Yesterday the #DropAllianz campaign went to Croke Park to hand in a letter signed by more than 200 All Ireland calling on the GAA Executive to refer recent submission to the Ethics and Integrity Commission.
The GAA Executive shamefully erected barricades, refusing to accept it.

NOW: We're protesting in an ASDA supermarket, demanding Israeli goods and Coca-Cola are removed from the shelves.
While the government โconsidersโ banning goods from Israelโs illegal settlements, we're acting.
By selling this produce, supermarkets profit from Israelโs crimes ๐งต
True. The EU has long opposed E1: I was in Palestine in 2010 and EU diplomats were already calling it unacceptable.
But tell us Ms @vonderleyen: is killing children, raping their parents, destroying homes/schools, acceptable?
To stop sounding farcical the EU must use sanctions
The very brilliant, tenacious, redoubtable journalist that is @gillplimmer1 of the @FT describes her decent into a sewage scandal that has rocked the nation, the making of new friends, I am honoured to be one of them and the threats, the bullying, the cajoling of the water companies all in a failed attempt to get her to stop.
Fabulous, fabulous read...

The funerals of 50 Palestinians ๐ต๐ธ
The murdered bodies only now recovered from the rubble
Lest the world forget:
Itโs racism
Itโs ethnic cleansing
Itโs a genocide
Trump ๐บ๐ธ, Netanyahu ๐ฎ๐ฑ & Starmer ๐ฌ๐ง are responsible
All belong in The Hague.
An Israeli man guarding a group of Jewish settlers who walked onto Palestinian village land opened โfire towards Palestinians who confronted them, killing a 17-year-old and โwounding a 70-year-old man. Presumably no consequences? https://t.co/7eicmZCnAk
UK pro-Palestine groups have called for a full ban on arms sales to Israel, a year on from the UK's recognition of Palestinian statehood

@HeidiBachram I'm guessing you're of the same mindset for UKLFI then?!!
Would you go so far to denounce foreign interference in the politics of other nations, eg AIPAC?!

@HeidiBachram He was found NOT GUILTY of supporting Hamas by the UK legal system, if you don't like it, then feel free to move to a jurisdiction whose judgements better apease your sense of indignation.
His point is both legally & morally valid.
I wish you peace and enlightenment

Sky News reports from the West Bank: Palestinian farmers can't water their crops. Settlers steal their water, break their pipes, and spill the rest in front of them.
Meanwhile, settlers' agribusiness thrives -on stolen land, with stolen water, exporting to the UK and Europe under disguised labels.
One in six shipments to the EU is suspected settlement produce. The UK government talks about legal consequences. It does nothing.
How messed up is the DOJ in the USA that this is happening?
It'd be laughable if it wasn't so serious; bad enough women don't have control over their own bodies, but to then prosecute them for what happens to the foetus is beyond evil
