Two images this morning:
1.The last Flotilla vessel close to Gaza.
2.Italy last night: just one of the many countries where the People took the street until late, STANDING TOGETHER for Palestine.
Palestine sees us, and knows she is not alone.
Together Against #GlobalApartheid
First time I quit a studio literally in search of oxygen, surprised to debate on what "the IDF says" or what "The American Jewish Committee thinks" IN IRELAND!
My friends: Israel has killed 20,000 children in 16months. NO EU gvt has cut ties with Israel yet, including Ireland. This is what we must discuss.
@Woodward_UN The UNSC has been unable to bring about peace in Gaza due to the US veto. Your duty is to represent UK citizens at the emergency UNGA. We demand you support the Article 377A
"Uniting for Peace" resolution. We demand an immediate #ceasefirenow + water + aid to Gaza
Today, 10 December 2023, marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
As we reflect on this, Palestinians are being crushed to pieces by bombs dropped by Israel, who ratified this declaration but continue to murder children daily.

Act today - write to your parliamentarians and tell them you want these vicious abuses of Human rights sanctioned. Boycott Istaeli goods and divest your funds from their settler colonial enterprise.
Stand up for those Human rights, take to the streets and make your voices heard!

Countless articles and books have been written about the divisions in Ireland.
The unthinkable, heartbreaking tragedy in #Creeslough demonstrates the essence of people. The empathy, the kindness, the best in people, the urge to assist, the shared grief, the common humanity.
Siobhan Carr and her tireless staff at The Coffee Pod in #Creeslough have been doling out mountains of free food and drinks to emergency workers for over 24 hours now - they’re still going as I write. They also refuse payment from journalists sheepish at the Donegal hospitality
Do you ever feel that some cities are just more alive than others?
It's probably because they're "mixed-use".
This is a simple idea, but it changes everything...
With Sinn Fein victory, DUP Leader Jeffrey Donaldson says he will paralyse the executive until Northern Ireland protocol changed.
When will they learn?! We have moved on. It’s done. Deal is signed. This constant rhetoric is the very reason you lost votes.
