Hello everyone, meet Siraj, a 17 year old Palestinian boy. Today he messaged me so happy about the ceasefire! He still needs help though, he is in a family of 7! If you are able to help, even by sharing. This would be so appreciated!

Today’s podcast is on the fallout from a brutal attack by a random stranger - and a quirk of the legal system that leaves victims of the “guilty but insane” with no rights. Listen here:

Naoise's brother is asking Irish people to please contact the government #Speirgorm

My sister @NaoiseDolan, alongside other members of the Thousand Madleens flotilla, has been abducted by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to break the illegal siege and deliver aid to Gaza.
Please join me in urging the Irish government to demand their safe return.

Very overrated in my opinion. Never worth the big salary RTÉ were paying him, it appears his listenership figures weren’t great. Tubridy, Byrne, Duffy, Darcy - RTÉ offloading the high earners

I used to listen to the podcast but Joe’s become more and more obnoxious, ranting about everything and anything, talking across Dion, etc.
He thinks his opinion is the only correct one, and if you don’t agree with it’s because you’re too stupid, bigoted, etc. etc.

Hard to believe that Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich and etc have had a “ Damascus Road” conversion to treat Gazans and Palestinians as actual human beings with rights, and they’ll now abide by international law
