Inea’s story is one of home, tradition, and memory over generations.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Thanks very much to Tommy Bowe and Muireann O'Connell for having me back on the sofa for the release of my novel, Prestige Drama. Very disappointed in Tommy for doing all his links excellently and creating zero viral moments, but he has pledged to do better next time and I accept this.

Mick Lynch "Zack Polanski isn't inciting hatred for Jews he believes he is an agent of peace and that Israel is carrying out Mass Murder in Gaza and the West Bank, and I believe that too." When Mick Lynch speaks sense, he speaks sense.

In a post promoting the British Army and their actions, Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, actually used footage of Bloody Sunday. There are no words.

On a day when all the headlines lead on British values, there's a powerful irony that there is next to no coverage on national BBC news programmes of the Springhill Inquest findings. These values are in short supply when families have to fight for decades for justice: share.google/7TAptGHwQJBV...
