And still nothing done about it! ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN
In the middle of a housing crisis paying apprentices 7 euro an hour is madness. And we wonder why we have skills shortages in construction!! Apprentices for home building ‘dropping out to work in fast-food sector’ due to low pay irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…
In the latest piece from our 'IUA Insights' series, Dr Lisa Keating explores why Ireland must act now and invest strategically in the research infrastructure that underpins Ireland's innovation and competitiveness. 👇 Click below to read the full article iua.ie/publications/i…
🇵🇸 Enact the Occupied Territories Bill now. 🇵🇸 Full statement @DuncanSmithTD on our website: labour.ie/news/2025/07/2…
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…

🚨History will judge those who cannot look back and say with sincerity that they did everything within their power to halt this genocide. @LSRPlaid and I have written to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary on the ongoing inhumane situation in Gaza.
This is one of those images you instantly know will appear in history books of the future. And people will wonder how we allowed this to happen.

THIS IS A MAN-MADE FAMINE. 1 in every 3 people in Gaza goes without food for several days, while 9,000 trucks full of aid waiting at the border. Forced starvation is an act of genocide.
It is so late, Ms Kallas. Only sanctions can stop Israel. Suspending the EU agreement with Israel is a must. Anything less will be just performance, which the millions of Europeans who are grieving for the genodice in Gaza, would much prefer being spared from.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges

Prof. Omer Bartov said that he - as a former IDF officer - resisted concluding Israel was committing genocide as long as he could. "But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one." nytimes.com/2025/07/15/opi…
After every genocide people ask "how could fellow human beings commit such horrendous crimes against one another?" The answer is always the same - because the victims were dehumanised. Everyone should be outraged & demand their Government stops its complicity in this genocide.

To those who have dismissed the impact and potential of the Occupied Territories Bill over this week, who have said it won’t help. The Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland: “The OTB is not symbolism. It is crucial political leadership which can help set a new EU precedent.”
Ireland has always been an important voice in demanding justice & action in the face of international law violations. Ireland’s efforts to take action against illegal Israeli settlements with #OccupiedTerritoriesBill is not symbolism. It's crucial political leadership which can…
time for action, not just words
We welcome the statement by the U.K. and 25 international partners calling for an immediate end to Israel’s aggression on Gaza. The time for “strongly worded statements” has long passed. Israel will not stop this genocide unless compelled. And it will only be compelled when met…
Senseless . Devastating. Another shameful day. What has happened to your breakthrough deal @kajakallas ?
Dozens of Palestinians were killed while seeking UN aid in Gaza this weekend. @antonioguterres has condemned the mass shootings and deaths, and reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access. un.org/sg/en/content/…
Israeli #Hasbara claims the arrest of two Israeli soldiers in #Belgium was about “public order” or “flag waving.” The Belgian Federal Prosecutor says otherwise: > “These complaints relate to serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the Gaza Strip.” The…
🇧🇪I commend Belgium for arresting & interrogating Israeli war crimes suspects. The pressure to release them must be immense. Even if they escape justice, the precedent is set: universal jurisdiction applies. Others will follow, & war criminals will think twice before traveling.
🔴 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in #Gaza were Arrested and interrogated at #Tomorrowland after a joint complaint by the #HindRajabFoundation & @GLAN_LAW. This is historical! More info ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators/b… #JusticeForGaza #NoSafeHaven…
