Poignant Video. This was recorded 1 hour before Glen (Rip) was killed. He was in the Wrens Nest, Strawberry Beds at a session.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Another day, another unspeakable act of cruelty.

There will be no consequences. Instead, our government will keep providing military and economic support, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes.

What utter inhumanity. We will not rest until Palestine is free.

[Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy]

There is so much demanding our outrage right now. So many injustices competing for our attention. And that isn’t an accident.

The goal is to exhaust us. To make it all blur together. To make us look away.

So as we push forward, keep this image in your mind:

A five-year-old child detained by ICE in Minnesota.

Not a statistic.
Not a policy debate.
A kid.

This is what our choices look like when they land on the smallest shoulders.

And if we let ourselves stop paying attention—and stop standing up—this becomes normal.

On John Hume's birthday, his powerful words on respecting difference and promoting diversity are so important today in a world filled by division, hate and conflict.

A little scare at the 9 mile mark @dublinmarathon before coming out of the Phoenix Park where a herd of deer on a mission nearly wiped out our group!

Israeli forces are said to have dropped more explosives on Gaza than fell on London, Dresden and Hamburg combined in the Second World War. The level of destruction is hard to fathom as is the humanitarian suffering.

Our Foreign Affairs Correspondent @SecKermani looks at the damage that’s been done and the challenges of now rebuilding if the ceasefire holds.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

For two years, the media has told you that this is Israel “targeting Hamas.”

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

They’ll make movies about this one day and everyone will weep — including the ones who stayed silent while it was happening in real time.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

What a truly horrific statistic. When is enough, @netanyahu ? Stop this war.

[Kit Malthouse MP @kitmalthouse]

This is happening on your watch @DavidLammy @Keir_Starmer and it’s every single day. Your inaction and cowardice shame us all.

“Precision targeting” …pulling the trigger on little kids begging for food...and the UK government shrugs…

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza.

Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

📣 We demand that @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD take immediate action to sanction lsrael for the war crime of bombing Nasser Hospital tonight where Waterford-based Dr McMonagle is currently operating on patients while hospital in flames. We have issued the following statement.

"Males who may be children" is an insane phrase to make up.

@SkySportsGolf why no coverage of @ShaneLowryGolf in the last half hour? thanks

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

IDF posted this saying Hez had a ‘command centre’ in the mosque next to the hosp but @SkyNews has spoken to surgeon from the hosp who said that’s ‘categorically untrue’, they bombed both mosque and hospital, with no Hez positions or weapons in either
