Catherine Connolly TD at our protest at the Central Bank today. As apartheid Israel starves and bombs the Palestinians in Gaza, it is disgraceful that an institution of our state is helping to raise funds for its genocidal military. The Central Bank must #StopFundingGenocide

Please write a personal email to your local councillors, TD’s and MEP’s demanding they enact the Occupied Territories Bill. Why not try to encourage 2 friends or family members to get involved? contactyourtd.ie

Thomas Byrne (min for state) answering in #Gaza Dáil debate: “we are doing huge amount… I’m proud of the work”. Ireland - has €3.2bn trade with Israel. 2nd highest in world. - allows Shannon & our airspace be used by genocide enablers. - is delaying & diluting the OTB. Shame

"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb." – Dr.

💥"You saw a very small hole in their necks, but doing the CT scan you could understand that their laryngus, their groin, their spine had been dissolved... » Christos Georgalas, a celebrated head and neck surgeon, is one of the few Greek doctors who have volunteered in Gaza in

It’s not easy for me to write this, but my community Masafer Yatta will be destroyed unless more activists and journalists don’t urgently come and join us on the ground. Settlers are now in Khalet Al-Dabia village 24/7 after the army destroyed it.

To the 100s of journalists who follow me here: Masafer Yatta is being ethnically cleansed by the army, we’re organizing an urgent visit on the ground for international media, please write directly for the date and time

📍 #WestBank: On Saturday, the last remaining 30 Palestinian families of the Bedouin community of Maghayir al-Deir, East of Ramallah, were forced to flee their homes after months of intensifying state-backed settler violence.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

#Gaza: a war on children. In addition to heavy bombardments, starvation is threatening the future of the children in Gaza. What’s urgently needed is a political will to allow the UN and partners to provide assistance at scale without hindrance or interruption Allow us to do

In the UNRWA warehouse in Amman, just a three-hour drive from #Gaza, we have enough supplies to sustain over 200,000 people for an entire month. Flour, food parcels, hygiene kits, blankets and medical supplies are ready to be delivered. Gaza needs aid at scale - an unhindered,

Every doctor - whether white or brown, European or North American - who goes to Gaza comes back and says they watched kids being targeted and witnessed a genocide But, no, don’t believe them, believe Netanyahu, Eylon Levy, John Spencer, John Fetterman, and the IDF. Yeah, sure.

My father Stephen Lewis is spectacularly uninterested in social media, so I’m posting this myself (though he has read it and is prepared to suffer the indignity of all I'm about to reveal). When he was Canada’s ambassador to the UN from 1984-88, Dad was truly shocked by the

“Gaza is the hungriest place on earth. And the aid operation that we have ready to roll is being put in an operational straightjacket.” UN Humanitarian spokesperson says the trickle of aid being allowed into Gaza isn’t enough given the catastrophic levels of hunger people face.

In a few short months, this government has already gone backwards on housing policy — Defunding the hugely successful tenant-in-situ scheme. 🤯 Reviving speculator-profiting zombie SHDs. 🧟 Make yourself heard & join the cross-organisation demo, Saturday, 21 June in Cork. 👏👏

Last night, the order came again; cold, mechanical, without voice or face. The Israeli army demanded that we leave our homes in northern Gaza. It was not a request. It was not advice. It was a verdict passed by those who will never hear the sentence echo. We stayed. Not out of
