“Hard to escape the feeling that the world is rapidly descending into a new dark Age of Idiocracy – one dominated by deranged politicians, predatory corporations & billionaire narcissists who have disengaged from reality” My take in today’s Business Post. www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

BBC reporting Israeli military just killed 51 Palestinians as they waited for flour at an Israeli run Gaza aid site. So to recap, Israel: -Blocks aid to Gaza -Blocks UNRWA from getting aid into Gaza -Insists on setting up its own aid sites -Murders starving Palestinians seeking aid This Is Genocide

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

This piece is loaded with lazy personal attacks, conspiratorial framing, science denial, and a sneering tone that reeks of misogyny. Greta is a bright light for humanity. She tells the truth when too many won’t. Finn McRedmond and the IT should apologise to Greta Thunberg and withdraw this piece.

“Dozens of people have been killed near GHF distribution points since late May, according to Gaza's civil defense agency. It said Israeli forces killed another 21 people waiting for aid on Thursday.” This is beyond outrageous. And the EU is doing nothing to stop it 😑 www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

Israel is intentionally starving millions of occupied civilians, and has now set up an 'aid' organisation at which, when people go to try to get food, are repeatedly massacred in huge numbers. It's pure evil. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

The more I think about Kathy Sheridan’s piece on cyclists’ behaviour, the more upset I become. With so many injuries and deaths caused by motor vehicles, portraying cyclists as the threat is baffling. Do better, Kathy Sheridan. Do better, The Irish Times.

As I cuddle in my children this weekend my heart is sore for the parents in Gaza who cannot feed their babies, toddlers & children due to the Israeli blockade of supplies. I am so frustrated at political leaders across the EU doing nothing to stop it. Shame on us all.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

“We are breaking the bodies and the minds of the children of Gaza. We are starving the children of Gaza, because if we don’t do something about it, we are complicit in what is happening before our very eyes. We are complicit. We are causing this, you, us and everyone who does nothing about it.”

No humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for nearly two months. Food stocks are running out. Aid remains stuck outside Gaza, ready to move. UNRWA and partners have lifesaving assistance waiting at the borders. Border crossings must reopen. People in Gaza cannot wait any longer.

During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months.
