Next month Belfast will be full of people chanting about being “up to their knees in fenian blood”. Tonight Belfast will be full of those same people pretending to care about a “fenian” being brutally attacked in violent attack to promote their racism and other even more people.
Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice.
This has nothing to do with community.
This is outright thuggery.
The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong.
But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.
Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur.
There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight.
No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.
'We are running London Marathon in memory of our mum before we die of same condition'
Jordan and Cian Adams from Redditch are running the London marathon to raise awareness of frontotemporal dementia - before taking on 32 marathons in 32 days across Ireland's 32 counties - all with a fridge strapped on Jordan's back

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
Actually just a little bit mind-breaking that the "I love Hitler" guy isn't getting the same kind of ice-chewing, teeth-gnashing response that "Death to the IDF" and "Free Palestine" got.
El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos.
Mismo crimen, distinta pena.
Eso no es justicia. Es un paso más hacia el apartheid.
El mundo no puede callar.
Today is Land Day.
50 years ago today, six un-armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
Palestinians observe today by holding protest marches and planting olive trees.
