Today's prompt for #IrishBookADay is 'Share an Irish Language Book'. I've chosen the upcoming third of Hector Ó hEochagáin's trilogy. The first two gave us the words, this one puts them into every day conversations.

Speaking from her hospital bed, American Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s suggestion that settlers were trying to help her up “such a lie and the biggest insult,” explaining: “They were actually trying to rob me further.”

It’s reported today that Sally Rooney, who many believe is one of the best authors of her generation, has been advised that because she has expressed support for Palestine Action she could be arrested if she comes to the UK. Because she is donating some of the money from the sale of her books to Palestine Action her publishers have been advised that they too could be prosecuted if they sell her books in any form and so they have removed them from the bookshelves and other outlets. I do not want anyone in the UK to miss out on her wonderful writing and so I thought I would read the first paragraphs of her terrific book “Normal People.” I hope others will read further sections of the book so that people do not lose out on the joy of reading h her works.

More proof of the complete absurdity of the proscription of Palestine Action.
What a stain on this government that people in this country are unable to buy and enjoy the work of one of this generation’s greatest writing talents.
De-proscribe Palestine Action now.

Irish author cannot sell her books in UK as royalties would be paid to someone who supports Palestine Action. Publisher says it could lay them open to prosecution bit.ly/47V3nRa so we now have to travel abroad to buy them. Will customs search people at the border? Still on Amazon but when they're gone they're gone.

Apparently Sally Rooney is Antisemitic because she opposes genocide.
People in Ireland are Antisemitic because they oppose genocide.
This is why Andy Burnhams comments yesterday were so deeply irresponsible - blurring all the lines between being Jewish & criticising Israel.

I don't care if you like Sally Rooney's books or not. This is about the UK effectively banning an author's work because she is vocal in her support for the Palestinian people. I don't care whether you personally like her. Nor should you. It's about censorship. It's unhinged.

You can buy books from Ian Brady, Charles Bronson, and the Kray twins in the UK, but you can't buy books from Sally Rooney because she opposes Israel's genocide.
She should've done something respectable like serial killing and her books would be fine.

It was a privilege to facilitate the Wave of Light Walk tonight in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time. 🕯️✨
A wonderful gesture by our U14 Camogs and Minor hurlers for joining in for a few laps to show their support.

BREAKING: The United States has formally SANCTIONED the International Criminal Court this morning.
Put bluntly, this is being done for the sake of Israel and to protect the Trump Administration from accountability for their war crimes in the Iran War.
This is outrageous.
