Ireland once again showing they're one of the only humane countries in the EU

    Whilst also having one of the highest GDP per capita rate in the EU and giving zero aid to Ukraine.

    We have aid and we took in a huge amount of them and fast tracked them through our asylum seeking process and provided a very decent living. So decent that the Ukrainian woman who heads up the displaced people's in Ireland group said it was too high.

    Sorry about our GDP, America would never ever do things to better themselves economically and only consider themselves important...like "America First"

    Ireland's a great country. The tax haven status that makes that GDP possible isn't something to be proud of, but I can think of worse countries North America's tax dollars can be going to.

    GDP does not correlate to quality of living. It’s high because you’re a tax haven.

    Nice to see people peacefully standing up for what they believe in. More of us can learn from this.

    So that’s why the seats are empty.

    Am I under the right assumption that allisrael.com is kind of journalistically of good quality?

    I mostly read local news media (EU) and whenever they refer to Hamas, they always refer to them as "terrorist organization Hamas" and always refer to Oct, 7th, even in most recent articles, always putting them in a bad spot, even if they write about israeli strikes on Gaza, etc.

    However, going through some recent articles on allisrael.com they never put Hamas in a bad spot, but keep it neutral.
