They don't think they deserve Rosie O'Donnell. Maybe send her to Canada. For the love of God, man.

Israel Closes Its Embassy In Ireland

‘Ireland Has Crossed Every Red Line.’
On Sunday, Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s Foreign Minister, announced Israel would close its embassy in Ireland, citing Ireland’s “extreme anti-Israel policies.”
“The actions and antisemitic rhetoric used by Ireland against Israel are rooted in the delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state, along with double standards. Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel,” Sa’ar said. “Israel will invest its resources in advancing bilateral relations with countries worldwide according to priorities that also take into account the attitudes and actions of these states toward Israel.”
Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted:

Despite Harris’ protestations that Ireland’s government is not anti-Israel, the evidence suggests otherwise.
In February 2024, then-Taoiseach Leo Varadkar denounced a possible Israeli operation into the Hamas stronghold in Rafah, saying it would be a “gross violation of international law on top of all the other violations of international law which Israel is responsible for.”
In May 2024, only days after Harris declared, “I abhor the actions of the Netanyahu government regarding what is happening in the Middle East,” Ireland officially recognized a “Palestinian state.” Harris stated, “The government recognizes Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah. We had wanted to recognize Palestine at the end of a peace process. However, we have made this move alongside Spain and Norway to keep the miracle of peace alive.”
On November 7, the Irish parliament passed a non-binding motion attacking Israel, stating, “genocide is being perpetrated before our eyes by Israel in Gaza.”
Last week, Ireland joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Looking into the past, in 1996, Ireland finally permitted an Israeli embassy in its country; it was the last country in the European Union to open an Israeli embassy in its own country.

Irish Women’s Basketball Team Trounced By Israeli Team Following Players’ ‘Overt Anti-Semitism.’
ROFLMOAO !!

Actress Patricia Heaton reacted to the Irish Women’s basketball team being trounced by the Israeli team following the Ireland players’ “overt anti-Semitism” at the game.
In an X post on Thursday, the 65-year-old actress said the “Irish women’s basketball team got a good whoopin’ after displaying overt anti-Semitism toward the Israeli team.”
“They should have been forced to forfeit the game for their behavior, but that beat down was even better,” she added.

It came after the Irish women’s basketball team refused to shake hands before and after the game with the Israeli players on Thursday at the 2025 Women’s European Championship qualifier in Riga, Latvia, where Israel trounced Ireland 87 to 57, the Telegraph noted.
Ireland Basketball previously issued a statement in January about how it might not play against the Israeli team when it said it had “raised strong concerns about these fixtures with Israel, including the option not to play the games” following the response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel that left at least 1,200 Israelis dead.
The game was initially to be played in Israel in November, but was moved to February amid the war in Gaza.
Two days before the match, Ireland’s team issued a statement blasting Israeli basketball player Dor Sa’ar who called the team “quite anti-Semitic.”
“It’s known that they are quite anti-Semitic and it’s no secret, and maybe that’s why a strong game is expected,” Sa’ar said. “We have to show that we’re better than them and win. We talk about it among ourselves. We know they don’t like us and we will leave everything on the field always and in this game.”
Before tip-off on Thursday, Basketball Ireland issued a statement that read, “Basketball Ireland informed Fiba Europe yesterday that as a direct result of recent comments made by Israeli players and coaching staff – including inflammatory and wholly inaccurate accusations of anti-Semitism, published on official Israeli federation channels – that our players will not be partaking in traditional pre-match arrangements with our upcoming opponents,” the outlet noted.
“This includes exchanging of gifts, formal handshakes before or after the game, while our players will line up for the Irish national anthem by our bench, rather than [center] court,” the statement added. “Basketball Ireland fully supports our players in their decision.”
Following Ireland’s team’s actions at the game, the team’s head coach James Weldon said, “I would prefer to be talking about basketball and not this, we didn’t engage in the pre-match activities as a direct result of those unwarranted and unacceptable comments from the Israeli camp about our players.”
“It was hugely disappointing, we came here for a game of basketball, we wanted to win, but didn’t come out on the right side of the result on this occasion,” Weldon added. “We had three international debutants in this game, we’re building a squad, so there’s positives to take from this game.”
After the Israel team’s victory, Israeli head coach Sharon Drucker said, “I’ve been in sports for many years, I’ve never seen such things in my life.”
“There was no game where you don’t give concessions, shake hands, congratulate each other,” Drucker added. “They took a step in an absolute way and they received their punishment today.”

 Meanwhile in Ireland ...

Ireland to Slaughter 200,000 Healthy Cows to Fight ‘Global Warming.’
Ireland’s government is pushing plans to slaughter a staggering 200,000 healthy cows to fight so-called “global warming,” according to reports.
The move is part of a broader plan by Irish lawmakers to meet the radical goals of the globalist green agenda.
To slash the nation’s “emissions,” the government wants to gut the national dairy herd by 10 percent.
The revelation is just the latest in a series of troubling moves from Western nations to green agenda goals dictated by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN).
In The Netherlands, a major European food producer, government officials issued mandatory “buyout” order in November to confiscate farmland, as Slay News reported.
The Dutch government shut down 3,000 productive farms to comply with “global warming” goals.
In December Germany ordered farmers to slash fertilizer after the Dutch farms were shut down to comply with global warming standards.
And this week Irish lawmakers are pushing a plan to kill off 200,000 cows to meet the same global warming goals.
A target of reducing emissions from farming in Ireland by a quarter by 2030 has been set by the government, Farm World reported.
One proposal to achieve this is by reducing the national dairy herd by 10%, the equivalent of removing 65,000 cows a year for three years, according to the Irish Independent.
Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue told Irish radio station RTE Morning Ireland that a dairy vision group with farmer representatives has been looking into a range of options to reduce emissions on farms.
The Department for Agriculture has said a report outlining a 200,000 reduction in dairy cows was a “modeling document,” insisting that the plan has yet to be enforced, according to The Irish Mirror.
But multiple reports confirm that the cows will be “culled,” costing taxpayers €200 million ($215M) per year over the next three years to meet green agenda emissions targets.
The Farming Independent said it got the figures in its report from an internal document through a freedom of information request.
According to the UK Telegraph, Irish farmers are rebelling against the plan.
One Irish politician described the plan as “absolute madness” and there are warnings that some farmers will refuse, and others will leave the sector, if an order is introduced.
Farmers fear it will not be possible to meet the targets with only a voluntary cull.
Tim Cullinan, president of the Irish Farmers’ Association, warned that beef and dairy production would simply shift to other countries if a limit was introduced in Ireland, undermining the attempted emissions savings.
“Reports like this only serve to further fuel the view that the government is working behind the scenes to undermine our dairy and livestock sectors,” he said.
“While there may well be some farmers who wish to exit the sector, we should all be focusing on providing a pathway for the next generation to get into farming.”
Pat McCormack, president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, said it was “frustrating” that the industry was being targeted.
“We’re the one industry with a significant roadmap, and, to be quite honest with you, our herd isn’t any larger than it was 25 to 30 years ago,” he said.
“Can the same be said for the transport industry, can the same be said for the aviation industry?”
If there is to be a cull, he said, “it needs to be a voluntary scheme.
“That’s absolutely critical.”
This news follows calls from Democrat President Joe Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry for farmer to stop producing food.
As Slay News reported, Kerry, Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, issued the warning during a green agenda conference in Washington D.C.
During the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry told the audience that “we can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.”
Kerry warned attendees that his and other world leaders’ “lives depend” on farmers ceasing their operations.
Stopping farmers from growing food will lower agriculture “emissions,” Kerry insists.
He continued by noting that he does not even call it “climate change” anymore.
“It’s not change; it’s a crisis,” he declared.

The bronze statue of Molly Malone on Suffolk Street, Dublin, Ireland remains a popular pilgrimage site for fans of Irish culture and literature.
The statue was commissioned for 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations: simultaneously the then Mayor declared 13 June to be Molly Malone Day.
The first known publication of the ‘Molly Malone Poem’ was in late 19th century Boston, but supposedly it is based on the life of a 17th century fishwife: whether or not there’s any truth to this remains unclear. Versions of the song have been covered by a range of Irish musicians including U2, Sinead O’Connor and the Dubliners.
“So, who is the famous Molly Malone, and why does she have a statue?
Molly is the main character of a song: the first verse goes:
In Dublin’s fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, “Cockles and mussels alive, alive oh!”
The statue of Molly Malone added further credibility to the legend, as well as recognizing its place in cultural and musical lore. Originally the statue was on Grafton Street: dressed in traditional 17th century dress, she’s known colloquially by locals as ‘The Tart with the Cart’ or ‘The Trollop with the Scallops’. The statue’s sexualization has raised eyebrows and criticism since its creation.
She was moved to her current location in 2014: a recent piece of ‘folklore’ often told to tourists is that rubbing her breasts will bring good luck, and the patches of wear are evident.
