Lots of things are going wrong in this world, but Michael Tracey’s sobbing meltdown today over the belated Pulitzer to Julie Brown should make you want to live another day, joyously.

Irish Syria Solidarity supports Ukraine after 12 yrs of brutal invasion & 4 yrs of full scale genocidal war against them by Russia. The same Russia that with Assad, Iran & Hezbollah waged a horrific war of extermination against the people of Syria. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #FreeSyria🇸🇾

Ms Connolly's 'fact-finding' trip to Syria brought back no facts She never spoke of Assad slaughter of Palestinians in Yarmouk. Imagine a TD going to Gaza, meeting IDF commander, coming back with nothing to say but ask to lift sanctions on Israel, & leave IDF in control of aid

For 14 yrs we witnessed & spoke about what we witnessed as Syria was annihilated by the Assad regime. We called out Irish TDs & MEPs whose actions aided & abetted the regime. We often spoke into a void. Most disappointing was that many on the left ignored Syrian suffering totally.

This video featuring leaders of the Syrian community in Ireland and the country’s leading campaign group, all directly involved and protested that visit at the time, reveal why it cannot be ignored and must be addressed during the presidential election campaign.#CatherineConnolly #ClareDaly #MickWallace #Syria #Yarmouk #Assad #Warcrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #áras25View all comments
