BBC News: Amnesty says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Reporting from Jerusalem Jon Donnison explains that its not just Amnesty saying this - he mentions the ICJ & also comments by Amos Goldberg, professor of Holocaust history at a university in Jerusalem.
Incredible bravery from Nikita Hand to pursue this case. Hoping this is the start of a change of how these cases are pursued. Reform badly needed to protect victims of the rape in Ireland. Need to give the DPP no reason to refuse pursuing these cases in the future.

There needs to be an @rte Primetime investigates into the 150 bus route and where all the buses are and/or and @RTEdoconone.
