where the Israel lobby in the US holds a lot of power.
The conservative Irish-Am community is only too happy to recite the history of anti-Irish discrimination in the US, but they are thick when it comes to noticing the similarity to what other immigrants face now (and which side they're on).
So it's nice to hear Mamdani make these connections explicit, on a platform. #USpol #StPatricks #NYC
Mayor Zohran Mamdani Hosts Breakfast to Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day
Nice to hear Mary Robinson get her props.
Tricky diplomacy for all. Sadly, a lot of Irish surnames are among those doing evil things in the US right now. The Irish-Am community isn't all retrograde, but those who are wealthy & invested in white supremacy are.
Additionally, it can be difficult (sadly) talking baldly about genocide in Gaza in areas

SO. We have had:
Friday the Thirteenth: Jason, Knives
Pi Day (3/14): Pie, Knives (not so sharp)
Ides of March: Caesar, Knives
A day of recuperation or pre-drinking
St. Patrick's Day (3/17): BOOZE
It's been a WEEK.
Punch a bully (as any Irishperson would), have a glass of your favourite and toast Peace, and then, having had horror, feasting, emperorcide, a brief rest, and a day where the craic is hopefully grand, you have my permission to TAKE THE NEXT TWO DAYS OFF and recover yourself.
Sláinte!
