One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module.
I’ll show them a documentary about May 26th 2024 - when Israel dropped several 2 thousand ton bombs on sleeping refugees in a tent, the students will lament on how the world could possibly remain silent if we had video footage from months of similar carnage.
We’ll sociologically analyze how global consent and complicity is manufactured through propaganda, and then students will be asked to write a 1000 word essay on the fake beheaded babies story.
And this is how history simply repeats itself, unless the cycle is broken by a few brave souls.
Are you on of them?
“It is outrageous that those who oppose war must fight for the space to argue for peace.
The industry military complex is the most dangerous unaccountable organisation on the planet.”
And on students protesting Gaza “good luck to them.”

All you people doing Darkness into Light this Saturday: Please note that the CEO of Pieta House earns :€2,500 per week. Let that sink in. €120,000 per annum, rising to almost €150,000 after benefits. As CEO of an MH charity that's disgusting. Stephanie Manahan is her name.
Most of the 1.3 million Palestinians now taking shelter in Rafah & threatened with an Israeli massacre there have been previously ordered by the Israel to evacuate & take shelter in the southern areas, including in Rafah.
You see the point? Evacuating doesn’t guarantee safety
In light of Israel's decision to ban AJ is asking as many people as possible to share the film, as a gesture of solidarity, and to encourage others to do so.⬇️🙏- https://t.co/Xm6oH37wXz https://t.co/Xm6oH37wXz
The final slaughter begins. This is entirely down to Biden, Blinken, Sunak, Cameron, Van Der Leyen and the EU. There is no excuse for not stopping Netanyahu from doing this. He gave them months of notice he would this. But they still backed him and sent him more money and arms.
It was believed that #witches would shape-shift into hares! They would then suck a cow dry of milk by night! There's stories of hares who had been wounded disappearing into the night with the same wound seen on the local wise-woman the following day! 📷AlanWolfe #FolkloreSunday🧙♀️
Today, German authorities raided the Palestine Conference (@wirklagenan), an event co-sponsored by a broad coalition of organizations including PI member @DiEM_25.
Some 2,000 Berlin police officers mobilized to block access to the building, disable the livestream, cut power to the facility, and arrest participants. @GhassanAbuSitt1, who was meant to speak about his experiences as a surgeon in Gaza, was detained at the airport.
This vicious act of repression speaks volumes to Germany's complicity in the genocide in Gaza. It cannot be allowed to stand.
The @Progintl stands in solidarity with the participants, organizers, and those putting their lives and freedoms on the line to oppose the genocide — in Palestine and around the world.
“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.” -Dr. Fozia Alvi https://t.co/6kYj7ICWdP
Mohammed Zaher al-Nono, who works at Shifa Hospital in Gaza, refused to leave the hospital and insisted on continuing to treat the wounded. He was executed by the Israeli army forces in front of his patients. #GazaGenocide

Ridiculous #Referendum2024
A campaign led by people with disabilities & their allies successfully rejected a paternalistic care referendum. Their voices, ignored by Leinster House & NGOs is now an organised & powerful movement. Politicians & NGOs now need to be humble, listen & learn. #Referendum2024
Please. Please Everyone. Please Read This Thread & Vote NO on Care #Referendum 42.B Which Places Constitutional Responsibility Exclusively on the Family
Please hear @TomClonan remind us that the average person will live 8 years of their lives with a disability. Do you want your constitution to say the State need only 'strive' to support care provided by your family? With no reference to care in the community? #VoteYesNo
Independent TD Catherine Connolly speaking on the #Referendum says, 🗣“this is a step in the wrong direction.”
