From the playing field to standing with Palestine, Ireland continues to inspire. Tighe’s hurling partner today? Ireland’s President, Catherine Connolly. 🇮🇪🇵🇸

@CarlowWeather Did we not have summers like this in the 80s? I remember drought as a kid.

'Israel says' isn't journalism.

As Israel slowly murders Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, this is shameful from the BBC

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.

>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.

In the Irish town of Nenagh, solidarity with Palestine is part of everyday life.

For 1,000 days, this community has refused to look away. They have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Gaza through extraordinary grassroots efforts. Today, grandparents, parents, and children gathered together to mark this painful milestone and renew their commitment to justice. Their compassion, perseverance, and belief that ordinary people can make a difference are a powerful reminder that solidarity knows no borders.

🚨A 4 month old BABY died because soldiers REFUSED TO OPEN A GATE to a waiting ambulance

If this was ANY OTHER COUNTRY we would be shocked to our core

But it’s Israeli soldiers, so no one is surprised - their cruelty has become so normalised.

The most IMMORAL army on Earth

Americans were told this is what Iranians would do to express gratitude to American and Israeli invaders for bombing them: pour out on the streets to welcome us as liberators.

It usually doesn't turn out that way. Turns out most people don't like being bombed by foreigners.

Land seized. Protected wetland bulldozed for billionaires. 35 days of mass protests.

In an EU candidate country.

EU response?
Von der Leyen: silent.
Kallas: silent.
Kos: "the government reassured me, all's fine."

Why the silence, EU Commission?🦩 #Albania #FlamingoRevolution

British veteran journalist Peter Hitchens is raising very uncomfortable questions today in the Mail on Sunday about the West's double standards. The title of the article is: "Are we villains? If Putin had done what the West did, we would be outraged".

He points out that the Western press, joyfully commenting on the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran, did not even mention the death of his one-year-old granddaughter: "NO ONE in the US government ever directly commented on her death, let alone apologized. It seems that it's the Iranians' fault that they had a little girl when the US decided to kill her grandfather in a surprise attack".

He then asks to imagine the uproar in Europe if Russia had done the same as the Americans did with the girls' school in Minab or what the Israelis did with Gaza. In conclusion, Hitchens concludes:

Maybe it's worth trying something else?
For these suggestions, of course, I will again be called a pacifist, a traitor, etc.
This mindless nonsense is drowning debates in countries that have allowed primitive propaganda to supplant thought. If we continue in this vein, we are heading for a complete national catastrophe.

Yes, few dare to ask such obvious questions out loud in the mainstream Western press.

This is the biggest story of our age. Why public services don’t work anymore. Why we can’t stop climate change before it kills us all.

There’s been a coup. Corporations have their hands on the levers of power now. Your government works for them, not you👇

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Ana Kasparian exposes a leaked recording of Israeli officials ordering the bombing of their own abducted soldiers.

The Zionist regime intentionally murdered its own people to prevent any leverage.

They never cared about the hostages.

Pure evil!

Sometimes reality is crazier than science fiction. This is the international space station, carrying humans, passing between my spot in the desert and the moon.

Se cumplen 64 años de la Operación Ranch Hand, en la cual el ejército imperialista de EEUU roció más de 80 millones de litros de Agente Naranja sobre el sur de Vietnam, envenenando a más de 4,8 millones de vietnamitas.

400.000 vietnamitas murieron o sufrieron lesiones permanentes debido a la exposición al Agente Naranja, el compuesto químico más tóxico jamás creado por el hombre, que destruyó el 20% de todos los bosques del pais y envenenó 10 millones de hectáreas de tierras que quedaron infértiles y contaminadas para siempre.

Cerca de medio millón de niños vietnamitas han nacido con graves malformaciones congénitas o discapacidades físicas y mentales, además potenciar más de 20 enfermedades graves, incluyendo cánceres y trastornos nerviosos.

An Israeli soldier throws a stun grenade into a car carrying a Palestinian family, trapping them inside for the full blast.

Their 5 year old daughter was made permanently blind.

Imagine this was a Jewish family? It would rightly be on every news station.
