The refusal to award visas to Palestinian students over their not being able to provide documentation such as bank statements, is nothing short of outrageous. These students and their families are being treated with a staggering lack of compassion by the Irish state. Where has our humanity gone?
Well done Phoenix Law Firm, the denial of visas to these students in Gaza is an absolute disgrace by the Minister for Justice. #LetThemStudy Minister faces potential High Court action over visa refusals for Gaza scholarship students www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

At a recent gathering, there were calls for progress on returning African relics held at the National Museum of Ireland. Most are weapons, taken as souvenirs of colonial wars, said Olusegun Morakinyo, Africologist and former visiting scholar at the TCD.

British surgeon Nick Maynard, who has just returned from volunteering in Gaza, explains to #GMB viewers how Israel confiscates all baby formula that doctors like him try to take with them. Why does Israel do this? Because they want to starve Palestinian babies to death.
Gaza is now single deadliest conflict for journalists in history. This is not only an attempt to extinguish a whole people, it is also an attempt to extinguish the story of their genocide. “One day, everyone will have always been against this.” - Egyptian-Canadian writer, Omar El Akkad. #Gaza
🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵
Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.
I have nothing but bafflement at how English politicans and English media can talk as if terror flags, hate directed against ethnic groups and yes, death threats to politicians, under the guise of state and establishment condoned culture, isn’t just what in Northern Ireland is known as ‘Summer’.

I still think the stressfulness of Zoom direct messaging is an evil genius UI design feature that intentionally reproduces the anxiety of whispering to someone during an in-person meeting
