She was taken hostage by Palestinians 55 years ago. Now she’s an anti-Zionist activist. Catherine Hodes was taken hostage by the PFLP at age 13 while traveling from Israel to the U.S. The experience sparked a lifelong commitment to Palestinian liberation.

"I think of Gaza as a hostage situation."

"When you compare what happened to me to what Israel does in terms of their policies towards Palestinians, you tell me who's the real aggressor, who's the real hostage taker."

Over 300 Palestinian-Bedouin face forced evictions following mass home demolitions in Negev/Naqab The Israeli authorities’ demolition on 8 May 2024 of 47 homes in Wadi al-Khalil, an unrecognized Palestinian/Bedouin village in the Negev/Naqab, without proper consultation or compensation underscores the urgency to dismantle Israel’s apartheid system, said Amnesty International today. The demolition orders against the Abu Assa neighbourhood in Wadi al-Khalil were issued by Israeli planning authorities […]

Liberal Zionist myth #728: Israeli settlement and ethnic cleansing only happens in territories occupied after 1967 and does not happen within 1948 borders.

Why Hamas Agreed to Release the Hostages And why it might not matter much for Gaza’s future, or for Palestinian statehood.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Evictions include people with disabilities and children - 13 of the children go to one local school, and their families will have to move outside the catchment area as there is so little available to rent in Killarney. There's a petition to prevent it here: www.change.org/p/prevent-a-...

The US Media Ignores Palestinian Deaths in Israeli Captivity While the fates of Israelis held captive by Hamas regularly make front-page news, US corporate media almost never reports on the Palestinians who die in Israeli captivity.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

I say thanks! Ye are doing great work and people like Boyne and Rowling and the rest of them have lost their humanity. I'm sure it's hard to ignore them, but a lot more people see the world the way ye do. Solidarity from Vienna :-)

B’ambasadóir é Manchán dár nglúin féin agus duine a bhí lárnach san athbheochán a tharla ar na mallaibh sa chultúr agus sa Ghaeilge. Sheas sé i lár an aonaigh agus thiocfadh a rá nár chuir sé é féin ansin ach gur chuir an pobal ann é.

Ina bhealach séimh féin, chuir sé i gcuimhne dúinn fán ról atá ag an teanga maidir le tuiscint níos doimhne a fháil ar an cheantar thart orainn agus orainn féin.

Mairfidh a oidhreacht i meon fiosrach spreagúil na nGael agus iontu siúd a théann sa tóir ar shaol níos doimhne agus fíoraithe.

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

Perhaps unwillingly, he was the foremost cultural ambassador for our generation and instrumental in the resurgence of Irish language and culture.

He gently reminded us of the role the language has in understanding our surroundings, and knowing ourselves.

His legacy will live on in the curious minds of the Irish and beyond, in those who seek a deeper and more fulfilling life.

Hi Karen, I was going through my e-to do list and saw your letter about John Boyne in the IT. At the time I meant to write to you in support, but I forgot :-/. Your letter was incredible, and I just wanted to reach out and say fair play to you. Beir Bua :-)

The only possible good that could come out of this whole fiasco is if the media stop treating these clowns as modern day oracles speaking truth to power. But they won't.

I'm not going to point out to you the answer in this thread that gives you the literal answer to your question. Suffice to say, it is not the 'British' Isles.

And it's not a great look to be getting into a pissing contest about who has more followers, posh Nigel!
