Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign @ipsc.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yesterday we marched, demanding the FAI refuse to play against apartheid Israel. We can't accept the Irish flag flying alongside the Israeli one when what we see all the time is the Irish flag alongside the Palestinian flag, because Ireland stands with Palestine, always. #StopTheGame

Israel regards any kite flown in Gaza as an "act of war" and has ordered the army to treat them like drones. "I don't know what we can do that won't anger Israel," says Muhammad Owais, 13, who struggles to understand the rules of this new reality. mondoweiss.net/2026/08/chil... #Palestine #Israel

Protect the ECHR, so it continues to protect us! The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was established by the UK and other European states as a backstop protecting human rights, it underpins Northern Ireland's Good Friday agreement, defend it! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/keep_uk_in_e...
Image of desk with EU, UK and other flags, with the text "The ECHR keeps power in check. It guarantees fair trials, freedom from torture, and protection from discrimination. In Northern Ireland it underpins the Good Friday Agreement and safeguards party of esteem between communities. Leaving would not restore sovereignty,  it would dismantle accountability  - allowing any government to act without restraint and putting peace itself at risk."

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

It seems inconceivable that only a decade ago, this was just species-poor grass. Now it's a wild mass of trees, flowers, flying insects and birdsong. That's the transformative power of rewilding.

Yesterday, I spent the morning in Uragh, a fragment of ancient Beara rainforest. It's part of less than 1/1,000th of Ireland with pre-1600 woodland. I've been highlighting the plight of this uniquely special ecosystem for years now, leading to government promises of action. So, how is it doing?

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

In Ethiopia, Addis Standard is one of the last independent media. Last month, authorities tried to shut it down with an illegal notice. Now, its managing editor Million Beyene was abducted by masked men from his office. No information. No accountability. #WhereIsMillion 🇪🇹💔
Poster-style image showing Ethiopian journalist Million Beyene against a dark background. Large red text reads “72 HOURS. NO TRACE.” A shadowy figure appears behind him. The text explains he was taken from his workplace and has been missing for 72 hours, with no information from authorities. Hashtags call for his return.

The Muslim Sisters of Éire will not be able to provide their much appreciated soup run to folks in need due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street. "This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years."
Due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street, we are unfortunately unable to access the GPO tomorrow evening.
We have made every effort to contact the organisers but have not been able to reach a lead contact. We have also spoken with the Gardaí, who currently do not have further information.
With great sadness, we have to cancel tomorrow’s soup run, as we rely on access for our transit van and six cars. This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years.
We want to make it clear that we fully support the protest and understand the importance of standing up for change. We are also deeply concerned about the rising fuel costs and the lack of timely action.
We hope that by next week we will have more information or be able to coordinate access so we can continue providing this vital service.
Thank you for your understanding, and we stand with you.
