Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

Got the reply from him also, to email saying he had brought me close to voting for the first time in the rotten borough of TCD, if only to get him out

They say it’s to protect children, but this new EU law would let AI scan every message we send.
That means our private moments; photos, chats, confessions, could be monitored forever.

Learned that Teva pharmaceutical is an Israeli company. Called my pharmacy about an alternative for my regular drug - they had already acted. Have moved house, but will stick with this pharmacy #BDS

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

I wa surprised how CC couldn’t answer if Russia presents a threat to Europe or not. And I was a likely voter. There are ways of squaring our neutrality with recognising that. Wonder what our neighbours all over the country make of that?

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

She may do so given that of the three she’s the only one who speaks confidently, articulate and with some gravitas - some may be won over by her presidential air.

“Steve Held, the journalist arrested tonight and taken to a so far undisclosed location, was part of the reporting team that exposed the falsity of ICE’s official narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González. His work speaks for itself.”

NPR reports on IDF innovation in battlefield medicine, says soldiers interviewed won’t give full names to avoid potential war crimes prosecutions. To end, the report tells us the soldiers will carry scars the rest of their lives, some invisible. And to think NPR was defunded for being too liberal.
