Le grá, ó Ghaillimh ❤️

Some bits on the harsh reality of the ceasefire plan in Gaza, including some details that have not been perhaps as widely reported as they should ⬇️

I got taken out tonight to see Declan O'Rourke & he sang this for #Palestine so beautiful 💚

17,000 children in Gaza have lost both parents amid ongoing siege and bombings. The IDF is beginning an assault on Gaza City, while Israel has confirmed a settlement plan in the West Bank intended to permanently “erase” the idea of a Palestinian state. More on #VMNews

Today, I joined with comrades from the Swedish National Union Of Journalists to send a message to the world - #stopkillingjournalists.

Placards from this evening’s protest.

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza. And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

Rep Claudia Tenney, recipient of tens of thousands in AIPAC money; who says the West Bank should be renamed “Judea and Samaria” and declared part of Israel; who welcomed sanctioned extremist Itamar Ben Gvir to Washington, is the leader of a group of less than 20 people to sign this letter.

Dignity for Palestine has kept their Community Kitchen running now 4days in a row because people like you are helping. Hit me up if you want to contribute/raise money For more go to: www.nonviolenceinternational.net/dignity_for_...

Six-month-old Zainab Abu Hleib has passed away at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis as a result of severe malnutrition.

Joudi Sharif Al-Arour, just 6 months old, is suffering from severe malnutrition.

Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor falls, the major lifts The baffled king composing Where’s me jumper Where's me jumper Where's me jumper Where's me jumper

The Ditch stands with all those doing what they can to confront genocide and our state’s complicity in it. Nell Buckley, Emma O'Grady, Jane Windey and others appear in Ennis District Court on September 10, and The Ditch will stand with them. We encourage others to join us.

In years to come, many may ask how the world watched on as the people of Gaza starved.

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

Water delivered by Dignity for Palestine in Gaza. As always big thanks to Adam SpiceBag Doyle, the tortoise shack and anyone who has helped.

Bobby Vylan released an important statement clarifying he and his band are “not for the death of Jews”. It is hardly being reported but in the interests of balance and fairness it ought to be.

🔥 Kneecap absolutely lit at Glastonbury. Solidarity, standing with Palestine Action, calling out the BBC, Keir Starmer and Rod Stewart (boycott breaker). They can never silence our rejection of Israel’s genocide, they will never shut down our solidarity with Palestine #FreePalestine #BDS 🇵🇸

@Maybe visas get revoked, you’re not allowed in America again, it’s not ideal – but Jesus Christ, there’s people being bombed from the fucking skies, and people being starved to death” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

“How dare you justify a genocide on the Palestinians?” This is the moment Belgian politician and member of the Flemish Parliament, Jos D'Haese, slammed Israel’s ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg, Idit Rosenzweig-Abu, over the war on Gaza.

It’s unlikely EU member states will agree to sanction israel for breaches of the EU’s own human rights clause of the Israel-EU Association Agreement.

🗣️ "There should be a flotilla of Irish naval vessels.” Liam Cunningham has said the Freedom Flotilla bound for Gaza is “doing the job we’re supposed to be doing”. The flotilla left Italy on Sunday, carrying food, medical supplies and baby items. #VMNews

Israel denys claims from the Red Cross & others and any responsibility for dozens shot and killed at aid centres. None of the gathering of facts would be an issue if journalists were allowed in. It’s important that we broadcasters keep making this point daily, our fellow humans lives depend upon it.

Public figures, including Steve Coogan and Nadia Sawalha, joined an 18-hour-long vigil in London to read aloud the names of thousands of Palestinian children killed in Israel’s war on Gaza.

When the Dunnes Stores workers stood against apartheid South Africa almost 40yrs ago Bishop Desmond Tutu called them the most dangerous shop workers in the world. But Dan is right. The idea that Ireland can lead is odd if not delusional. Best not to try.

Literally the Lemkin Institute

As we played London, this was the scene as Drogheda United played Bohs in the league of Ireland. GRMA to both of you legends 👏👏👏

#LFC have confirmed that former captain Alan Hansen will present the Premier League trophy to Virgil van Dijk at Anfield on Sunday. Community representatives Mark and Jo McVeigh from the foundation will carry the trophy out pitchside and place it on the plinth 🔴

Shocked by the daily news coming from Gaza: civilians starving, hospitals hit again by strikes. Violence must stop! The Israeli government must lift the blockade now and ensure the safe, swift, and unimpeded access of humanitarian aid. ↓

As the old Irish philosopher Forty Coats once pondered, if a protest happens in a forest and Frances Black and @liamcunningham1.bsky.social aren’t around to hold the banner, does it make a sound? 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇪

It’s apparently still controversial to speak out on Gaza in many parts of the western world. In years to come, I feel it will be seen as controversial not to have spoken about it or made it central to civic, social, media and political discourse.

Gaza re-breaks my heart every single day. But there’s a tiny bit of consolation in knowing that the work we do makes a difference. This is another water initiative made possible by the #TortoiseShack and our members. #Dignity4Palestine

Private equity targeted Ireland while it was vulnerable and Nama facilitated it. Fianna Fáil wants the public to believe the CEO who encouraged this brigandage would fix the housing market – even as he currently profits from it with his short-term let. www.ontheditch.com/comment-bren...

RTE spent more time covering Sharon Osborne’s hurty feelings than they did covering the government’s ongoing efforts to increase homelessness. Reminder: if something is getting worse every year for over a decade that’s not a political failure; that’s a political policy.

They lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie.

🛑 My main Bluesky account with over 9,000 followers has been banned. I've lost access to DMs and can no longer upload photos or videos—punishment for reporting on Gaza. I won’t be silenced. You can follow my continued coverage on this account and will soon create a new backup account.

In Ireland a homeless person goes to prison for stealing food, but if you pocket hundreds of thousands of euro via a scam barter account the Taoiseach will go on your podcast.

Hell is empty. All the devils are here.

Happy anniversary to my very brief and unsuccessful media career.

The story continues for Mo Salah at #LFC 🔴🇪🇬👑

Francesca Albanese has been reappointed as UN Special Rapporteur for another 3 years, the Netherlands failed to get her banned from being reselected. Not everyone bows down to Israel. Keep resisting.

#Spéirghorm #irishpol Strip search the fucking war planes NOT the mothers.

The number of homeless people in Ireland has jumped to 15,378, a new record.  The figures, released by the Department of Housing, show there were 10,725 adults and 4,653 children in emergency accommodation in February.  #HomelessCrisis #HowIrelandWorks
