What other topics did they ignore? They are mainly a political publication targeting the things that are normally hidden from the greater public in Ireland due to the way that the media is owned and distributed in Ireland. They don’t really print any fluff articles about any politicians because that is done enough in the other publications. They are specifically targeting the news that is purposely being suffocated or silenced in Ireland. He also used to work for the Irish Independent.

The Ditch is probably left/centre-left leaning and the government definitely are (no matter what they claim) - so if it finds criticism in them that we are not otherwise hearing, I am all for it.

All governments should be held to accountabilty imo.

Their factual articles way outweigh any issues that you may have with whoever it is you don’t know may or may not have donated to it.

Initially when they published a story it was a case that the other publications would challenge it. They have found it more effective if they ignore it, as that was causing them to create something similar to the streisand effect. All of those other publications are biased leaning and can still challenge any articles published in it. They don’t, because not only do they not want to bring attention to them, they also know that the ditch is almost always meticulous in their investigating and are factually accurate.

I am not sure if you have any skin in this game, but it certainly seems like it when you are trying to taint credibility about a journalist who did not write the article. The article you can bet is factually correct, your attempts at diluting it’s importance are just that.

Business does not equal rich. They could be struggling and that may be the final straw for them. The only people really benefiting from that are the insurance companies. Might be worth seeing where they have ties to.

It probably wouldn’t be that hard to find out which businesses support Israel and its Zionism. Then, while most wouldn’t condone it, it would be more palatable. In these videos it just seems like a breakaway group smashing up random businesses that people may be already struggling to try and keep afloat. In many cases it may mean that their insurance premiums will go up, so the only people really benefiting from it are the insurance companies. May be worth looking up if any of those have links to Israel.

I was referring to the trashing of local businesses and buildings. Unless they are zionist Israel enablers, I don’t know what smashing another country up is supposed to achieve. The mass protest on it’s own would get the same message across.

The publication is (mostly) well known in Ireland.

As an investigative publication they break many stories that otherwise would have been ignored, as most of the media in Ireland is run or owned by people affiliated with one or the other of the two dominating parties (Fianna Fail and Fine Gael).

The main funder of this website has had his own disputes and grievances with politicians in the past, but does not have any influence over what is published on that. The short of it is, that all of their stories are by investigative journalists, and can be backed up with facts. They haven’t (to my knowledge) had any of their stories found to be untrue if that is where you are going with that post.

Well done Italy, although I don’t agree with the trashing of things and vandalism. I don’t even know what that’s supposed to achieve. The only thing I can think of is that it will make the German, British and American governments claim that they’re right for clamping down on the protests for Palestine.

But with the noise that is being made worldwide, and the headaches that other governments are having to deal with, coupled with Netanyahu’s killing of journalists to stop the news getting out and so he can feed his propaganda having the opposite effect, hopefully things will begin to happen and Israel will start to feel some serious pressure. Fuck Trump, fuck Netanyahu.

FREE PALESTINE!

That’s the exception, not the rule.

No, it’s pointing out the deflection, and prioritising tens of thousands of deaths (thousands of children) over it.

There are two things happening.

One is genocide

One is growing blame for the Jewish people.

Both are incorrect.

The first thing to concentrate on stopping is the genocide.

Not too much though, you’ll get arrested. Definitely can’t protest against the genocide.

Nobody said otherwise.

But mentioning that every time someone mentions the genocide is just deflection, and not the priority.

Outside of the UK, USA and Germany, you can criticise Israel for their genocidal tendencies.

This is way worse than people think.

Imagine in 10 years time (for example) spying on us has become the norm.

You’re wearing a smart watch, have medical complaints and the doctor suggests you walk 5 miles a day, or change your diet, or whatever.

Unbeknownst to you, that information has been sold to insurance companies or anyone else and they have included it as a clause in your contract. You didn’t walk 5 miles one day, or didn’t change your diet sufficiently. Your claim is now void.

Or if you are a diabetic and ate a doughnut (for example) and had a small blood sugar spike. It just so happens that the same day you are involved in a car crash. You will likely be accused of causing it, may lose your licence, never mind not being able to make a claim.

Can we stop calling him Trump, and just refer to him as Epstein’s friend.

Because criticism of Israel is way worse than killing thousands of innocent people and slow torturing the rest.

The advertising is just a happy side effect that makes more money. The EU elected are trying to get there before them with chat control. If chat control passes, everyone will have access.

This person earning money by using the buy European platform is akin to Greenwashing, as mentioned for buy European. As for purity-testing, how many “influencers” is too many for something like this? What are they influencing mostly, the usage of YouTube to make money or the fact that they don’t use the alternatives that they are supposedly promoting? I’ve not checked, but does this influencer have any accounts on the European alternatives? Social media or video hosting sites? If not, then this is self promotion more than promoting the movement, or whatever you choose to call it.

Why doesn’t she start the video pointing to the alternative video sites that the video is also posted on, and save some viewers from the privacy issues that come with the big tech sites?

I’ve no problem with letting people watch what they like, but as she’s obviously getting paid by YouTube as an influencer, I’m pretty sure this is just the ‘buy European’ version of Greenwashing.

I don’t disagree, but literally looking for followers on one of the biggest platforms owned by one of the ‘bigtech’ biggest tech, as an “influencer” kinda defeats the whole purpose. Also, she’s not ‘starting a movement’.

Relying on people to go to YouTube to watch the video that more than likely just points at things already written and linked to on the sites that have already gained a massive following without YouTube is not unnecessary, but it is unneeded.

Using Google’s YouTube to do it. Requires their viewers all to watch YouTube… 🤕🙄
