On every single street in San Sebastián are Palestine flags.

A thriving city, full of tourists, unafraid to demonstrate solidarity & humanity.

Meanwhile in Dublin City centre you struggle to see any despite huge public support...with US flags aplenty.

We need many more 🇵🇸

'israel' just committed a massacre in Gaza.

The IOF bombed a tent. Inside a school. Sheltering displaced Palestinian families.

Evil monsters.
This is a Western backed, Western funded genocide.

That Ben Gvir post that everyone is sharing aghast? It is a perfectly normal and common Israeli view, held by millions. It is the Israeli mainstream, and not extreme in the least. I grew up hearing that endlessly

A Nazi.

But more dangerous than the Nazis of the past. This one and his government is backed by the UK/EU/US.

This is Zionism

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel bombed Lebanon with banned phosphorus munitions, violating Security Council resolution SCR 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

شعب المغرب العزيز الذي لم يفقد البوصلة…

رفع مشجعون مغاربة علم فلسطين ورددوا هتافات تضامنية خلال احتفالات الفوز على اسكتلندا بهدف في ملعب "جيليت"، ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية من دور المجموعات في بطولة كأس العالم 2026.

The contrast between the coverage of the Edinburgh attack and the Golders Green stabbings is extraordinary. It’s impossible to see any explanation other than very crude, simple racism.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Way down the @BBCNews agenda. Not headlines, no national soul searching just a minor story. Why???

The first person in British history to initiate the private management of an entire NHS hospital was Andy Burnham.

I visited the first Gaza Holocaust Memorial in the US

Every American city should host the Wall of Tears

We paid for this genocide and should reckon with it for eternity

Andy Burnham joined Labour friends of Israel in 2015.
Same shit, different day.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not once in this report are data centres mentioned. Not once!!!!
Instead @IrishWater blames the public for the shortages. Bold little peasants watering their gardens and filling paddling pools for their overheated children are to blame.

My Question: “Has Israel built large cranes in Gaza to machine gun people?”

Answer: Yes. One Gaza-based journalist said the cranes "fire randomly… almost continuously...

Unicef said a 12-year-old girl (was) shot in the chest from a crane-mounted gun while in her tent

Two small island economies blew up in 2008. Iceland and Ireland. Their names differ by one letter, and their handling of the crisis differed by everything that matters.

Iceland's three big banks, Kaupthing, Landsbanki, and Glitnir, had grown assets to roughly ten times the country's GDP by 2008. Pure credit-fueled madness. When the music stopped, the Icelandic government did the unthinkable: it let them fail. Bondholders ate the losses. The state refused to socialize private bank debt onto 320,000 citizens who never signed up for it. Capital controls went up, the króna collapsed, and the politicians actually prosecuted bankers. Twenty-six of them went to prison. Sigurður Einarsson and Hreiðar Már Sigurðsson, the men who ran Kaupthing, served real sentences.

Ireland took the opposite road. In September 2008, the Irish government issued a blanket guarantee covering the liabilities of its major banks, including Anglo Irish Bank, a property-lending casino that should have been allowed to die in peace. The taxpayer absorbed the bill. By the time the rescue ended, Ireland had poured around 64 billion euros into its banks, roughly 40 percent of GDP. The state took on private gambling debts, then went to the Troika in 2010 hat in hand for an 85 billion euro bailout, and accepted years of austerity to pay for losses it had no business owning.

Both economies recovered. Both eventually grew again. The difference is who paid and who learned. Iceland made creditors and reckless bankers bear the consequences of their own decisions, which is the entire point of capitalism: profit and loss, not profit and bailout. Ireland protected the people who made the bad bets and handed the invoice to schoolteachers and shopkeepers.

You will hear economists call Ireland's GDP rebound a triumph (much of that "growth" is multinational accounting fiction, Leprechaun economics, but that's another lesson). What they skip is the moral architecture. When you guarantee bank liabilities, you abolish the discipline that makes markets work. You tell every banker in the country that downside is optional.

Iceland jailed its bankers. Ireland reimbursed theirs.
