Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame
The world must stop treating the word “ceasefire” as a guarantee of safety when Gaza’s residents remain under fire, under siege, and under conditions that guarantee more suffering and heartbreak.

It is incredibly funny watching the EBU crash Eurovision into the ground in order to accommodate Israel.

En*ch B*rke in jail. En*ch B*rke hiding in his mam’s house. En*ch B*rke out of jail. There’s plenty of news out there, lads, you shouldn’t be stuck for a something to write. Sick of seeing this non-story @irishexaminer

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

new press release from msf (doctors without borders) on israeli-us food distribution: scheme is “slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid.”
saying “with over 500 people killed and nearly 4,000 wounded while seeking food” it should be “immediately dismantled.”

From the heartbreakingly beautiful testimonial writings of Gaza’s Dr Ezzideen
There is no internet.
No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage.
I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.”

Absolutely furious about this. These were so very obviously peaceful protesters, so, even if you have to arrest them to clear the area, a cavity search can only be meant to intimidate.
This should count as an assault by whoever gave the order for it.

Somewhere along the way while setting up this account last year, I unwittingly and stupidly ticked some obscure box labelled ‘cats’ or something. Now my feed is full of Marmalade or Mr Floofy’s latest escapades live from Oxfordshire. I can’t decide if it’s annoying or not.

It’s mid January and we still have: 2 tins of Quality Street, 1 tin of Heroes and some rogue Milk Tray. A historic first.

Amazing thread.
My head hurts reading the Israeli interpretations of Irish history. It’s disturbing to see so much pseudohistory deployed in order to [as our president noted] declare everyone Irish, everywhere, ‘antisemitic’.

I’m doing it. Watching Die Hard for the first time ever. Am I supposed to like Hans Gruber?

We’re a week into Ireland’s #GE24 campaign and there’s lots of talk of not only who will top the poll, but what small parties or independents will be asked to ‘make up the numbers’ and form a coalition government.
