I have taught, supervised and learned from many outstanding Palestinian students @uniofgalway.bsky.social. The standards they have achieved over the past 16 months have been truly remarkable. For the University to partner with an institution so clearly linked to their oppression defies belief.

The Garryduff Bird This tiny golden bird, thought to be a wren, is one of the true treasures in the Cork Public Museum. It measures just 1.5cm, and is delicately made from gold foil and filigree. It was found during the excavation of a ringfort in north-east Cork by MJ O'Kelly in the 1940s.

This is a huge setback for those of us campaigning for corporate accountability and human rights. Corruption isn't victimless. When e.g. a mining company bribes a government to get a license, people suffer. Money is diverted from govt services, regulations are ignored. www.ft.com/content/f880...

Many have correctly noted that forced transfer/deportation is a war crime & crime against humanity. On “voluntariness,” it bears emphasizing that the forced nature of transfer can be established where the perpetrators take advantage of a coercive environment that precludes genuine choice.
