"..since 1967, Israel has imprisoned over 800,000 Palestinian men and women from the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip, which accounts for about 20 per cent of the total population and about 40 per cent of all Palestinian men.” @sallyhayd.bsky.social

In these times of misinformation & downright lies that fill our social media feeds, it does my heart good to see the exceptional & brave journalism of @sallyhayd.bsky.social recognised in this way. And typically she uses this to highlight the local journalists in areas of crisis who face such risks.

Leaving Gaza for Ireland: My soul is there. My memories are there. My cat is there Dr Mohammed Abu Mughessib, who has lived in Gaza for 25 years, has been accepted for an MSF advisory job based in Ireland

My brief 18 months as an International Aid worker taught me many things, including immense respect for those who commit their lives to organisations such as MSF. This by @patrickfreyne.bsky.social is powerful article of the type of brave people who do so. 🙏

How about a minute's silence for Daniel Aruebose instead ? Or all the children in Gaza that Israel have murdered since the Dáil last sat ? Neither of those would suit your agenda you spineless gowls.
