Kneecap must answer for this - right guys ?

When the last Palestinian child dies from bombing or hunger the world will cry 'if only we had known', 'if only we could have stopped it', 'never again' (heard this before?). The world does know. The world can stop it. The world will let it happen again. The collective inaction is humanity's shame.

Said with passion. Will EU leaders listen?

To the people of Palestine, Im sorry you have been utterly failed by the EU. Never Again means Never Again for anyone. #FreePalestine #StopIsraeliGenocide

Time for direct action, no wait, time for sanctions, no bin that, time for a strongly worded letter, no too forceful. Time to talk about maybe, possibly, at some stage giving them a slightly raised eyebrow, there, that'll teach them.

Delighted for Jamesy Forrest.

Imagine the creosoted Hutt ragging anyone else's skin..

"[Send] Balm of a Thousand Flowers for to take off the pimples on my face". So wrote young Irish emigrant Thomas Diver of the 69th Pennsylvania Infantry to his mother. Not long afterwards he died on this spot facing Pickett's Charge, together with many of his fellow Irishmen.

OTD 1945 Churchill's mendacious victory speech accused the Irish of frollicking with the Germans and Japanese, despite knowledge of extensive Irish cooperation with the Allies. When De Valera hit back, he didn't miss and hit the wall

Albion, always perfidious.

The entire population of Gaza faces a critical risk of famine, with half a million people facing starvation, a global hunger monitor has said, calling this a major deterioration since its last report in October

Absolute evil being played out in real time. We in Ireland know the horror of starvation manufactured by an occupying power. The Irish government need to push for the UN to act. Wringing their hands is not good enough. The entire world should be ashamed of its inaction.

If Starmer thinks that the gammon populace he appears to be courting are going to rush to take up the (shamefully) low paid posts presently filled by mainly immigrants he's even more of an idiot than i thought.

There is no such thing as a 'low skilled worker'. All roles bring their own particular set of skill and knowledge required. It's just an excuse to continue to pay shamefully low wages.

This #InternationalNursesDay, we celebrate nurses, the backbone of global health systems. While nurses provide extensive care, only 42% of countries have mental well-being resources to support their nurses. Let’s care for the carers 👉 bit.ly/4dcr5dz #HealthForAll #MentalHealth

My brain: dont say it, dont say it, DONT SAY IT.. Me: too warm isnt it?

This is a precursor to USA aiding the brutal Israeli to ethnically cleanse Gaza, in the meantime they will seek to profit from the horrendous suffering of the Palestinian people. The world stands idly by.

Kaja Kallas’ comments around finding an ‘alternative’ to UNRWA are utterly shameful and a complete betrayal of international law, Instead of undermining the work of UNRWA, she should focus on who is responsible for blocking humanitarian aid."  www.thejournal.ie/meps-slam-eu...

Night of 4/5 May 1941, Belfast suffered its second major air raid. Fewer people are killed than previous raid (still over 200), but the city centre and much industry was devastated by incendiaries and high explosives

OTD 1600 For Arthur Chichester not enough blood was being spilled 'the traitors in many places receive blows though we kill not in multitudes which cannot be howsoever we be beat them they are swift of foot, it is famine not the sword that must reduce this country' #nineyearswar

Russia has attacked a ship in international waters that was on a humanitarian mission, the world has reacted with outrage and promises a strong response..actually it was Israel and the world will do F.A.

Calls For Controversial Hip Hop Group ‘Israel’ To Apologise For Murder Of 20,000 Children

England. One of a handful of countries in the World where the right of universal franchise should perhaps be reviewed.

If only politicians and the media reacted with half as much energy and fury to the genocide and looming starvation in Gaza, as they do to those speaking out against it.

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

Voters in England can vote for: Tories = party that creates poverty. Labour = party that wants to punish those in poverty. Reform = party that doesnt think there is enough poverty. Or someone else. Lets see how this goes.

What would Bealtaine be without a good thunderstorm..

Gee, guess Coachella really upset a lot of Zionists.

Oh dear, Trump not happy with his tech bro pals.

The chaos in Spain and Portugal shows just how dependent society is on energy supplies and how disrupted modern life becomes when those supplies are interrupted. Frightening glimpse of the future?

RFK is a weirdo, and ignorant, but dangerous with it when he promotes pseudo science, as sadly there are people who will believe his utter garbage.

Statement by President Michael D. Higgins on the death of Pope Francis president.ie/en/media-lib...

I have many issues with the church(es), they have a long way to go for atonement, and to make amends, but i always found Pope Francis an immensely warm and likeable man, i genuinely believe he tried to bring change, and was a truly caring and compassioniate person. May he rest in peace.

“You could be forgiven for thinking Martin is deliberately stalling progress towards reunification, because reunification will inevitably mean the end of the FF/FG duopoly on government in the south.” ~Brian Feeney The Irish News ☕️🥐
