“WestBank: The tightening of security and administrative constraints by the Israeli state is compromising the ability of humanitarian NGOs, including MSF, to meet the growing needs of the population.”

Count how many times the word 'defensive' is used in this article. Seems like they're over doing it a bit... This bit is interesting, Keir Starmer: 'missions in the air being conducted day & night, ever since the US & Israel began their bombing campaign against Iran.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Start as you mean to go on, they say.

Have you called on President Trump and PM Netanyahu to stop their illegal war of aggression against Iran & Lebanon? Have you condemned them? Have you told Iran that they have the right to self-defence? Because it sounds like you are undermining international law by your lack of balance. Disgraceful

Lebanonsraum.

Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure, the country's defence minister has said

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry. But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...

EU-Israel treaty remains standing.

The judge rejects Penn's proposed alternatives—(1) EEOC can reach out to employees through Penn rather than disclose their identities to EEOC and (2) EEOC can set up a hotline—"defeats the point of a commissioner's charge of discrimination." Also employees might not voluntarily come forward. SHEESH

The judge rejects the university's and intervenors' referrences about Nazi Germany as "counterproductive."

Fed. judge holds that Penn must disclose to the Trump administration the contact information of employees in Jewish-related campus orgs. and the Jewish Studies Program and participants in antisemitism listening sessions. Here's the memorandum --> storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"⁠permission was not granted as the U.S. had not sought authorisation and Italy's military leadership was not consulted, as required under treaties governing ​the use ​of U.S. ⁠military installations in the country."

So as of today, the only thing that prevents an ICC investigation into conducts carried out by US nationals in Iran is the fact that the current Iranian representatives know very well they would also be investigated for a number of crimes.

On Saturday (4/4) I’m going to a protest against the war, there will likely be police violence and arrests, but we have to take this risk. History will remember everyone, every single action. On Saturday, I’ll be at Habima, Tel Aviv, Meet me there at 19:30, we are at this together 💗💗✊

Israel rarely apologises.

Interesting to compare this with the Costa read out. President slammed EU silence over US-Israeli crimes as “inconsistent with its human rights claims,” calling on the European countries “to align their policies with international law.” Costa said Europe “does not support the attacks on Iran.”

Anyone else keep getting missed calls from a number that says it's in Cuba? Some kind of scam?

🚨BREAKING: Israeli Blows Up A Building On The Road To Beirut International Airport

With God's help we will prevail, Happy Independence Day to the people of Israel." That's it, that was painful to translate Of course, he said nothing new

Walk With Lelia: Join 91-year-old film-maker Lelia Doolan from 31st March, walking from Shannon to the Dáil (approx. arrival 15 April) on the old Dublin Road, to protest the US Military's use of Shannon Airport - [email protected] www.instagram.com/walkwithleli...

Who remembers what happened to journalist Gabriele Nunziati for asking a polite question of the EU Commission at a press briefing?

Dead letter.

I am tremendously honoured to have been appointed today to the Council of State by President Catherine Connolly. It's great to be joined by such distinguished members, with the academy strongly represented. In Ireland, at least, expertise still matters. jrnl.ie/6999677

'The outgoing head of [UNRWA] said... he wanted an investigation into the killing of over 390 Unrwa staff [by #Israel]... “I believe that we need to have a panel... high-level panel of experts to look into the killing of our staff,” Philippe Lazzarini told...' www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

On the day Lelia Doolan (91) begins her walk from Shannon Airport to Leinster House in Dublin.

Ireland says that it relies on the US military and State Dept. to abide by Irish regulations; so much so that it does not ever police those regulations by for example inspecting US military planes at Shannon Airport. That trust needs revisiting based on this report.

That Ireland (an allegedly neutral country) is still allowing US and Israeli planes full of munitions thru its airspace and troop transports refuel at Shannon while Italy, Spain and France (NATO Members) refuse is certainly something worth thinking about

Every sane person would agree that Israel’s latest vile act is “horrible” AND “despicable” but real question is: what are we going to do about it? Ireland is a major trading partner of this genocidal Apartheid state, are we going to finally break ALL ties? www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...
