A new temporary cemetery in southern Lebanon. It was opened a week ago & already has 32 people buried in it, including at least 4 children & six women killed by Israeli attacks, locals said. They said it is ready for hundreds more.

Israel bombed 3 hospitals in Lebanon in under a week Killer 9 medical workers and injured 150 The genocidal state continues www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

FIFA and UEFA are directly responsible for this because they have granted Israel complete impunity by rejecting the case of the Palestinian Football Association against Israel. How is a state that literally abducts (and murders) members of its opposition allowed to participate in global sport?

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is design.

1. Another piece on 'We should be reasonable about this, look at the things AI could do for us' by a writer who's basing their assumptions on the hype, not on what it *can* actually do. 2. They focus on opera, where I'm sure careers are very secure. 3. The Guardian has a rights deal with OpenAI.

Saw this on FB. If you’ve ever enjoyed Aqua Teen, please help if you can. Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

"Israeli soldiers were targetting particular parts of the body on particular days. One day, it was head and neck. One day, chest. One day, legs. One day, testicles. Target practice. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes." - Dr Nick Maynard speaking in Cork, 2005

This is the concern-o-meter used by the British Government when it comes to Israel's crimes against humanity.

Ever year, I give thanks to the @alcs.co.uk. Now I give thanks Maureen Duffy, cofounder of this wonderful organisation, writer and lesbian icon. Rest in peace.

Muhammad Shehada explains that Israel refuses to allow the disposal of the giant piles of garbage in Gaza and is blocking the entry of essential items into the strip, including toilets, water filters, crutches and wheelchairs.

Daniel Levy: "every day Israeli senior officials still tells us what their intentions are.. displacement, eradication.. & unless & until there is a serious pushback against that, in terms of holding Israel accountable, in terms of not allowing Israeli impunity.."

Why isn’t this splashed all over the newspaper front pages, leading news bulletins, provoking condemnations by Western politicians?

Unlike @irishtimes.com which is using headlines telling it like a video game with no real people involved. The Lebanese people's country is being invaded and they are being expelled from their homes which are then being destroyed. But its "pushing forward" and "capturing a castle" as per the IT

democrats say they believe in the two-state solution and peace in the middle east and will then walk alongside an open advocate of genocide for fear not doing so will piss off their wealthy, supposedly liberal, pro-israel donors

Yesterday I witnessed something extraordinary: the author Sarah Wynn-Williams sitting silent on a stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social. And she got a standing ovation. I hope the attempt to censor her backfires magnificently. I have just ordered her book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Israel's campaign of murdering healthcare workers, nurses and doctors is systematic and authorized at highest levels.

the reporting of the Israeli attacks and taking of territory in Lebanon is described as a 'war' - its an invasion and land grab "everyone south of the Bahraini River should leave" is akin to a pogrom and forced eviction of civilian population www.bbc.com/news/article...

🧵 Surprised by how annoyed I am by BBC News. Its mgmt are known as far right apologists, yet it still has the ability to shock. Factually the header should be ‘Israel continues to breach ceasefire/ethnically cleanse’ [WGAF about a castle?]. ‘The zone’ is a new way of saying war crime?!* [1]

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night. The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. #Bafta #Baftas

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

This is the sort of stuff isis was doing and everyone got mad

They look ridiculous. Policemen dressing up as special forces, in armoured personnel carriers, to invade America... Their great grandfathers landed in Omaha Beach/Iwo Jima, & fought for freedom across NW Europe and Pacific, but they're "fighting for freedom" against women in US cities

"Nothing matters and there's no point in even trying because it won't work" may as well be the Taoiseach's personal motto at this point.

Students at the University of Edinburgh have opened an exhibition memorialising the more than 250 journalists who have been killed by Israel in Gaza since 7 October 2023. @stephbrawn.bsky.social

The world is watching Lebanon going through the same nightmare Gaza has endured — and once again, powerful nations are doing nothing. How many cities have to be destroyed before the world calls it what it is?

Richie Sadlier quietly and calmly explains why it will be obscene and humiliating for Ireland to play Israel at football in Dublin. “Their flag will be on that pole over there. Their fans will be in those seats.”

Richie on the ball

What Richie said.

Tyre’s Coast Nature Reserve was also designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance due to its unique biodiversity, including migratory birds, green sea turtles, and endangered loggerhead sea turtles.

Israel forced the entire population of Tyre to flee. Here's some history about the ancient Lebanese city that’s being blown to bits: • One of the world’s oldest cities • UNESCO site with Roman ruins • Early Christian center; mentioned in Bible • Once wealthy for trade, textiles & royal purple dye

Israel has invaded 40% of Lebanon and is busy destroying every single building. But there are no sanctions for Israel, they won't even suspend free trade with them. They just pretend to be against it while doing nothing.

This is called an invasion.

And "ordered to leave" here is under threat of bombardment. These so-called 'evacuation orders' are purely to give western media a way to absolve Israel when they later kill civilians. Civilians *do not* have a legal obligation to leave, but combatants *do* have an obligation to avoid harming them.

I think we really need to revisit what "ceasefire" actually means.

For the millionth time, Jews are not Israel and Israel is not and nor will ever be all Jewish people. Jewish culture should be celebrated, just like Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, etc.
