Join us on Thursday for a super panel on ending Ireland's complicity in apartheid Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. Hear about boycott, sanctions and militarism. Teacher’s Club, be there. #FreePalestine #BDS
Powerful discussion last night with @sallyhayd.bsky.social @seanmacr.bsky.social at @maynoothuniversity.ie Her insights into reporting on conflict, human rights, & displacement offered a stark reminder of realities behind headlines & the responsibility of journalism to tell these stories with care.
This evening, my brilliant friend @sallyhayd.bsky.social spoke at @maynoothuniversity.ie about her recent reporting from Lebanon & beyond. We were moved by her insightful & powerful account of recent events. I was also fortunate to receive a copy of her forthcoming book: This is also a Love Story.

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 6mo agoTrump on girls’ school “The Tomahawk missile that destroyed it could have been anyone’s. A Tomahawk is very generic.” Tomahawks are manufactured by RTX in Phoenix, Arizona. The US sells them to exactly 4 countries: the UK, Australia, Japan & the Netherlands None of them are at war with Iran #cdnpoli

"death and destruction all day long"... the decadence and depravity of a dying empire
big day for law on the use of force discourse and the most circular of logics: US imperialist aggression was actually US pre-emptive self-defence against imminent Iranian self-defence in response to planned Israeli aggression which US fully supported in the first place
In Your hungering after more riches and land You make us suspect force us to justify our existence
