There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says

Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Galway IPSC protest against Atlantic Homecare's support of Israel

Finding refuge in the blind eye

Today, in solidarity with last Saturday's action by the Limerick IPSC, Galway IPSC picketed the Galway branch of Atlantic Homecare's store in Wellpark, same as last Saturday, the bone of contention was AH's persistence in selling Israeli made products mostly in the form of Keter garden sheds, wheelbarrows and storage boxes, a letter of protest was handed to the store's manager, John Clarke, by IPSC chairman, Richard Kimball, requesting AH "to voluntary make an ethical stance against the collective punishment of Palestinians by the Israeli State ... and to reconsider its support for the racist and persistent abuse of basic human rights by Israel"

However, it seems the Dept. of Justice provided wriggle room to Atlantic Homecare and other companies of its ilk in that it advised David Myers of AH that Israeli goods were'nt proscribed and that it could continue as an outlet for the rogue state products, if it wished, this flies in the face of Israel's EU Favoured Nation status as its granting was hinged on Israel's compliance with humanitarian and International law, so the blind eye and despicable buck passing continues ad nauseam which only stimulates Galway IPSC to be outside that store again next Saturday, so, please us there at 12 noon - AH is just off the FFrench Roundabout on the old Dublin road.
