Around 10,000 people have taken part in a march in support of Palestine on the streets of Dublin. The National March for Palestine, organized by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Parnell Square this afternoon and made its way to Leinster House for a rally outside the Dáil (lower house of parliament). Today’s march is the 16th national march since October 2023. Groups representing trade unions, political parties as well as churches took part, carrying banners to show their group’s support for the cause. A group from GAA Palestine also took part in the march after the club made a...

EL AVIV—Israel on Monday began negotiations with several countries it hopes will take in Gazans as part of a mass emigration plan first proposed by President Donald Trump, two Israeli officials with knowledge of the talks told the Washington Free Beacon. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer briefed the rest of the cabinet on the talks in a closed-door meeting on Saturday evening. The leaders said the talks were expected to continue for several days with the goal of securing commitments from the other countries to accept specific numbers of Gazan migrants in exchange for...

Demonstrators in Los Angeles and other major cities waved Palestinian flags and chanted for an “intifada” as protests over ICE raids spiraled into organized violence and ideological unrest. Violent protests that erupted in response to federal immigration raids across Los Angeles last weekend have taken on a distinctly radical tone, with footage showing rioters not only targeting law enforcement but openly invoking militant Palestinian rhetoric and terrorist imagery. While the initial trigger was a wave of ICE arrests across residential and commercial areas, the unrest quickly shifted into something broader. In several confrontations downtown, masked individuals draped in keffiyehs and...

A man accused of being “a Hamas operative” based in London is a key figure behind Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound aid boat, it emerged on Monday. Zaher Birawi, who was described in Parliament as a person with links to Hamas, called himself a “founding member” of the Freedom Flotilla International Coalition, which arranged the voyage by the aid boat Madleen. Israeli forces boarded and seized the boat on Sunday, detaining the 12 pro-Palestinian activists it was carrying, including Ms Thunberg, as it attempted to bring a “symbolic” amount of aid to Gaza in defiance of an Israeli naval blockade. Mr Birawi,...

Students from universities including Yale, Stanford and UCLA have been refusing to eat in solidarity with Palestinians at risk of starvation in GazaWhen I speak to Iman Deriche, she hasn’t eaten in five days. “There are some moments of fatigue,” she says. “But I’m doing well.” The 21-year-old Stanford University student is one of 24 students and three faculty members who are taking part in a hunger strike in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. They aren’t alone: students and faculty at universities across the US are going on hunger strike with activist organisation Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), from...

Gaza Strip — It cost a fortune, she said, but Asmaa Fayez managed to buy a few zucchinis in a Gaza market. She cooked them with rice and brought it to her 4-year-old son, who has been in the hospital for the past week. The soup was his only meal of the day, and he asked for more. "It's all finished, darling," Fayez replied softly. Still, it was an improvement from the canned beans and tuna she brings on other days, she said. Hospital patients are among the most vulnerable as Palestinians across Gaza struggle to feed themselves, with Israel's...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok The city council of Providence, Rhode Island, is hosting a flag raising ceremony at the City Hall.What flag, you ask? A Palestinian flag... Providence, RI has been conquered.

In his social media posts, Abu Toha "specifically disparaged female Israeli hostages, questioned their hostage status and implicitly justified their abduction." One of the winners of this year's Pulitzer Prize - Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha - disputed whether the Bibas family was murdered by their captors and argued that Israeli hostages should not be called hostages. This was first revealed by the watchdog HonestReporting, which also called for Abu Toha's award to be rescinded. Abu Toha was awarded the prestigious prize on Monday for a series of essays in the New Yorker about the suffering in Gaza, where he...

The United States told the International Court of Justice Wednesday that Israel must provide aid to Gaza, but the country does not have to work with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year. The U.S. said Israel had legitimate concerns about the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA, the largest provider...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has decided that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees is not immune from being sued, reversing the U.S. government’s position that the organization was protected from civil liability.The Justice Department revealed its new stance in a letter it filed in federal court in New York on Thursday as part of a lawsuit that aims to hold the agency, known as UNRWA, accountable for the Oct. 7, 2023, deadly attack on Israel by Hamas. The change in position underscores the hardened perspective toward the agency under the Trump administration following allegations by Israel that some...

This is intolerable the latest reports I'm hearing they've blockaded the Strip and food is running out (days away) meanwhile airstrikes continue and children are being killed. There are protests in Jerusalem DAILY by Israeli citizens against these brutal tactics and the war in general. The Israeli government says it is trying to pressure Hamas to hand over hostages. President Trump is going to have to intervene or there is going to be a massive crisis especially if the reports are right about them being days away from running out of food. Over 2.3 million Palestinians are affected.

Summary. This WIP document was created to help understand Jew-hatred (Antisemitism) - the world's oldest form of racism. As well as provide essential resources and outline the following: — How Islamist propaganda goes hand in hand with leftist Marxism through the process of Soviet/Russian. — The connection between Islam and the Nazis (how Nazism transformed into Islamism). — How the "Palestinian Cause / Movement" is the pinnacle and forefront of Arab imperialism, Islamic Jihadi terrorism, invasion and colonialism. — How Israel isn't fighting the Islamic Republic of Iran, Qatar, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc - it's fighting Islam. — How we’re...

Protests have erupted across northern Gaza on Tuesday as Palestinians call for an end to the conflict with Israel — and declaring that they’re “sending a message to the entire world” that they want Hamas to permanently leave the war-torn Strip. Hundreds of Palestinians were seen marching in the cities of Beit Lahia and Jabalia with signs that read, “Stop the war,” as civilians waved around white flags and chanted “Hamas out,” viral videos on social media show. The demonstration in Beit Lahia, which began in front of the Indonesian Hospital, saw the crowd vocally condemning Hamas’ rule and demanding...

A group of people continued marching and circling around the main gate of Columbia University on Monday afternoon, banging loud drums and chanting, "Long live the intifada." Their actions come shortly after Columbia University professors held what they called an "emergency vigil" in response to the college's agreement to implement a host of policy changes, including overhauling its rules for protests and conducting an immediate review of its Middle Eastern studies department following demands from the Trump administration. The group gathered outside the university's gates on 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, holding signs that read "defend democracy," "defend teaching" and...

President Sissi said to float idea during meetings with other Arab leaders, though he has publicly rebuffed suggestions his country could take in any Palestinian refugees.Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has informed other Arab leaders that he is willing to temporarily relocate half a million residents from Gaza to northern Sinai in a designated city as part of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, according to a Friday report.According to the report in the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper, Sissi made his willingness known during meetings held by Arab leaders in recent weeks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. There was no confirmation of...

JERUSALEM -- Israel announced Sunday it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects were not immediately clear, but the arid territory's desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water. Hamas called it part of Israel's “starvation policy." Israel last week cut off supplies of goods to the territory of over 2 million Palestinians, an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of its war with Hamas. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassam called it part of Israel's “starvation policy, in clear disregard for all international laws and norms.” He said Israel has ”practically" cut off...

Trump's marketing of transfer as solution for Gaza's distress misleads and absolves them of their crimes; Don't beautify reality: Masses of "uninvolved" there were deeply involved in massacre, kidnappings and war, rightfully earning their removal. Let's talk about Gaza's residents. Let's discuss them again now because the new Trump narrative about them – regardless of whether motivated by real estate or international legal considerations – packages them in a confusing and misleading way. The relocation idea itself isn't bad, but the reasoning behind it is flawed. The Gazans are not unfortunate and pitiful victims of the war who need to...

If the world is serious about ending Palestinian suffering, it must hold Arab rulers accountable for deliberately sustaining this conflict. For decades, Arab nations have positioned themselves as staunch supporters of the Palestinian cause, yet their actions suggest otherwise. Although they publicly denounce Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, behind closed doors, many Arab leaders have systematically worked to prevent a permanent resolution to the Palestinian issue. Nowhere is this hypocrisy more evident than in the refusal of most Arab states — particularly Jordan — to integrate Palestinians, despite historical, demographic, and geopolitical realities that make Jordan the most viable...

A bulldozer tears huge chunks out of buildings in an emptied-out Palestinian neighbourhood. It is not clearing rubble, this is a demolition project - methodical and devastating. Nominally, Iron Wall is about rooting out militant groups, to stop another 7 October attack from originating in the restive refugee camps of Jenin or Tulkarm. Politically it meets demands by the extreme far right in Benjamin Netanyahu's government who want a return to war in Gaza. That is why it was launched just days after the Gaza ceasefire was agreed. According to the UN, 40,000 people have already been displaced. ... Donald...

Palestinians are parading the bodies of Israeli BABIES in coffins, as they blast loud music and celebrate. What kind of sick society is this?!
