Irish lawmaker Thomas Gould broke down in tears in the Dáil as he condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, specifically referencing the Rafah tent strike, in which dozens of children were killed in a designated safe zone.
Speaking the same day Ireland officially recognized Palestine — joining Norway and Spain — Gould said: “I hope Benjamin Netanyahu burns in hell in the same way those children burned.” He questioned Israeli society, asking, “Where is the soul of the Israeli people that allows their government to do this to children?”
He concluded by linking Ireland’s recognition of Palestine to basic human dignity: “The Irish people say we recognize Palestine. We recognize they are human beings just like every one of us. Shame on Israel. Shame on what you’ve done and it will never be forgotten.”
Gould’s emotional speech has drew international attention, highlighting the intensity of feelings surrounding the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Ireland’s political stance.Irish lawmaker Thomas Gould broke down in tears in the Dáil as he condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, specifically referencing the Rafah tent strike, in which dozens of children were killed in a designated safe zone.

Thomas Massie has said he will not stop until Epstein victims have justice.
He says releasing the files is only the first step, not the end goal.
Massie argues real accountability means investigations, charges, and arrests, not just documents.
“Men need to be perp-walked in handcuffs,” he said, calling out a system he believes is failing victims.
Until those responsible are held accountable in court, he says justice hasn’t been served.Thomas Massie has said he will not stop until Epstein victims have justice.

Seven countries have already drawn a line when it comes to money in politics.
Places like France, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Belgium, Israel and Chile don’t allow billionaires to pour unlimited money into campaigns. Most have strict caps on donations, ban corporate funding, and rely more on public money to keep elections fair.
Elections shouldn’t be decided by whoever has the deepest pockets.
In other countries, billionaire-funded campaigns and outside spending groups can still dominate, raising questions about who really has influence.
Seven countries chose to limit it.

Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar, already serving 16 life sentences, killed three convicted sex offenders at an Arizona State Prison in Tucson.
All three victims were convicted pedophiles and sex offenders, including one who had raped and murdered a 15-year-old girl.
Known in prison as "Rooster," Wassenaar strangled his cellmate first, then used a rock stuffed in a laundry bag to attack and kill two more inmates outside the mess hall.
His only regret was not finishing the job. He estimated he could have killed up to 12 had the inmates been locked in the yard together.
He now faces the death penalty on top of his existing 16 life sentences.Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar, already serving 16 life sentences, killed three convicted sex offenders at an Arizona State Prison in Tucson.

Several U.S. states have recently passed or expanded laws that make certain severe child sexual abuse offenses eligible for the death penalty, a significant shift in criminal justice policy.
In Alabama, the legislature passed the Child Predator Death Penalty Act, which allows capital punishment for first‑degree sexual abuse of a child under 12. Supporters say it sends a strong message against abuse, while critics raise legal and ethical concerns about proportionality and Supreme Court precedents.
Similar moves have been seen in Florida, Tennessee, Idaho, and other states, where laws now provide the death penalty as an option in cases of severe child sexual abuse, challenging a 2008 Supreme Court ruling that previously limited capital punishment to crimes involving the victim’s death.
These changes have sparked nationwide debate over justice, deterrence, constitutional limits, and how best to protect children.Several U.S. states have recently passed or expanded laws that make certain severe child sexual abuse offenses eligible for the death penalty, a significant shift in criminal justice policy.
