Israel has killed at least 259 journalists since 2023. "We denounce strongly what has now become a standard, dangerous practice of Israel to target and kill journalists and then claim, without providing any credible evidence, that they were involved with armed groups."

I spoke with Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia for @politico.com. His message: Latin America is not a “land to be conquered”. Plus his views on the climate crisis, a capitalist "culture of extinction" and Rubio's notion of Western, Christian civilization. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The U.S. was responsible for a strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is "still catastrophic" and has seen only a "marginal" improvement since the ceasefire, with worse to come due to the Middle East war, senior WHO officials told reporters today.

Israel’s war against Iran could “advance the genocide” in Gaza, the head of mission in Gaza for @doctorswithoutborders.org told me today. “The world has turned its eyes away to focus on this other conflict,” Helen Ottens-Patterson. www.politico.eu/article/us-i...

I’m not normally that person but…. It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

When the world’s largest tobacco company needed help lifting international restrictions on its products, it enlisted an unlikely ally: the European Union, a leader in tobacco control. Read our investigation with @theexamination.org.

Watching Ireland play international football has taken years off my life.

President Catherine Connolly has called for action on war, genocide and climate change, saying the normalisation of war “has never been and will never be acceptable” to Ireland, a nation with a long tradition of neutrality and peacekeeping. #VMNews

Imagine being that tenant, having tried every single avenue of contact over 16 years only to be ignored time and time again, and then be told the issue was buried somewhere in the recesses of his mind.

It looks like Colston was among those abducted by Israel yesterday. Ordinary people are capable of such bravery. I don’t know what to say

Breaking Terror charges against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh THROWN OUT

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza. His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

He didn't just call for the exclusion of Israel, but those that arm Israel too. "We must look at their exclusion from the United Nations itself, and we should have no hesitation any longer in relation to ending trade with people who are inflicting this at our fellow human beings."

Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations independent commission concluded in a report published today.

The NUJ has renewed calls for global action to end the Israeli government’s war on journalism and truth after at least 20 people, including five journalists, were killed in strikes on Nasser hospital on Monday. www.nuj.org.uk/resource/pal...

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com. At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.

Israel has banned humanitarian groups from delivering aid to Gaza unless they hand over details of their Palestinian staff. NGOs say they have no guarantees of their employees' safety if they do.

Brussels civil servants are locked in an escalating standoff with the European Commission over their right to protest the EU’s stance on Israel.

“How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?” asks ⁦‪Prem Thakker,‬⁩ in the wake of Israel’s killing of ⁦‪Anas al Sharif. ‬⁩

Rare W for Dublin.

Mailing list sign ups are not members. But this level of interest suggests a new left party can't simply be dismissed, like some people are doing/hoping.

“Tweets don’t feed people. Statements don’t open aid crossings." As Palestinians starve to death under Israel's blockade, humanitarian leaders told me the EU's pleas for aid count for little without sanctions.

Israel is starving Palestinians to death, health workers in Gaza told me. "This is not hunger, this is not malnutrition. This is forced starvation, this is torture." www.politico.eu/article/war-...

UK opinion on Gaza war (YouGov, July 2025) 18% support Israel’s actions in Gaza, 55% oppose 81% of those who oppose say it’s a genocide Large margins in favour of: - trade embargoes (48% to 20%) - financial sanctions on individuals (52% to 19%) - suspending arms exports to Israel (57% to 18%)

TBH this could be a problem for them

Great work by @healthpolicywatch.bsky.social

Any use of the word "populist" in a present-day context, by any media outlet or any journalist, is a colossal red flag. If I were to write a module on media literacy, I'd dedicate an entire lecture to this one word.

"Mass peaceful protest, even with majority support among the wider population, has yielded no results. In the face of state support for genocide, what are conscientious people supposed to do?"

Manufacturing consent is one thing but giving a byline to the guy wanted by the ICC for war crimes is a bit much, even for @thetimes.com.

I do not recall the public being asked whether they want to go to war to protect a government that is committing genocide against its subject population
