Today is the 10 year anniversary of Israel's murder of the 4 Bakr boys, cousins Ahed (9), Zakaria (10), Mohammed (11) & Ismail Bakr (9) as they played football on a beach in Gaza City. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha. #stopthegame @FAIreland

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.

Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."

Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.

The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

On every single street in San Sebastián are Palestine flags.

A thriving city, full of tourists, unafraid to demonstrate solidarity & humanity.

Meanwhile in Dublin City centre you struggle to see any despite huge public support...with US flags aplenty.

We need many more 🇵🇸

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

@liamcunningham1 And we thought things were bad back then. Heartbreaking.

[IPSC @ipsc48]

Well said Brian Kerr, always standing with Palestine. The FAI cannot shirk its responsibilities by moving the game, it has to boycott both Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. #StopTheGame

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

After almost 3 years, this is what our government thinks is appropriate.
The smell of cowardice is nauseating.
These gombeen men do not represent the wishes of the Irish people. The very definition of lickspittles.

A nationwide general strike was organized in more than 75 cities across Italy, demanding a complete boycott of Israel and the severance of all ties.

[IPSC @ipsc48]

Excellent from Conan Byrne on Virgin TV, the game against apartheid Israel should not go ahead, if the FAI wants to move it, they should refuse to play it. The only decent discussion about Palestine in Irish media is in sport. #StopTheGame

This is Khalifa from Gaza, he came to Ireland twice, played football, met the President, charmed us all. He was a Palestine National Youth Team player. He was 20 when he was murdered by Israel, one of the 421 football players they killed. He is why the FAI must not play Israel.

[David Sneyd @DavidSneyd]

FAI's General Assembly preparing motion to boycott Israel games.

In a letter seen by The 42, members are asked to compel the governing body to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting.
