New series from @EmpirePodUK THE HISTORY OF GAZA

@byrne_padraig This is the norm in Gorey. i know many people in this situation.

Engineered starvation as part of the intentional destruction of a group as such. This is so familiar to other settler-colonial genocides; yet, this is the first settler-colonial genocide to land before an intl court. But even in this case justice will be served late. It is already late. We the People must stop this genocide.

We broke down the logic of Israel’s policy of starvation, its architecture, and aims, showing how engineered starvation (and its supposed mitigation) is used as a tool to break Palestinian society.

So all you cheerleaders for "the most moral army in the world" with your claims of "pinpoint accuracy." Take a look at what you enabled. This is the Genghis Khan model of warfare: total destruction, mass slaughter of civilians, complete eradication. Netanyahu says he has barely begun. Don't be on the wrong side of history. #NoToEthnicCleansing

"I'm furious. Furious that those with power shrug at the humanitarian nightmares unleashed on 1 mil. children. Furious that disease is as well-armed as the warring parties, but it gets no attention.” - @1james_elder for @UNICEF, with @DrMargaretH for @WHO, briefing on #Gaza

Travelling 1,000 kms, 35 tonnes of Irish Aid relief supplies arrive into West Darfur to support thousands of families displaced by conflict- explained here by Haman @Concern Emergency Programme Manager & Naeima our Monitoring & Evaluations Officer @Irish_Aid #WhateverItTakes

Some of the most powerful voices emerging amidst the horror of the past week have been some of the families of civilians killed & taken hostage. As the Israeli govt weaponises the deaths of their loved ones to commit massacres in #Gaza, they say 'not in our name'.

The language from Israeli Govt regarding its ongoing & planned atrocities in Gaza is deeply disturbing. There can be no equivocation; where civilians are targeted & killed it is a war crime. What happened in Israel last w’end was horrific but it cannot justify war crimes

Taoiseach says Israeli actions in Gaza 'not acceptable' Speaking to @MiriamOCal, Mr Varadkar said "Israel is under threat. They do have a right to defend themselves, but they don't have the right to breach international humanitarian law." READ: rte.ie/news/primetime… #rtept

The most impressive politician in the United Kingdom in the last week of horror and crisis in the Middle East has been, without exception, @HumzaYousaf. While @RishiSunak, @Keir_Starmer and especially the shameful @SuellaBraverman have all been grandstanding for political self-interest, and almost competing to egg on the Israeli right to commit genocidal havoc in Gaza, @HumzaYousaf, whose own mother-in-law is bravely, despairingly, running a clinic in Gaza, and personally having to decide how to save her patients ordered to evacuate the North of the city before Israel flattens it, Humza has been busy comforting and reassuring the Scottish Jewish community, as well as the Scottish Palestinian Muslims and Christians, and assuring them them all that they will be safe and welcome and protected in Scotland. I am not a Scottish nationalist, and never voted SNP. But I can't think of a time I've been prouder to be Scottish. Thank you Humza and hats off and your bravery, poise, calm, compassion and humanity.

First Minister @HumzaYousaf attended a service of prayer and solidarity last night with Scotland’s Jewish community. Expressing sorrow for those who lost loved ones, he said @scotgov stands in solidarity with all communities in Scotland suffering the loss of innocent life.

@hardestgeezer Scary stuff. Have you thought about how to deal with getting separated from the crew in future? Do you have a satellite phone or GPS locator on you while you run?

We said we wouldn't forget the people in Northwest #Syria affected by the earthquakes 6 months ago... and we haven't. @concern, partnering with @BonyanOrg, have been supporting hundreds of families in need of shelter as they prepare to rebuild their lives. ♥️💚

The sheer goodness of #SineadOConner captured here in a remarkable letter. 👏

@EmpirePodUK @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita Can we get an episode on the Maroons of Jamaica? These former slaves that managed to live free on the edge of slave colonies, and seem to have a Faustian pack with the British (putting down slave revolts etc). Can you recommend any histories of the Maroons?

Interesting analysis on the Wagner Group's rupture with Putin. "The termination of Prigozhin and Wagner is imminent. The only possibility now is absolute obliteration, with the degree of resistance from the Wagner group being the only variable."

Here are a few insights into the situation surrounding Prigozhin: 1️⃣ For a long time, Prigozhin has been out of direct contact with Putin, yet he's believed he was acting in Putin's interests "by default". His significant contributions in the war enhanced his sense of

I understand the interest in #titanicsub. Something to also think about: The scene now at the tiny fishing harbour of El Lousa, #Tunisia. Boat capsized with 40 people. 11 drowned. Bodies arriving into port. Happening almost everyday. Pictures to follow
