But supporting a state committing genocide would be ok?
Sally is on the right side. Murder and ethnic cleansing of innocent people cannot be condoned.
Faber has confirmed it will stop supplying Sally Rooney's books in the UK, saying it cannot pay the Irish author royalties because of her pledge to support the banned group Palestine Action

One year ago, a ceasefire was announced in Gaza. Today, Israel continues to:
⚫ Kill Palestinians and destroy civilian infrastructure
⚫ Restrict aid and cut essential services
⚫ Force people into an ever-shrinking space
This is not a ceasefire, this is a genocide.

Congratulations Justice Pillay!
The committee in granting her the Nobel peace prize: “An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world.”
May this justice start in Palestine
A worthwhile read.
The fact that Israel blocks the deliveries of footballs to Gaza says everything about its intent. And it's cruel inhumanity.

"Bazunu has been left brutally isolated, any semblance of squad unity has been utterly sundered, the head coach looks bewildered, matchgoing fans are already voicing their disgust, and the FAI has been humiliated before the watching world."
Worst performance imaginable from FAI
Big read here on an abject, rancorous, extraordinary day. The potential scale of fallout to come is the stuff of Saipan 2.0
Ireland v Israel: Day of Infamy exposes serious lack of leadership in FAI

The elections committee in the "world's greatest democracy" has voted to bar all parties of one ethnicity.
Can't get more racist than that.
It's impossible to make peace with Trump. Because for him, war or peace are equally inconsequential.

Fair play to Gavin Bazunu. Taking a stand against genocide.
What a pity the FAI wouldn't show the same moral courage.
Disgraceful that Gavin Bazunu is not getting the full support of @FAIreland for his conscientious, principled decision. And equally disgraceful that the FAI are pushing ahead with a game against a nation committing genocide.

Brian Kerr saying that he has been in touch with Gavin Bazunu this evening and "he's feeling quite low and shunned by some of the players and by the FAI and it's been suggested to him that it'd be better if he left the squad."
An absolute disgrace. Stand with Gavin Bazunu.
There's still time to #StopTheGame!
There's real disgust across Ireland about lining out against a country committing genocide. Palestinians deserve our support. And @FAIreland's support.
Don't play with genocide.
Dozens of pubs in Ireland and around the world are pledging not to show the Ireland vs genocidal Israel UEFA Nations League matches.

This is low from the Taoiseach. Recognising the claims of some who play by the rules & vilifying others who do the same.
Using a spurious claim about a small cohort of people that his government continue to mistreat to justify a harsh, unnecessary change

Big talk about support for Ukraine - while what they really mean is making the suppliers of the tools of war even richer. And at the same time the Irish government is making Ukrainian people in Ireland homeless and destitute.
"The guy we're welcoming to Ireland is such a threat to everyone's security that we have to close a large section of the city to the public for two days".

IPSC submits Communication to ICC concerning alleged criminal responsibility of Ireland's Central Bank Governor, as there is reasonable basis to believe he may have contributed to, or otherwise aided and abetted, the genocide by the State of Israel ipsc.ie/press-releases/ipsci…
Visa refused to people from Gaza who want to study here. Meanwhile, travelers from Israel, like the ones playing ultimate frisbee in UL this week, continue to enjoy visa-free travel to Ireland even though it is waging a genocide in Gaza.

Decisions to deny visas to Gaza students are procedurally and legally flawed. Unreasonable demands being imposed regarding documentation. And an astonishing list of bogus reasons given for the refusals.
irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…
Looking at the visa refusal letters sent to students in Gaza, its hard to understand how @DeptJusticeIRL can say there has been no recent change to visa processing procedures, approval criteria or documentation requirements.

It's equally difficult to understand why @DeptJusticeIRL ask for original documents in appeals when they know its impossible to get those out of Gaza.
