Please, tell me again how there's no evidence of Israeli human rights abuses, how killing patients in their beds is legitimate self defence, how mass graves will make Israel safer, how the IDF is the most moral army in the world, how questions about war crimes are antisemitic.

The border between the EU and the rest of the world is so closed that 3,000 people died trying to sneak across it last year. Over 20 times the number of people killed crossing the Berlin Wall in the 28 years it existed. The border with the 6 counties is Open(ish) - is it that?

OTD in 1916, Dr. Kathleen Lynn and fellow Irish revolutionaries fought in the Easter Rising. In THE PULL OF THE STARS, we glimpse into Dr Lynn's life beyond those tumultuous days, and pay tribute to the incredible women of that time in Ireland.

All these blue-tick “free speech absolutists” raging against “cancel culture” calling on the US armed forces to storm college campuses and arrest 18-21 year old student protesters is rather revealing.

#OTD 1916 members of the Irish Volunteers & Irish Citizen Army mustered at several locations in central Dublin for the planned Easter Rising. Patrick Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Republic from the GPO, which became their HQ. dib.ie/biography/pear… #DIBLives
