We were promised two hundred rounds of high explosive at two AM this morning but they were not available. This ammunition was again promised for five thirty and again not available. The promise was renewed for eight thirty with like result. The effect of this is to create great lack of confidence on our side amounting to grave suspicion. Essential that action be taken immediately otherwise situation will become impossible."

‘We just want to stop people being murdered’: Kneecap on Palestine, protest and provocation - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jun/27/kneecap-on-palestine-protest-and-their-satirical-intent

“We knew exactly that this was going to happen, maybe not to the extreme [level] that it has, but we knew that the Israeli lobbyists and the American government weren’t going to stand by idly while we spoke to thousands of young Americans who agree with us,” says Ó hAnnaidh. “They don’t want us coming to the American festivals, because they don’t want videos of young Americans chanting ‘free Palestine’ [even though] that is the actual belief in America. They just want to suppress it.”

The support for the message, says Ó Dochartaigh is “all genders, all religions, all colours, all creeds. Everybody knows what’s happening is wrong. You can’t even try to deny it now – Israel’s government is just acting with impunity and getting away with it. Us speaking out is a small detail – it’s the world’s governments that need to do something about it.”

Today I learned the words for 'jellyfish' in Irish and Welsh

🇮🇪 jellyfish = 'smugairle róin’ = seal snot

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 jellyfish ='cont y môr' = sea cunt

You are very welcome! 😉

(American followers having conniptions at the second one )
