I cannot ever forget how the marching bands refused to be silent, as requested, going past the house where the mother of those three murdered boys took refuge in the weeks after her unthinkable loss. A small detail that exposes everything this march is for.

The Irish army are Óglaigh na hÉireann, whose official English name is the Irish Defence Forces [IDF]. The Israeli military [IDF] have fired on & bombed na Óglaigh peacekeepers sporadically. Apparently Death to Irish troops is fine, but rhetorically calling for it for the Israeli IDF is not*. #Irony

Across Ireland, countless ash plantations have been wiped out by ash dieback. A similar threat hangs over sitka. When will forestry 'experts' grasp that planting monocultures is madness on every level, and that a radically new direction – diverse, wild native forest *ecosystems* – is needed NOW?

This report should break something in all of us. 15,613 children. The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0. 26% were under the age of 5

Screenshot from an article that reads

On Monday, the ministry published a list of names of 15,613 children under the age of 18 who it said had been killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Among them, 890 children were under the age of 1, and 274 were born and died during the war. Almost a quarter, 26%, were under the age of 5.
