This isn't the one spiked under the pretext that the young lad in it was related to a civil servant in the public service which is under Hamas. This one was commissioned by the BBC who were then leant on by the British Govt to suppress it. That's failed because the filmmaker has rights to it.

This article provides context on why many Irish advocates for Palestine are disappointed and angry that the Occupied Territories Bill was gutted in favour of this new bill. We need to - and will - keep pushing and agitating for a full ban on trade and services. tinyurl.com/2nm78eas

Zohran invoking Nelson Mandela in his victory messaging is yet another indication of his strong internationalistic bona fides. The son of a filmmaker and a philosopher from Uganda/India, a polyglot, raised up in the most diverse city on Earth, steeped in African and Asian political traditions.

This statement by Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists argues that we must oppose the US and Israeli assault on Iran while also refusing to endorse the repressive Iranian government. Genocidal imperialist projects will never liberate us, nor will patriarchal nationalist regimes protect us.

Laura Kuennsberg manufacturing consent for bombing Iran by citing amongst other things same-sex relationships. Nothing justifies the bombing of Iran by Israel and the US - homonationalism and the BBCs use of it to legitimise mass murder is abhorrent. #BBCLauraK

This is an example of the kind of work my producer/cameraman colleague Fady Hossam has been making inside #Gaza. He and his brother got hit by shrapnel from an Israeli air strike while searching for food on Thursday. Fady is the sole breadwinner for many relatives. 🧵

Congrats to Kallas for making what I am certain will turn out to be the single largest rhetorical contribution to the cause of Irish neutrality in at least a decade. They'll be talking about this one for years

I had an election leaflet from this Fine Gael man that had no info on it bar photos of him with other political heads and celebrities, and a photoshopped image of, I swear to god, him doing a wheelie on a high-powered motorcycle.

By coincidence I was passing Tuam today as the hoarding went up around the Mother & Baby Home site. A discreet and respectful veil. It’s 11 years since I took this photo of Catherine Corless at her kitchen table. I rang her today just to say hi. 🧵

The attacks on WFH are almost exclusively in bad faith and have everything to do with vested interests in general and commercial property funds shitting the bed in particular. The idea that it has been a factor in the rise in political violence is simply the latest manifestation.

Good article on the Collinson brother's Irish political vehicle "Progress Ireland" that slyly prods their team of lobbyists about their economical approach to affordable housing. (PI are right wing dangers funded by billionaire Zionist libertarian tech bros whose goal is upwards wealth transfer).
