And what rough beast, its hour come round at last...

@belfasttelegraph.co.uk Why do we need a terrible AI generated image of Roger Casement languishing in a prison cell in 1916? What is the point of this? There is no shortage of photos of Roger looking exceptional in white linen. He deserves better.

👀 The US used MQ-9 Reaper drones to protect the missing F-15E crew member by "striking Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometres of the Airman."

Israel is now razing entire villages across southern Lebanon.

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

@reversediorama.bsky.social Weathering Storm Dave by getting lost in 'Boyhood'. A beaut of a book. Soundtracked with the sound of people's bins knocking about outside. Should put The Alarm on.

"30.3.2026 Israeli settlers attacked the Al-Rahwa area in the town of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron, setting fire to 2 vehicles and stealing about 25 sheep belonging to Palestinians. They also wrote racist slogans in Hebrew on the walls of houses." www.youtube.com/watch?v=EESf... #Israel #Palestine

“What is remarkable in all this is not just the resilience and steadfastness displayed but also the initiatives that people take to reclaim their agency.“

I’m Ahmad in Gaza. We are facing ongoing violence, severe shortages of food and water, soaring prices, and a suffocating siege. Every day is a fight to survive. 💔🇵🇸 Any donation, no matter how small, helps me provide for my family. Please donate and help save us ⬇️🕊️💸 chuffed.org/project/157281

Israeli forces set a military dog on an unarmed Palestinian man during a mosque raid in Tarqumia, west of Hebron.

❝ A state that exists only thanks to the incessant killing of its enemies not only lives by its sword; It lives on its own ethos of being a state of executioners. ❞ – Rogel Alpher • Translated by Sol Salbe

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Francesca Albanese: "Israel has been emboldened by the impunity that has historically been granted to it, but particularly in the last 2 years.. Israel is accelerating the genocide against the Palestinian people.. the end game is the ethnic cleansing of Palestine"

Mustafa Barghouti: "The passing of this criminal law.. & the way they celebrated the passing of this law.. shows you one thing. Israel has moved so far in the direction of fascism. This is a fascist govt and these are fascist ministers & this is a fascist establishment"

I thought I couldn’t hate a politician more than I hated Thatcher But the last 16 years proved me wrong, repeatedly Currently my negative feelings are directed towards Starmer, Cooper & Lammy for their misuse of the Terrorism act to grossly mistreat these protesters & prop up a genocidal Israel

NEW: Conservative groups have begun using Gemini, ChatGPT, xAI, and other tools to try to get books banned. “When [censors] start using these tools to take the shortcut to get books off shelves, you’re going to end up pulling so many books that tend to be the most targeted anyway."

"The European position is not sufficient. Statements, concerns.. mean nothing to Israel. Unless we see punitive acts, sanctions imposed, Israel will not change.. 11,000 sanctions on Russia in less than 2mths, not a single sanction on Israel even when it committed genocide"

Zionism's inevitable trajectory. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust

Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers weren't landing at Shannon Airport. Martin said there are “no weapons” passing through the airport – but his colleague Darragh O’Brien authorised US troops carrying guns to land there. www.ontheditch.com/ag-insint-br...

While the genocide in Gaza continues, global attention has shifted toward an unlawful war against Iran, diverting focus from ongoing atrocities in the region. Amid this broader climate of conflict, violence in the West Bank is steadily escalating. 1/3

That’s apartheid in its most fatal, brutal form.

Dear BBCNews, why do you keep repeating Israeli propaganda? We all know what Israel is doing. It's trying to do its usual ethnic cleansing and colonisation of land belonging to the neighbouring people. It's not about Hezbollah. Don't pretend you don't know. 🇮🇱 has no right to take southern Lebanon.

I wrote this in an absolute rage, and I'm really beyond grateful that the Irish Times approached me to write it.

“Even if the school was not deliberately targeted as a school, there is still a requirement under international law for an attacker to do what they can to make sure they know what they are attacking,” writes dag

It’s not just Gaza — Israel wants to exterminate all Palestinians, everywhere. We are one people being destroyed as one people.

By Leyla Hamed: "The soldier below, seen throwing grenades and firing in southern Lebanon, is Israeli footballer and Hapoel Hadera captain Menashe Zalka. FIFA is aware of Israeli players’ involvement in war crimes—yet does nothing. Kicking a ball on weekends, committing atrocities on weekdays."

"Iran’s Health Ministry has shared these figures: Killed: 2,076, including 216 children Injured: 26,500, including 1,767 children Damaged health and emergency centres: 336" aje.news/zgevw1?updat...

One of the greatest Irish novels, unpacking the obligations of family & documenting an Ireland of stifling morality, thankfully long gone. McGahern excels at small-town claustrophobia and there is no better chronicler of Leitrim's green lanes. Honoured to write this foreword. @faberbooks.bsky.social

Thank you! Never give up fighting for freedom!

It’s the largest strike in decades. Who wins if meat prices keep rising?

The country is the death drive embodied

The Associated Press yesterday announced from now on it will accurately reflect reality and call Israel's invasion of Lebanon an invasion. Others are stuck on 'incursion,' 'ground campaign, 'offensive.' The shift reveals how media sanitises the crimes of empire open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

My message to anyone who cares about us... My family has little food, our children are crying, and our situation is extremely difficult. We live in tents amidst the rubble. I only ask for food for my family and safety Don't leave us alone. Your support is our lifeline.🥺💔 chuffed.org/project/1635...
