We, citizens of Israel, working in Israeli academic institutions, share civil responsibility for the horrendous acts done in our name at the Gaza Strip, in particular the contempt for human lives, the policy of starvation and the demolition of Gazan cities. We call upon all those

An Israeli settler just shot Odeh Hadalin in the lungs, a remarkable activist who helped us film No Other Land in Masafer Yatta. Residents identified Yinon Levi, sanctioned by the EU and US, as the shooter. This is him in the video firing like crazy.

nwl Of course, they can't board without documentation. So, how do they arrive without documentation? And, why would someone who has documentation which identifies them want to destroy it? The only explanation is that it would prove that they have no right to claim asylum.

🇵🇸 🇺🇳 “What is the alternative? A one State reality where Palestinians are denied equal rights and forced to live under perpetual occupation and inequality or a one State reality where Palestinians are expelled from their land. That is not peace. That is not justice. That is not

The Irish government’s line about the trade negotiations resulting in ‘predictability’ is a celebration that the negotiations are over. You could have the same line if you walked away with 100% tariffs. They won nothing - got absolutely rinsed by EU & Trump.

‘Omer Bartov, a leading historian of the Holocaust and a veteran of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, said that it was a “misnomer” to call Israel’s operation in Gaza a “war”; instead, he writes of “genocide”’ newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

EVEN ISRAEL’S OWN HUMAN RIGHTS ORG FINALLY ADMITS IT: GENOCIDE. After 2 years of bloodshed, 60,000+ dead —they finally call it what it is. But the West still funds it. Media still downplays it. Politicians still deny it. How many more bodies until they admit the truth?

The EU’s demand ought to have been to match the US-UK deal with a tariff of 10% instead of 15%. EU has a much bigger market to offer US exporters. 15% - and with uncertainties about pharma - feels like a negotiating failure.

This is why they had to raise property taxes. DCC is paying ~€400million a year for homeless accommodation services. The majority of which now come straight from IPAS. Banty of course is leading the racket, he was paid €10m by DCC in first 3 months of 2025… this does not

BBC’s Jeremy Bowen: Israelis don’t want us to film outside the window at the devastation in Gaza…communities in the north of Gaza are flat, there’s nothing left…Israel will not allow reporters, like myself, to enter Gaza to report the story and they don’t want us to see it

Meanwhile, the British (including N Ireland) Food Standards Agency is asking consumers to return the recalled food items to the store for a full refund, something missing from the Irish Food Safety Authority which merely says "dispose of the food".

Telling councils to double zoned land won't guarantee delivery of new homes. And it certainly won't guarantee affordable housing. It will give huge uplift to landowners in value of land being zoned Why doesn't the State CPO land then zone it-ensuring affordable land costs

Spain’s air force explains why one of its pilots performed this sudden manoeuvre over a crowded beach at an air show at the weekend - it was to avoid what could have been a dangerous encounter with a flock of birds. The pilot acted “with exemplary speed and professionalism”

Daniel Mulhall The EU is always reminding us of the strength of the single market of 450 million consumers yet capitulates to a market of 320 million . Yes the US runs a trade deficit in manufactured goods but a massive surplus in services which is almost never mentioned..

EU Trade spokesman Olof Gill, a former aide to Mairead McGuinness, Frances Fitzgerald and Sean Kelly, tells Morning Ireland "The two presidents agreed...." - incorrectly inferring Ms Von der Leyen has a political mandate comparable to Trump's. She doesn't.
