In 1841, American painter John Goffe Rand invented the collapsible paint tube, which kept colors fresh outdoors. By the 1880s, Van Gogh relied on them to work in fields and streets, making plein-air painting central to his style.

They are all on the same team, are you with them or against them?
The image is a political graphic that labels Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "The Genocide Squad" and accuses them of being criminals and mass murderers.

Israel has left Gaza devastated: 134K+ buildings destroyed, 74,000+ Palestinians killed and mass displacement. In the West Bank, Israeli settlement expansion and settler attacks are accelerating as Palestinians are expelled from their homes and land. It is genocide. Survivors ask: "Where do we go?"

Would be good for the media to more clearly set out that being guilty means the entirety of City's success, the whole club is built on sporting fraud. Add that to Chelsea and two decades of English football and the very foundation of PL tv details are tainted. It is that serious

The FAI reveal themselves to be spineless once again with the Ireland v Israel debacle. One way out I see now is if Ireland “play” the game, but the players just stand there on the pitch. Let Israel win 100-0. Just stand there and let the record show what a farce this is. Respect to Gavin Bazunu

Days before the Palestinian olive harvest, the Israeli military bulldozed, uprooted and torched thousands of fruit-bearing trees in the Occupied West Bank. Olive orchards account for more than 8% of the West Bank’s GDP and provide more than 60,000 jobs.

Solidarity with Gavin Bazunu, who is (I believe) the first European footballer to ever refuse to compete against the Israeli national team. 482 matches after the illegal occupation of the West Bank. 17 matches after the UN considers the current genocide began. 7 matches after the UN ruling.

The correct decision for the Israel v Ireland game is that Israel should be banned from UEFA. We don't want War Criminals, ALL the countries need to get together and ban Israel from even entering their countries, then Israel won't be able to get to the game and THEY will forfeit.

If Ireland’s international footballers decide to refuse to play Israel tomorrow it could set in motion an avalanche of similar acts of defiance against the fascist Israeli regime and solidarity with those being murdered and displaced. It would be phenomenal and a very proud moment for Ireland.
