“Can you imagine explaining being afraid of UEFA “disciplinary measures” to an orphan amputee who lives in a tent?” ~Aoife Moore The Irish News ☕️🥐

Ireland should not play UEFA games against Israel. We should demand Israel are banned from the competition. Sign and share the petition if you agree my.uplift.ie/petitions/fa... @uplift.ie

Gaza's children have been abandoned. But you can give them food, shelter, and water. Please donate anything you can to this verified Palestinian charity. chuffed.org/project/1640...

Today is International Migrants Day. The immigration debate has become increasingly toxic - so we asked the public what they think. Watch and share if you agree 🔁

I remember being touched by this during the pandemic. As Michael D and Sabina retire thanks to them both for all they have done over the years 🥰

There is a perfectly logical centrist market-based argument for migration to the UK. We have a falling birth rate, £5 trillion in future pension liabilities, not to mention a national skills service in loads of key industries including both low (care) and high (computing) paid work.

While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland | Nesrine Malik

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pensions, productivity and the myth of the migrant “drain” – why Britain’s real crisis is ageing, not immigration. Another cracker from the Bear. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Israel is deliberately depriving people of water in #Gaza. The amount of water available for Palestinians is incredibly insufficient. This is unacceptable: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-is...

“#Gaza: more journalists killed today. Silencing the last remaining voices reporting about children dying silently amid #famine. The world’s indifference & inaction is shocking." Full statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif reporting from Gaza, shortly before Israel killed him tonight: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

#BREAKING | Irish president calls for potential MILITARY ACTION in Gaza He wants the UN to invoke ‘Chapter 7’ – which allows an international force to defend aid corridors ‘Are we to watch children starving? Something MUST happen’

“There is no Israeli public figure whose sleep is disturbed by the children screaming in terror and in hospitals…” ~Gideon Levy Haaretz ☕️🥐

The Irish Great Famine; “Gorta Mór” (Great hunger); “Drochshaol” (the bad times) is a defining disaster in Irish history. It’s the before and after of our understanding of our country. Generally accepted estimate is 1 million died, and millions fled, and the Irish population fell for generations 1/

Taoiseach Micheál Martin accuses Israel of war crime over blocking of aid entering Gaza

This is incredibly powerful from the WHO’s Emergencies Director, Dr Mike Ryan, on the world doing nothing as the children of Gaza die. “This is an abomination.” (🎥 Middle East Eye)

It is vital that we continue every single effort we can to stop the slaughter in Gaza. This week I spoke in support of the Arms Embargo Bill as one mechanism we can use to restrict and stop the military machine that continues to facilitate the murder and maiming of innocent men, women and children.

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck. If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

The country that’s famous for how much it loves killing lots of children is once again killing lots of children

The Reintroduction Of Beaver www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Today is day 12 of a total blockade on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no medicine, no water. This is US-backed mass slaughter.

A UN investigation has concluded that Israel carried out “genocidal” acts in Gaza through the systematic destruction of sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities. http://jrnl.ie/6648608

I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire 43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

Vaccines have been a hotly-debated political topic lately. Here's the honest truth about them.

𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐌 É𝐎𝐖𝐘𝐍 𝐔𝐏𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆. The Met Office has upgraded to a red warning on Friday. This means there is a potential danger to life, with dangerous conditions expected. We are liaising with Council officers about what this means for services and I'll post more when I have an update.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy: How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

‘Proper conditions’ is the bleakest euphemism for ethnic cleansing and genocide i’ve yet to hear

1. Emergency care in Northern Ireland has essentially collapsed. This was eminently predictable, especially considering the high incidence of influenza in the region at this point. The cause is multi-factorial. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are no more 'yeh buts...' This is clearly war crime. We demand the UK government ban all arms sales to Israel and apply sanctions now. No more. For the love of humanity. No more.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

“A Division 99 reservist describes watching a drone feed showing ‘an adult with two children crossing the forbidden line.’ They were walking unarmed. ‘Suddenly we heard a massive explosion. A combat helicopter had fired a missile at them. …This is pure evil.’”
