Eric Cantona performs 'If I Must Die', the last poem by professor Refaat Alareer.

I'm pretty sure there were similar newspaper articles back in the day from Irish people in apartheid South Africa, saying it was a complicated situation, it was ignorant to villify South Africa, black people were dangerous etc.

But not in the middle of a genocide

Clocks up more air miles than most foreign ministers. There's plenty i agree with her on but I do wonder who funds all this? What is her role?

This is beyond disgusting.

Drag this demon to the Hague, along with the rest of the genocide enabling parasites.

And may the deaths of over 35,000 innocent Palestinian men, women, and children haunt the dreams of all who refused to utter a single word of outrage.

For shame.

My fear is that Israel is going to force women and children to leave Rafah, and then kill all the men

RTE falling for the far right ‘warrior mom’ tactic isn’t surprising. But it is deeply problematic.

'We assumed he had passed away and were wishing him well'

Bit of a joke to see Katie Hannon led up the garden path by Aoife in her audience, with no pushback on her claims, when we have this on video Upfront with Katie Hannon
