Finland the favourite to win it out you can't beat a bit of a fiddle.

Think he has a point on this one tbh, but I'm much more interested to know why Linehan's very much pro-Israel and frequently getting involved in rows. I know he's entitled to his opinions, I had been assuming there was Jewish heritage with him and/or the ex-wife, but no.

He's not even close to having s point on this ffs

bennydorano

He wrote it, he's entitled to make his point ffs. And it most definitely is 'an act of pointed gleeful counter-programming'. It wasn't really the point I was making or interested in tho.

I actually can see his underlying point here. FT is effectively being weaponised. As always, it's how me makes it.

The fella is pro Israel because his online enemies are supportive of Palestine. Nothing more to it.

His point is that showing it is anti-semetic. If you think he has a point in that, you could get a job for yourself in some Israeli Government propaganda department.

Its the same lazy bullshit equating being anti Israel with being anti semetic. The Zionists are saying that Jews opposing the Israeli genocide aren't real Jews.

how is it 'most definitely an act of pointed gleeful counter programming'?


no one said he isn't entitled to his make his point.. however mornic and wrong it is to conflate banning Isreal with being an anti semitic act.

Again. In typical Glinner fashion he actually has a point but decided to make it in a bombastic and gratuitously offensive way.

He has chosen to make himself irrelevant

Linehan went over to the dark side and is being paid to be an influencer for Israel. In 2018 he was pro Gaza. Paul Mason is the same. Usrd to be a good journalist then went over to.the dark side.

I thought it was an apt choice by RTE to be honest on a few different levels, one being the writers current stance on genocide.

If "Glinners" is so upset he'll give his royalties to a charity of his choosing.

His point is RTE are using a Fr Ted episode to make a political point that he disagrees with without his sign off.

That wasn't difficult
