It looks like Colston was among those abducted by Israel yesterday. Ordinary people are capable of such bravery. I don’t know what to say

I don’t know Alex Colston well, but he was my editor on my article last summer on Palestine and apocalypticism. He’s one of the courageous people on the flotilla, reporting for Drop Site.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Piece in the Times today about the how Freeman of the Land types have taken over the IRB, and it's full of delicious nuggets like them operating under their own timezone: Irish Rising Time

The new IRB: a band of conspiracy theorists who have set up a parallel Irish ‘government’
This fringe group, drawn from the ranks of anti-lockdown protesters and business people laid low by the crash, have a cabinet, local co-ops and even a network of ‘courts’

This version of the IRB is now in the process of establishing a shadow government to run in parallel with what it calls the “corporate government” in Leinster House. It has a cabinet of ministers (which it calls secretaries), a nascent court system and a network of local government bodies. It has also adopted a new time zone, called Irish Rising Time, which is 25 minutes slower and based on the time zone used in Dublin until the 1916 rising.
