I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”

Israel has dropped 200,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 20 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

Nothing about this emergency motion or the Irish citizens detained by Israeli forces on @news.rte.ie website.
Yet, plenty about Taylor Swift's new album and an upcoming documentary on Tony Cascarino.

ILLEGALLY seized in international waters.
This language is factually accurate and not in the least controversial.
Stop giving Israel a pass.

The Journal @thejournal.ie · 10d

At least eight Irish activists, including Sinn Féin senator Chris Andrews, were aboard a number of Gaza-bound flotilla vessels seized by Israeli forces last night

"Israel illegally detains humanitarians in international waters" is how this headline should start. "Stopped 13 boats" makes it sound like an innocuous garda checkpoint for road tax and insurance, particularly as 9 Irish citizens are among those detained. #speirgorm

Israeli forces have stopped 13 boats carrying foreign activists and aid bound for Gaza, but 30 boats are continuing to sail towards the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave, flotilla organisers said today
