“Labeling the nearly 250,000 people currently trapped in #Gaza City & the north as “terrorists or terror supporters” by the Government of #Israel is a statement suggesting planned large-scale massacres” — UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

Heartbreaking

Amid everything else, I just found out that Westlife is marking their 25th anniversary & the Irish postal service is releasing a commemorative stamp. So it's also time to reshare this article & my campaign for them to tour Africa: www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

It's always the ones you most expect

86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one. It then committed genocide in full view of the world. Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.

Powerful article by Sally Hayden on apartheid Israel's unprecedented murder of Palestinian journalists, and the complicity of their western peers. #GazaGenocide Israel’s targeting of journalists is an attack on truth and history www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Dublin 💚🇵🇸

Palestinian self-determination is an inalienable right, not a bargaining chip. While children starve to death, Keir Starmer refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador, impose full trade sanctions, enforce a full arms embargo or end surveillance flights. It’s Labour’s genocide too.
