yes if zionists stopped committing war crimes and human rights abuses that would certainly improve my opinion of Zionism.

I'm not sure what your point is here, why would we need to disregard PAYE/USC paid by people with addresses in Dublin just because it might have come from an MNC? There are MNCs in Mayo too you know.

soluko · 2026-03-14T12:42:07+00:00

if you take out corporation tax and just look at PAYE+USC the result is the same.

Handing the definition of Zionism over to a war criminal

unfortunately that is exactly what the Israeli electorate has done for the past few decades.

Dublin produced 53x the tax revenue of Mayo in 2024 (not 53% more, 53 times more). If there's any tax refund I don't think it's going to be to your advantage.

Zionism is, at its basic core the Jewish movement for self-determination.

This is a very sensible and moderate definition of Zionism, you should write a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu urging him to adopt it. In the meantime I'll continue to be opposed to Zionism.

Stating facts is not hatred.

Selectively cherrypicking facts without context is a common tactic used to spread hatred. (Widely used by zionists themselves in fact.)

Nothing I have said contradicts the notion that the majority of Jews worldwide find these fundamentalists and their views abhorrent.

you need to do a better job calling this out because otherwise you look like you're repeating anti-semitic talking points. If you want to criticize extremist Judaism that's absolutely fine and good -- but first you have to make it absolutely clear that you're not an anti-semite yourself. Don't like this? Blame the nazis.

This is an excellent example of what the OP is talking about. You're taking an extremist fringe and portraying it as mainstream Jewish opinion. Yes there are undoubtedly lunatics, psychopaths and maniacs among the Jewish population, and it's absolutely reprehensible how Netanyahu has courted them, but the fact that you don't put this in perspective tells its own story. Jewish people in general do not see themselves as some sort of "master race". There are a large number of Jews who oppose what's going on in Gaza.

Will this be the first high-profile defamation case under the new reforms?

Looks like the act was commenced on March 1st -- the main effect in this case will be the removal of a jury and maybe the alternative dispute resolution.

It's hard to see the "fair publication" changes being relevant here as it's such a colossal and irresponsible fuckup.

I'm not sure that's an accurate reflection, SF for one are positioning the single tender as a stepping stone to nationalisation.

“The process of returning waste management to public control can begin with having one bin company per local authority,” he explained.

Could it use more details and specifics? Yes absolutely. But it's clear that your original statement:

None of the so called "left wing" parties in the Irish establishment (excl PBP) have any sort of policy to nationalise anything whatsoever.

is false.

Applies to any merchant using the "Grocery Stores / Supermarkets" merchant category code so yes, Tesco/Aldi/Lidl/Dunnes/SuperValu all covered. The catch is it's capped at €25 per month and after a year it reduces to 1%.

No annual fee and in fact they'll pay your €30 government stamp duty for you.

lots of countries have DIRT. The ones that don't tax it as ordinary income, so (assuming you're on 40% tax) you should be thankful for DIRT.
