Hamas, meanwhile, has repeatedly made clear that it regards the destruction of Israel (not peaceful coexistence with it). They have turned down peace deals & 2 state solutions. You can grieve for innocent Palestinians. I do. And you can criticise Israel. I do. You can also believe that every innocent life lost in this war is a tragedy. But I will not pretend that Hamas is a liberation movement. I will not romanticise men who deliberately massacred & raped civilians. I will not accept that murdering Jews is morally complicated because the murderers have run a highly successful propaganda campaign. And I will not participate in the extraordinary collective amnesia about how this war began. On 7 Oct 2023, people were dancing. Then Hamas came across the border to kill them. I remember them today.

Yes you absolute wab. Yes.b If you think the state has more of an obligation to foreign citizens then you are a traitor.
Ben Scallan asks Housing Minister James Browne "what's the point" in investing €3bn in social housing when a lot of it will go to non-citizens, asking: "Do you think the Irish State has more of a responsibility to Irish citizens than it does to the rest of the world?"

The younger generation should Immunise your children against socialism. Pay one £10 for cleaning the bathroom or washing the car…then take away £7 and give it to your other kids who didn’t help. Socialism won’t seem so attractive when you show them how it works.

Happy 144th Birthday to the 1st Football “World Champions” That might be stretching it a bit, 😁 but certainly Glentoran are recognised by FIFA as the 1st British or Irish winners of a European Trophy - The Vienna cup in 1914. The club was founded on this day 7th October 1882.

Apparently Black lives don't matter when they're being murdered and enslaved by Muslims. Get it? Got it? Good.
Muslims are committing genocide against Christians in Sudan. No one in the media or UN seems to care. Please share if you do, speak up! Follow @LizaRosen0000 - @YossiBenYakar - @TheIsraeliT and others who expose this! 💔💔💔
