John Meehan writing in the Tomás Ó Flatharta blog flags up the double standards on the Left. 

Hypocrisy is shared by many political actors on the left and the right. 

We witness genocide against the Palestine people and genocide against the Ukrainian people. It is the job of the left to practice critical solidarity in each case. 

Ukraine’s political leader (Zelenskyy) is not left-wing. Palestine’s political leadership in Gaza is anti-left (Hamas). Resistance has to be enabled. Many on the left have a blind spot on this issue. 

In the case of Ukraine we must prevent the creation of a Palestine/Gaza in Europe by backing armed resistance against Putin’s genocidal invasion.

We present a meme and a counter-meme.

Spot the Inconsistency Number 2.


Holly Cairns TD (Social Democrats Leader, Cork South-West) spoke in the Dáil (the Irish parliament) on this issue on October 12 2023. She got it right.


War crimes are not defined by the identity of the perpetrator - they are defined by the act. The mass murder of Israeli civilians by Hamas is a war crime. The slaughter of Palestinians - and cutting off food, water and energy to 2 million people in Gaza - is a war crime.
