Details of the Stop Killing Journalists protest in Dublin this evening.

Please join NUJ members to protest Israel’s ongoing slaughter of media workers and civilians.

"No you cant join me in opposing genocide unless you apologise to me and tell me I was right" is actually an insane attitude to take towards people late to your point of view, I'm sorry

Netanyahu’s Gaza City outrage fulfils his messianic fantasy of a Greater Israel. The world must stop him | Nimer Sultany This outrageous landgrab is ethnic cleansing in plain sight, says Nimer Sultany of Soas University of London, a Palestinian citizen of Israel

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

You can't choose where you're born, but you can choose to not take part in genocide. These teens burned their IOF draft papers in Tel Aviv. Many have already spent months in jail but continue to speak up for Palestinians.

Rightwingers warn of another blaze of summer riots in Britain – but they’re the ones striking the match | John Harris Grim predictions of ‘societal collapse’ and ‘civil war’ will hit home so long as Labour fails to address the country’s problems, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Lots of people are saying that today marks the largest mass arrest in Britain.
Not quite. Back on 17 Sept 1961, my mum helped organise this demo where over 1000 were arrested for sitting down in Trafalgar Square.
If we don’t want today’s resistance to be forgotten, let’s not forget yesterday’s.

Remembering Tony Wilson, who died #OTD 2007.

Britain’s social fabric has been torn but it’s just easie... The real causes of serious problems are ignored and those responsible are let off the hook

During a live broadcast of Big Brother in Israel, members of Standing Together rush the stage wearing “Leave Gaza” shirts and calling for an end to the genocide and against Netanyahu’s plan for permanent occupation.

Some of the nastiest racists in Ireland have newspaper columns, print and broadcast media regularly platform and both-sides. I'm glad Paul is calling out that it isn't just the frothing lunatics that are responsible for what's happening but the media's role is a missing piece

If you want to see some normalization of racism in public discourse, check articles about the State deporting people and if they are accompanied by a photo of the Minister for Justice, and check media articles about attacks on people from India and others and if smiling Jim is there.

Fair point, but two things can be true at the same time. And you are right to point that out.

Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Amad Diallo raise Palestine flag after Premier League draw with Fulham If my players think about other things than football, thats a positive thing and I think weve seen that with some of the players before that they do care about, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after two of ...

This from 2021: only worth noting because Solskjaer's Besiktas also protested about Gaza last night in Dublin

The swelling of shame over Gaza Netanyahu’s security cabinet has voted to escalate a war that experts increasingly agree is genocidal. Where is the action to stop it?

"People don’t stop to think of the fact that every number was a human being ... Because surely, if they did, governments like ours would have done everything in their power to have stopped this war by now."

Israel's endgame is clear: the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of its population. It is not an immediate goal, and Israel uses different levels of violence depending on the situation. And yet the physical destruction of the Strip leaves no other outcome.

Rep Claudia Tenney, recipient of tens of thousands in AIPAC money; who says the West Bank should be renamed “Judea and Samaria” and declared part of Israel; who welcomed sanctioned extremist Itamar Ben Gvir to Washington, is the leader of a group of less than 20 people to sign this letter.

‘They slaughtered us like animals’: the inside story of how one of the biggest atrocities of the Sudan war unfolded in Zamzam As the UK prepared to host a global summit on bringing peace to Sudan, the RSF paramilitary began a ‘genocidal’ massacre in Zamzam refugee camp. But when reports emerged of the killings, London held i...

We knew at the time that a deeply deeply horrific assault had occurred, but just absolutely shaken by this report detailing the massacre at Zamzam in April 2025. Genocide. Utterly shaken.

David Renton on 1930's fascism and anti fascism

A researcher for a 1930s street directory knocked on the Hulme front door of Matt Busby, then a Man City player, and asked his occupation. It appeared in the directory, due to his Lanarkshire accent, as 'fruit broiler'. (h/t Andy Spinoza, 'Manchester Unspun').

There are more Christian Zionists in the US than there are Jews in the entire world, and polls consistently show that they hold, on average, more right-wing views on Israel-Palestine than do American Jews. But no one is spray-painting "Stop the genocide" on a megachurch in Omaha.

Happening again. Gloating over a racist attack on a six year old kid. Posting further racist abuse directed at a child. Deeply abnormal people

Heartbreaking testimony from on the ground in Gaza from Anas, still carrying the spark of mutual aid in a desperate situation
