I shit you not, this album features at least three of the best songs I've ever heard by an Irish band. Out 21st June

Belfast and Dublin heads, a gentle reminder that these are legit contenders for gigs of the year. Not to build it up too much or anything. But I am promoting the gigs so I have to do this. But there's also an innate knowledge at play. A conviction. See you there?

There you have it folks

The distance between each bombed WCK & the other shows beyond any doubt how the IDF took their time to deliberately & surgically eliminate the entire crew.

The 2nd car was bombed after it rescued the survivors of the 1st, & the 3rd after it rescued the survivors from the 2nd!

This is a war on civilians.

On doctors trying to save lives.

On aid workers trying to feed Palestinians.

On teachers trying to put a smile on the faces of children.

This is a war on humanity — and our government should never be forgiven for its contemptible complicity.

I have been working nonstop for the past 6 months covering what’s happening in Gaza, but what I saw today while visiting Al-Shifa hospital was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before :

Israeli occupation forces executed 300 Palestinians in and around the hospital, and this…

This has only been possible with a complicit media narrative and Western settler colonial nations that aid and abet with dehumanizing rhetoric and language rooted in anti-Palestinian racism. Blood is on our hands. Do something.

More bombs?!!

What the hell is going on here?!!!

I do not support this.

No life is worth more than another, we should have long since ceased diplomatic ties with Israel for the barbarism they’ve inflicted upon Gaza, but surely now, when an Irish Aid worker has been murdered by the IDF, we must now summon & expel their Ambassador to Ireland. Enough.

Breaking: The nationalities of the UN employees intentionally killed by Israel moments ago are Polish, Australian, Irish, and British.

Israel has evacuated El Shifa Hospital in Gaza this morning, leaving 400 bodies, some crushed by tanks, others buried alive in body bags, with burnt buildings and children under 13 executed.

This isn’t war. This is genocide.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
