The British government is about to cave to Trump and Big Pharma, and increase the amount the NHS pays for the same medicines.

Absolutely crazy, deeply damaging to our health system.

US getting ready to attack Venezuela.

The rhetoric of curbing narcotics trade is just an excuse as Trump plans to pardon convicted drugs tsars at home.

It is about vanity, control of oil/gas and minerals and new Imperialism.

Rename Herzog Park in Rathgar. Link in bio to email Dublin City Councillors before Monday's vote.

Chaim Herzog fought for Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the 1967 Six Day War.

He should not be honoured with a memorial park in Dublin.

A French historian who spent a month in Gaza says he found “utterly convincing” evidence that Israeli forces enabled looting of aid convoys. He documented drone strikes on security teams guarding trucks, leaving them exposed to gangs as famine deepened.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

I can see why An Taoiseach would conveniently ignore Herzog's role in the Nakba

After all, acknowledging it might require acknowledgement of the Irish State's complicity in the destruction of Palestine

Which we've been busily laundering since the late 1990s

Taoiseach says 'divisive' proposal to rename Herzog Park should be 'withdrawn in its entirety'
Micheál Martin said that scrapping the name would erase the Jewish community’s “distinctive and rich contribution to Irish life”.
