Councillors passed a motion for Drogheda to become an Apartheid-free zone earlier this year. It received unanimous support.
Today we finally had the opportunity to thank members of the council in person, including Mayor of Drogheda, Michelle Hall, who put the motion forward in response to Israel's oppression of the Palestinian people.
It was also an honour to meet with local group Drogheda Stands with Palestine.
We share a history of colonisation with Ireland. The support of the Irish people gives us strength. The Palestinian people see the Irish support on their TVs and mobiles.
We trust that we will gain our freedom, just as Irish people have gained their freedom.
Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group.
There's a reason nobody has ever done this.
It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.
Belfast, get ready 🇮🇪🔥

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions:
First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites.
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense.
Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate.
Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work.
Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.
Congratulations to Josh Kelly on becoming the World Super Welterweight Champion tonight. It was a thoroughly deserving victory. Huge credit to @boxingbooth on a great strategic gamelan and all the team involved. Job done! 👏🏼👏🏼
A powerful image of young people coming together from the Shankill & Ardoyne to take pride in their community.
The teenagers gathered at the roundabout where Twaddell Avenue meets the Crumlin Road earlier this week to give it a deep clean.
Our young people give me great hope for the future, proving that by working together we can break down barriers & build new friendships.
Well done to everyone involved! 👏🏻
Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families.
Having banned ANY international journalist from entering.
Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards.
Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow.
The last thread of charitable aid removed.
An evil beyond humanity.
Take ACTION

Fifty-three years ago, British soldiers callously murdered civilians on the streets of Derry.
Over fifteen years ago, the British Prime Minister publicly acknowledged the role of those soldiers.
Yet, not a single British soldier or their superiors, has been held accountable.
This is a grave injustice.
I commend the courage and unwavering determination of the Bloody Sunday families.l and extend my solidarity to them and our continued support in pursuit of justice.
