Listen to this, pinch yourself, and then listen to it again.

I can't believe that this is the BBC. That's a top, top analysis.

That's journalism. That's how media outlets should work.

Well-done, @BBCWorld

[Embassy of Ireland @IrelandEmbGB]

We are all so saddened to hear of the passing of one of Ireland’s finest writers, a “fearless teller of truths”, who made London her home. Her portrait, painted so beautifully by @colin_davidson , hangs proudly in our Embassy, and her work and courage will continue to inspire.

[David McWilliams @davidmcw]

Afternoon. Think about this.

"Ireland has a supply problem, consider that Government spending has ballooned by 47 per cent from €71 billion to €105 billion over the last five years. How can we have spent so much money with so little to show for it?"

🛑 Anthropologists, historians, and intellectuals, including many jews and holocaust survivors, are comparing now the atrocities committed by the Apartheid regime of Israel during the ongoing Genocide, with 1940s Germany, regarding especially 10 horrific simultaneous premeditated acts done in just 7 months:

1- Dehumanizing propaganda and lies (example of the fake 30 babies story on October 7 investigated and uncovered by CNN and debunked by Israeli press themselves among others).

2- The killing, burning, or burying alive of 15 000 of real babies and children, with in addition using prohibited chemical weapons like white phosphorus, and drones playing crying baby sound…

3- Starvation and extermination of people based on their ethnicity, skin color or religion, while they were putted into a concentration camp, which is Gaza, with a totally controlled siege and illegal blockade for years (open-air prison).

4- Theft of native people's land and homes and selling them to US & EU settlers, colonization, domination, ethnic cleansing, racism, violence, discrimination, forced displacement, inhumane treatment of detainees, armed checkpoints, and obvious complete destruction of infrastructure and facilities.

5- Unprecedented mass executions by dropping thousands of tons of bombs and missiles on such concentrated population, causing permanent damage to the injured, such as deformities and disabilities, along with the environmental risks resulting from the release of toxic radiation, and the presence of graves with clear signs of torture.

6- Flour Massacres targeting unarmed palestinians seeking food, and shootings on innocents with white flag or in declared « safe zones ».

7- Intentional targeting and killing of international aid workers, ambulances (shocking example of the assassination of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and the rescue team that she called), doctors, 143 journalists, and annihilation of healthcare system, note that experienced war surgeons are reporting apalling injuries unseen before.

8- Disregard for all the global authorities, conventions, human rights and laws.

9- Pillaging or destroying homes, hospitals, universities, schools, churches, mosques, cultural sites heritage, and even UN buildings, with recorded mockery by the IDF.

10- Extensive worldwide documentation, proof, videos, images, articles, interviews, testimonies, names, and online live streaming of all these indisputable facts that the whole world is witnessing !

Don't be distracted. Don't look away. Let's stick to these evidence. We will never forget. We will never stop sharing. It’s not a political or religious question here, it’s a matter of HUMANITY & FREEDOM. Never again means never again for anyone.

And always remember that Palestinians have a recognized right under international law to resist Israeli occupation under Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. This right is affirmed in the context of the right of self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule.

It's almost as if Irelands housing policy is deliberately designed to financially benefit private investment funds rather than people who need affordable homes

BREAKING: Protest of Israel's mass killing of civilians in Gaza is growing rapidly at universities around the US. Hundreds of professors at Columbia in NYC right now are outside supporting their own students who are demanding the university divest from Israel.

Powerful.👊🙏⬇️

At the @EG_Red_Crescent hub in Al Arish, I witnessed the barriers to aid getting into Gaza

All the trucks lined up, all the refused aid, hospital equipment not being allowed over the border - there is no logical reason

It’s clear people of Gaza are being collectively punished

So what's the explanation for the other 33,000 killed?

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am deeply troubled by reports that the Israeli military’s bombing campaign includes AI as a tool in the identification of targets, resulting in a high level of civilian casualties.

AI should be used as a force for good to benefit the world; not to contribute to waging war on an industrial level, blurring accountability.

The indomitable Miriam Margolyes OBE has a message in support of the Jewish Council! She calls for all of us Jews to “shout, beg, scream for a ceasefire”

The horrific level of destruction Netanyahu caused in Gaza has little to do with fighting Hamas – and much to do with trying to expel Palestinian civilians into Egypt.⤵️

Today I announced €20 million in support for the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), which provides healthcare and other services for those in need, and urged countries that have suspended funding to resume and increase support to the agency.

Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.
https://t.co/SJXMywTXb5
Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.

And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.

I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This week, I urged the Security Council to press to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza & I reiterated my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire.
‌
Regrettably, the Security Council failed to do it.
‌
But that does not make it less necessary.
‌
I promise: I will not give up.

[Robin Monotti @robinmonotti]

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.
