Dr Amy O’Neill – Art Therapist

Dr Amy O’Neill (also known as Aimee O’Neill)

Art Therapist | Dublin, Republic of Ireland

Background information

Dr Amy (Aimee) O’Neill is an Irish art therapist, academic researcher, and child welfare advocate with a PhD from Trinity College Dublin. She was previously a fully registered member of the Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapists (IACAT). However, she appears to have withdrawn from the organisation due to its ongoing refusal to release an official statement addressing the alleged genocide in Gaza; her current clinical status and whether she operates independently of the central regulatory register remain publicly unverified.

Dr O’Neill is also a founding member of Irish Creative Arts Therapists for Palestine.

Further open-source investigation into her online activity indicates that, besides her personal, public individual account on the X platform, Dr O’Neill operates a second, anonymous account under the handle @Worry_Wanda (display name: Saoirse Don Phalaistín). On this account, she has openly expressed support for the banned terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, minimised the culpability of Palestinian terrorists for the October 7 massacre of innocent civilians, and made statements that meet the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

The following are examples of archived records of Dr O’Neill’s public interactions on X and Threads, documenting explicit support for proscribed terrorist entities, atrocity denial, and antisemitic language.

On March 17, 2026, Dr O’Neill posted a quote-repost of a video shared by an account named “Parody Jeff,” which falsely claimed that Israeli soldiers were stealing cash from banks and currency-exchange shops in the “West Bank.” Her added commentary explicitly calls for mass physical destruction and lethal force, while employing classic antisemitic and xenophobic dehumanisation language:

Nuke these parasitic demons off the planets. Z1onists are ghouls.. they offer nothing good to the world. Vile leeches. Eradicate everyone of them....

Antisemitism and Violence

On July 5, 2025, Dr O’Neill responded to a post on Threads, explicitly labeling an entire demographic group as Nazis, invoking graphic wishes of violence, and employing severe dehumanising language:

There is no when.... they are naz1s through and through. F%%k every zion1st on the planet. May each meet a fate worse than death. They deserve no less. They have no humanity. Utter monstrous sub-human ghouls.

On March 28, 2026, Dr O’Neill replied to a post advocating for the permanent destruction of Israel. Her response explicitly endorses the complete dismantling of the nation-state, using automated-moderation evasion tactics, making false Nazi comparisons and antisemitic, dehumanising medical metaphors:

Great take! Its always darkest before the dawn. We are witnessing the dismantling of the n@zi state of israel. The collateral damage is unbearable to witness 💔 but humanity will be saved when we have eradicated that cancer in the middle east...

On April 3, 2026, Dr O’Neill published a post calling for violence against the Israeli military. Her response explicitly defends militant actions and features contemporary digital symbols associated with proscribed groups:

On June 3, 2026, Dr O’Neill replied to a post questioning the refusal to engage with those who support the existence of Israel. Her response explicitly denies the sovereign state’s right to exist, employing comparisons to Nazi Germany and apartheid-era South Africa:

Israel shouldn't exist. Its a supremacist apartheid regime built through settler colonialism, now committing the worst genocide of our lifetime. So no, the terrorist entity has zero right to exist. In the same way nazi Germany and apartheid south Africa had no right to exist.

Support for Terrorism

On June 22, 2024, Dr O’Neill published an image-based meme responding to queries about condemning Hamas. Her response explicitly rejects condemnation, instead using an affectionate photograph to glorify the armed military wing of the proscribed terrorist organisation:

Text: "Do you condemn Ham- / Me: Image Content: A photograph of a young child wearing a green Hamas headband kissing an armed militant in full tactical gear from the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

On March 14, 2026, Dr O’Neill replied to a conversation involving Irish Minister for Justice Helen McEntee and other platform users. Her response explicitly glorifies a banned terrorist group and uses automated-moderation evasion tactics to insult other participants. This post has since been deleted, but there is a digital copy:

Resistance fighters like Hamas are gods ... but scummy n@zis like you are my guilty pleasure

On April 6, 2026, Dr O’Neill posted a direct reply containing explicit declarations of support for banned terrorist organisations. Her response utilises aggressive insults and militant symbols, and it names multiple proscribed entities. This post has since been deleted, but there is a digital copy:

I'm pro resistance til i die you stupid bitch ✊🏼🔻✊🏼 . I dont know why thats hard for you to understand. Long live Hamas. Long live Hezbollah. Keeping sucking the balls off the imperialists.. as if they give a fuck about someone like you...

Atrocity denial

On January 17, 2024, Dr O’Neill replied to a post referencing the 1,200 victims of the October 7 terrorist attacks. Her response explicitly attempts to minimise and erase the culpability of Palestinian terrorist groups by falsely attributing the vast majority of civilian casualties and victims to Israeli defensive actions:

Of which roughly 800 were civilians, and of those civilians MANY if not the major were killed and torched by israeli tanks and israeli apache helicopters, as reported by Isreali eye witnesses including IOF soldiers.

In light of the documented digital evidence demonstrating explicit glorification of proscribed terrorist organizations, systematic incitement to violence, and the repetitive use of severe dehumanizing and antisemitic rhetoric, urgent regulatory and legal intervention is warranted. Due to these explicit extremist positions, formal reports should be submitted to law enforcement authorities for investigation under applicable hate speech, public order, and counter-terrorism legislation. Furthermore, given that Dr O’Neill’s professional capacity as an art therapist involves direct access to highly vulnerable populations, relevant child protection agencies, clinical registers, and institutional employers should be notified immediately to ensure she is permanently restricted from operating in any professional role involving the care, treatment, or safeguarding of children.
