@AthenaForumEU @Bernard_Lane At Dublin Pride, the socialist Solidarity/ROSA party contingent & chanted "Death, death, to the NGS" - the National Gender Service riffing on the "death, death to the IDF" chant. Both Ruth Coppinger who is a member of parliament & the party account posted it on their Instagram.

[DeeB @ddblake7]

I don't think that both Ruth Coppinger & the Solidarity party posting footage of their contingent repeatedly chanting "Death, death to the NGS" at Pride on Saturday is getting enough attention. In the context of the Darren Rigby case in the UK, this is dangerous incitement.

[DeeB @ddblake7]

Love will always win over hate, indeed Ruth C & Solidarity/Rosa,.what's chant you're posting from your Pride contingent, "death death to the NGS" because doctors in the National Gender Service are exactly the same as a genocidal army, no incitement to violence at all.

Lough Neagh is the largest lake in the British Isles. It supplies more than two-fifths of Northern Ireland's drinking water. And for three summers running it has been too poisonous to touch.

The whole lake turns a livid, paint-thick green, smothered under toxic blue-green algae. Bathing signs line all seventy-eight miles of shore. Dogs that drank at the edge fell sick. Europe's largest eel fishery, worked for centuries, was shut down. Scientists pulled the scum apart and found it teeming with hazardous bacteria, E. coli and salmonella among them, plus a toxin never before recorded on the island of Ireland. And they are still drawing drinking water out of it.

The lake is now classed hypereutrophic, the worst grade of nutrient pollution there is. The poison is phosphorus, which feeds algae like rocket fuel, and the official figures lay around 62% of it at the door of agriculture, with roughly another quarter from sewage.

None of this was a mystery. A field grazed at a sensible rate hands its nutrients back to the soil that fed it. Cram in far more animals and far more chemical fertiliser than the ground can absorb, and the surplus pours off into the rivers and down into the lough. Northern Ireland runs that phosphorus surplus year after year, because a government growth strategy told farmers to expand and keep expanding. Campaigners warned for decades exactly where it would end. They were met with shrugs.

So the largest lake in these islands was knowingly fed to death to chase agri-food output, and a warming climate and an invasive mussel finished what the slurry started.

The cruelty is the timeline. Stop every drop of pollution tomorrow, and the phosphorus already buried in the sediment will keep the blooms coming for up to forty years.

A lake ten thousand years in the making, wrecked in a single generation, and the people who run it are still pulling the tap water out of the green.

80% of all autoimmune disease patients are females.
Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto's... the disparity is massive.

​But WHY is the female immune system so prone to attacking itself?

I am glad the Bosnian flag was not displayed at this travesty of a meeting. These are two genocidal entities whose flags are fake, whose entire “nation building agenda” is based upon massacring the true nations and its people: Bosniaks & Palestinians.

More evidence of the planned ecocide of south Lebanon repeating the pattern from Gaza - rip the brilliant humanitarian Mona Khalil & the animals killed by the attack. Ecocide & the bombing to bits of cultural heritage is genocidal.

[Marwa Osman || مروة عثمان @Marwa__Osman]

They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.

They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.

Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.

Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.

This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.

The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.

@robertmcguinn18 @ColetteColfer It's very upsetting isn't it -think it's because these calculating deeply insecure men think they've trapped her as she won't leave him now she's pregnant. I've heard of men who flipped from loving to violent very shortly after marriage also. Plus they think they "own"her now
