A month later it was boarded by German police and found to be missing its anchor and most of its anchor cable."

@Kristian_Kiehling Is this Irish neutrality?
@txtx The Irish are not neutral. They support Iranian proxies and their President calls Israel a terror state.

New Irish president Catherine Connolly draws backlash over past anti-Israel remarks

Ireland’s new president Catherine Connolly faces criticism for past remarks labeling Israel a “terrorist state” and defending Hamas as part of Palestinian society.

The Jerusalem Post
@Kristian_Kiehling @txtx objectively, targeting civilians and civil infrastructure makes the US and Israel both terrorist states.

@theothersimo @txtx

Both Iran and its proxies have systematically used civilian infrastructure for military purposes, which constitutes a war crime. If enemy combatants use civilian infrastructure for military purposes, its status can change, making it a legitimate military target.

@Kristian_Kiehling @txtx no more so than the US or Israel does. And bombing hospitals is still a war crime even if there had been militants inside, let alone wild rumors that turned out to be false.
