Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 05/12/2025I have watched the documentary. Fair play to you, Dr Pine. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 05/12/2025@spitfirefilly.bsky.social I was delighted to meet you in Dublin last September and it was a lovely surprise to see you on Sky News just now. I wish you a merry Christmas a prosperous new year. 121
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 21/11/2025@shanedarcy.bsky.social UN commissions & rapporteurs on Palestine have anti-Israel bias. Other countries' forces have caused civilian deaths in war but they're not accused of genocide, e.g. Western air strikes aimed at ISIS. So it's the word "genocide" that is being hollowed out. 110

Reposted by Ciarán MastersonNadine Batchelor-Hunt @nadinebh.bsky.social · 02/10/2025If your response to Jewish people being stabbed to death and mowed down by a car in Manchester is “Gaza” you’re a charlatan and an antisemite and you need to get in the fucking bin. I’ve had enough. Jews have had enough. And you’re no ally of the Palestinian people if you behave like this. 11615130
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/08/2025I've just seen it. It's a brilliant documentary. Fair play to you, Dr Barnes. 010
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 09/08/2025@guywalters.bsky.social I've just watched the Manhattan Project documentary on Channel 4. You did quite well. 010
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025We don't know what the motives of the accusers are. More than one incident is referred to. Therefore, the allegations are still not proof. I'm fed up of your disingenuousness and so I'm muting you. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I wasn't being rude - I was stating facts. I mean that the allegations are not proof. In other words, the allegations are insufficient evidence. You know fine well that I answered your question. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025It's evidence but it's still unsubstantiated. Therefore, it's not proof. It's what a prosecutor would describe as "insufficient evidence". 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025A proscribed organisation has no right to exist. Therefore, it's not entitled to the presumption of innocence. Therefore, I did answer your question. Stop being disingenuous! 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025The defending of women's right to have their own changing rooms & sporting events is not hate. A biological male who identifies as a female and runs in a females' race has an unfair advantage over biological females. Just ask Sharron Davies and Riley Gaines. 110
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Hamas didn't just fire missiles on Oct 7th. Hamas wants to do what it did on Oct 7th again and again. Therefore, Hamas must be prevented from ruling Gaza ever again. The Gazan health ministry is run by Hamas and so it's untrustworthy. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I didn't say that. I said that an allegation is not proof. An allegation that is said in testimony is still an allegation. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025A proscribed organisation (e.g. the Provisional IRA) is not entitled to the presumption of innocence. Hamas is proscribed not just in Israel but also in the EU, in the UK and in the US. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Hamas is the Gazan govt & so has a duty of care to Gazan civilians. Hamas hides behind civilians. Therefore, the blame for deaths of civilians rests with Hamas. If Hamas stopped fighting then the war would be over. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025I'm making a contrast, not a comparison, between the IDF and Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organisation that is the unrecognised govt of a territory. The claims that the IDF has committed war crimes are still only allegations. Innocent until proven guilty. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025They haven't yet given evidence in a court of law. Therefore, they're still allegations and so your reference to the criminal burden of proof does not follow. You're clutching at straws. I'm fed up of your repetition of unproven allegations and so I'm muting you. 200
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025The IDF intends to kill terrorists, not civilians. "Does not intend to", "intends not to" - same thing. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025The difference is that the IDF does not intend to kill civilians. 200
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025All the things they say are simply allegations. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 15/07/2025The Dinah report is different because it's about rapes that were committed by terrorists who committed mass murder and kidnapping on Oct 7th. Some of the terrorists livestreamed their own crimes. So it's not like the accusations made against the IDF. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The missile that cause the deaths at the water-collection point was intended to kill an Islamic Jihad terrorist but a technical problem caused it to hit those civilians instead. The claims in your other posts are unsubstantiated. 500
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Testimony consists of allegations. Allegations are not proof. Their allegations are not corroborated. Incidental killing of civilians in a military op is tragic but not criminal, e.g. the RAF bombing of Caen in 1944. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Saying "there's no proof" is not denialism but a reflection of "innocent until proven guilty". 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The "40 beheaded babies" story was a minor error in reporting of the Oct 7th atrocities. Gazan civil defence & health ministry are run by Hamas and are, therefore, untrustworthy sources of information on casualties. There's no evidence that IDF soldiers intended to kill civilians. 200
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Terrorists may have infiltrated the food queues. You've only heard allegations. Nothing has been proven. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025It's incidental as in the killing of civilians in the bombing raid that the RAF aimed at German forces in Caen in 1944. Netanyahu has let aid convoys enter Gaza. Therefore, the Israeli govt does not intend to starve Gazan civilians. He won't force civilians to leave Gaza. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Alex, your claim about Israel is false and, therefore, antisemitic. You're muted! 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025How am I "so far from the truth"? I've been interested in those things since childhood. Now, I'm 40 years old. 100
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025If the IDF op was genocide then Allied bombing of Nazi Germany would've been genocide. The war would end if Hamas stopped fighting. 000
Ciarán Masterson @cpmasterson.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have hidden behind civilians. Hamas started the current war (as opposed to the Isr-Pal conflict in general). If the IDF op was genocide then Allied bombing of Nazi Germany would've been genocide. The war would end if Hamas stopped fighting. 100
