I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work.
Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

Remember when Israel said it doesn’t bomb Hospitals?

My piece in the Journal this weekend.

If we turn Connemara into a large national park, it could be Ireland's Yellowstone.

We need large scale nature restoration in Ireland. The positive nature and health benefits could be enormous.

I saw the israelis shoot 2 fishermen, one in the back & one in the neck: we were denied access to save them: I bore witness to that, says James Elder

France has helped assassinate 23 progressive African presidents since 1963, and people have the audacity to ask “why is Africa the way it is “

In Gaza, Israel has destroyed

- churches dating back to the 5th century, mosques to the early 7th century

- every university

- museums

- cemeteries

- an ancient harbour

- libraries

- archives

And people are crying over a painting of the arch-racist Arthur Balfour.

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

Three months ago there were 36 hospitals in Gaza. This morning there are none. Zero. All have been bombed by Israel. The same country that claimed at the International Court of Justice that they would never attack a hospital.

If he's so angry, he should run for election and try to become Minister for Housing so he can do something about it.

BREAKING:

⚡ 🇮🇱 Yedioth Ahronoth:

"Nova Concert victims sue Israel"

42 victims of the Oct. 7 Nova concert have filed a civil lawsuit against the IDF, police, and Israel's internal security service.

Lawsuit alleges negligence and a failure to act on warnings of a potential security threat.

Several victims have already decided to publicly comment that the Israeli army fired at them out of control. A police investigation also confirmed that many of the October 7 victims were killed by the IDF.

Who killed the civilians @MichealMartinTD??

[Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD]

Very good to meet with Palestinian Authority PM @DrShtayyeh in Ramallah. I expressed my sympathy to the Palestinian people over civilian deaths in Gaza

We discussed the role the international community must play in the path to peace & Ireland’s support for the two State solution

It is now 24 hours since Israel invaded al-Shifa hospital.  No sprawling Hamas command-and-control center.  No arms caches in the tunnels.  No secret passageways.  No nothing except: DEAD BABIES IN INCUBATORS WITHOUT FUEL.
