To condemn unequivocally Hamas’s horrific acts of terrorism on October 7 and to condemn unequivocally the Israeli government’s horrific assaults on the people of Gaza is not “both-sidesing” the issue. It’s the consistent application of humanitarian principles.

The question was always this: How far must Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians proceed before our utterly justified collective guilt over the Holocaust (as Europeans) no longer prevents us from confronting Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

16k killed (7k kids),40k injured, 1.8ml IDPs, 60% civilian infrastructure gone. No food, water, medication. Just bombs dropping. In the face of all this, Congresspeople of the only country who can stop this, legislated that antizionism=antisemitism. Alternative reality, it is.

A ‘No’ vote in the Care Ref proves that the majority of people in Ireland care more about people with disabilities & carers than the Govt & most opposition parties sad to say. In fact they don’t seem to care at all. FG said we are invisible! Thank you Ireland from Jack & I. ❤️

#NationalCarersWeek Carers NEED (any/ some at least) practical support. We are really struggling. That looks like: • No means test for a measly carers allowance. • €350 for Carers Allowance (PUP) • Respite • Education & Summer provision • HEALTH & DISABILITY services

Rhasidat Adeleke’s achievements are all her own. Pride is hers to claim. I am, though, awed by her talent, and I delight in the success of an inspirational Irishwoman whose best years are yet to come. The nation is behind her. As are most of her rivals. 😉

Excited to share our paper published this week. Key takeaway: Aspirational guidelines are only motivational when they are perceived as achievable. To make timely palliative care accessible to patients with cancer,we need more than just aspirational guidelines. ASCO PallOnc Community of Practice
