Thursday Day 4
Big day today with our first full stage show as Gaeilge in Belmullet. Brilliant co- conspirators Áine Ní Ghlinn, Chris Haughton and Myra Zepf alongside me. Who knew that Chis Haughton spoke Irish?
Meanwhile Jane Mitchell was next door doing a writing workshop!

#InternationalWomensDay, and every day, we pay tribute to our courageous, resilient Palestinian sisters. We mourn the Palestinian women killed by apartheid Israel, almost 9,000 of them in Gaza since October 7th. We send our solidarity to those imprisoned in Israel’s dungeons

In a powerful display of solidarity and compassion, a 'CEASEFIRE NOW' banner has been raised on the iconic Liberty Hall in Dublin. @SIPTU

Zionist orgs like JewBelong & others that support the Israeli government’s propaganda, work to dehumanize Palestinians and justify the Israeli government's attacks on Palestinians. We know the truth, and we know that the ongoing genocide of Palestinians can never be justified.
Jane Mitchell retweeted
We’re deeply disturbed by reports of the Israeli military carrying out field executions of Palestinians as well as horrific images of Palestinians, including children, detained under atrocious conditions in Al-Yarmouk Stadium.
This is day 80 of the Israeli government’s genocide

The catastrophe in Gaza is worsening unimaginably by the minute. For 80 days, Israel has prevented the entry of vital supplies – fuel, food, water and medicine – into Gaza. It is intentionally leaving people starved and without water. >

#Gaza: After yesterday’s bombings of Al-Maghazi & Al-Bureij refugee camps, Al-Aqsa hospital reports having admitted 209 injured and 131 dead, so far. Around half were women & children. MSF doctors & staff are providing trauma wound care for the variety of war-related injuries...

After more than 2 months of the war, Israel’s indiscriminate strikes on Gaza have turned the north of the Strip into a pile of rubble.
In Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, south Gaza, the dead and wounded continue to arrive almost every day...
Nowhere is safe...
