2026 marks the 24th anniversary of the imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti. I wore this replica jersey of the 2002 Palestine kit to Croke Park - a place deeply tied to the Irish fight for independence - to call for his freedom. Free Palestine & Free Marwan. @FreeMarwanNow

Palestine Football Association Statement The Palestine Football Association (PFA) has taken note of recent media reports regarding an alleged planned match between Palestine and Israel U-15 national teams. We state clearly and unequivocally that the PFA has not received any official communication or proposal from FIFA regarding such a match. FIFA has also confirmed to us that no such match has been announced or organized, and that these reports are inaccurate. Our position is firm and unchanged. Under the current circumstances, the PFA categorically rejects any attempt to promote or impose matches with an occupying power that systematically targets Palestinian athletes and sports infrastructure. We refuse to be part of any initiative that serves as sportswashing while Palestinian players continue to face daily violations. Over the past three years alone, more than 1,000 Palestinian athletes have been killed including Sulaiman Al-Obaid the former national team captain and Nagham Abu Samra the karate champion.This reality cannot be ignored or separated from any discussion about football activities involving Palestine. For the PFA, the priority is clear: justice, accountability, and the protection of Palestinian athletes in line with FIFA statutes and the principles of the Olympic Charter. We continue to call for Israel to be held accountable for its violations of international sporting regulations. Football cannot exist in isolation from the reality on the ground. Our focus remains on defending our players, our game, and our fundamental rights. We urge all media outlets to rely on verified and official sources and to refrain from spreading misleading information. For further inquiries or information, please contact: Dima Said Official Spokesperson Palestinian Football Federation +970598105852 [email protected].

The woman in this video is Caitriona Graham an Irish citizen. Kidnapped in international waters, abused, beaten, put in stress position by Israel. A rogue state that Ireland sent €20m in dual use tech to in 2024 alone. @MichealMartinTD grow a spine.

Remember Hind Rajab. Just 6 years old. She sat for hours on the phone to paramedics with 6 murdered family members around her. She told them “They are shooting at us. The tank is next to me.” The Red Cross waited hours for Israel to permit them rescue her. When the ambulance that was cleared to rescue arrived they executed the medics and then murdered her putting 355 bullets into the car she was in. Her final words to paramedics and recorded were "I’m so scared, please come".

Today Israel bombed a school turned shelter in Gaza as a wedding was being held. An IOF tank fired on the building with 6 people murdered and dozens injured. Israeli forces then prevented ambulance and civil defence crews from reaching the injured, children amongst them. There is no ceasefire. There is no peace. Just brutal colonial oppression. FREE PALESTINE TAKE ACTION

🚨A heartbreaking catastrophe is unfolding in Gaza right now. For the third winter in a row, families are living in tents that are collapsing under heavy rain. Children sleep soaked and shivering, while the world assumes the war is “over” simply because the sound of bombing has faded. But on the ground, nothing has ended only the suffering keeps rising.

Donations to the @sameerproject are down 50% since the "ceasefire" but the need remains as high as ever, with the criminal blockade still intact. Now is the time to redouble our efforts and donations so Palestinians can rebuild what the genocidal entity has destroyed. Give!
Send some love to our team who are doing the back breaking work of cleaning up Gaza with nothing more than shovels and brooms. chuffed.org/project/149178-s…. Every day they are going to destroyed buildings and clearing dust and rubble with their bare hands so that families can move back in before the winter months. The occupation has only allowed in a total of 115 “fuel and energy trucks” (meaning diesel, cooking gas, and gasoline), a fraction of the 1,100 trucks that were promised to be allowed in during this period of time post “ceasefire.” These items are an integral part of the clean up as they allow the operation of trucks and tractors that can be used to remove the rubble. By only allowing in 10% of the agreed upon amount they are deliberately obstructing the cleaning out and cleaning up process. Join our “Yalla, Na’merha” initiative under our Return Home Campaign to help the Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project teams help make buildings habitable and allow families to move back home. We need donations to cover labor, fuel for tractors, tarps to repair the walls of buildings, transportation fees to relocate people North, and more. The link for the Return Home Campaign. Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Return") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Return")

Pure evil .
Israel has dropped about 200,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since Oct 7, equivalent to nearly 13 Hiroshima bombs.

Apartheid Israel is about to attack the Global Sumud Flotilla. In international waters. A civil society solidarity mission bringing aid to the Palestinian people who are being starved by Israel. Another crime. The people on the Flotilla must not be harmed

A child cries while carrying his younger sister on his shoulders, walking along the long displacement route from northern Gaza to the south... a scene that captures the suffering of innocent children under the horrors of war.

In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel. They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.

Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'. Since then, @thiagoavilabr has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family. According to Lara, Israeli authorities threatened Thiago with the psychological torment of isolation without light or ventilation. Despite this, Thiago remains on hunger strike, holding firm to his belief in justice for Palestinians and the right of every child to food, safety, and freedom. From his prison cell, he wrote a letter to his 1-year-old daughter. Lara generously shares that with us today. This is a call not just for Thiago’s release—but for the world to pay attention to #Gaza, to Palestine, and to all people who are exploited, forced to live under occupation. #FreedomFlotilla #Madleen #Thiago #IOF #WeWillSail #BreakIsraelsSiege #EndTheBlockade

Full support to the crew of the Madleen, who've been kidnapped by Israeli lying, war criminals in international waters. Every action to help the heroes of Gaza who are withstanding genocide & starvation will be remembered in history. #BreakTheSiege

BREAKING: Press statement by Gaza Freedom Flotilla: "We have just received confirmation that all 12 volunteers from the ‘Madleen’ are currently at Ashdod Port. They are being processed and transferred into the custody of Israeli authorities. They are expected to be moved to the Ramleh detention facility unless they agree to leave immediately, in which case they may be permitted to fly out of Tel Aviv as early as tonight. We continue to demand the immediate release of all volunteers and the return of the stolen aid. Their detention is unlawful and a violation of international law." #BreakTheSiege #FreePalestine #AllEyesOnMadleen #EndTheBlockade

"More than 250 Palestinians in #Gaza have been reported killed in the last two days alone. These are lives. These are human beings. They cannot just be reduced to numbers. Atrocities are becoming a new norm, under our watch, making the unbearable bearable with indifference. Is this our new “humanity”? Like Omar El Akkad says: “One day..., everyone will have always been against this”. That day will however be too late and will stain our consciousness for generations to come.” — @UNLazzarini

A farewell kiss on her tiny foot... a father bids goodbye to his daughter, martyred while wearing the only clothes she likely owned — the same ones she wore when she struggled to fetch water, carrying it with frail hands and a heart worn down by displacement long before war took her life. قبلة الوداع على قدمها الصغيرة... الأب يُودّع طفلته التي ارتقت شه يدةً وهي ترتدي ذات الملابس التي ربما لم تملك سواها، تلك التي كانت تذهب بها لجلب الماء بصعوبة، تحمله بيدين ناحلتين وقلبٍ أنهكه النزوح قبل أن تقتله الحرب،
