It’s a dying language… LOL

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

So what'd you do before you were able to Google the lyrics of songs?

Well kids, I accepted without question that this woman's lover had no money but DID thankfully have a "trombolese"

@keithmobrien What has helped me is making sure I have quality time before and after creche - it helps ease the guilt a little bit and it really does get better (youngest refused to eat, drink & sleep when he started, 3 months later and he loves it!)

In Galway you can easily tell who’s ‘home’ for Christmas from Dublin or London or wherever because they are wearing proper fashion coats rather than the ugly anoraks we all wear in this godforesaken Atlantic perch

What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? A thread…

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

[Treasa @_treasa]

@keithmobrien Congratulations 🎉 and I completely agree that there should be more support given. It's even luck of the draw with PHN visits here and them actually engaging the dad - if we want a more equal workload then the support and guidance needs to be there first...

Can we stop asking new parents "Are they sleeping through the night?" its not even biologically normal for young babas. It's like asking "Are they making their own lunch yet??"
