ATEE 2025 ready to kick off here in Marino Institute of Education

"The world is now sickened and absolutely disgusted with the level of bombing and starvation that is ongoing in Gaza." Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that "the weaponisation of aid is a war crime" and that allowing only five aid trucks into Gaza "is a sick joke."

#Gaza: The U.S.-Israel plan to control the distribution of supplies under the guise of humanitarian assistance raises grave ethical, security and legal concerns. Doctors Without Borders call on Israeli authorities to uphold International Humanitarian Law. Share if you do too.

Israel has said it rejects the European Union’s decision to review its trade and cooperation agreement, as its siege of the Gaza Strip in Palestine continues. http://jrnl.ie/6710278

#Gaza: At least 33 people were killed and dozens injured, according to the Ministry of Health, after airstrikes hit Gaza City today, just metres from an MSF clinic. Our teams stabilised 28 patients, who were transferred to Al-Shifa hospital. Two MSF staff members were injured.

For 80 years from 1871 to 1951, St. Joseph's Industrial School in Artane, Dublin, had at least 222 deaths of boys aged 7-16 years. Those names have not been made public up to this point. That changes now. You can view the names that Project Infant found here: projectinfant.ie/the-homes/ar...

“No government – regardless of which party is in power – should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber (Harvard President) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Water is also being used as a weapon of war. In early March, a week after stopping any food…from getting into Gaza, Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. The situation now could not be more desperate. ‘Gaza is a killing field’.”

Great to see spine-stiffening example of @harvard.edu; refusal to bow to Trump's demands for staggering federal interference. Others following suit. Assault on universities = * assault on public purpose of education * on freedom of thought * on life-saving research www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
