#Ireland has been on the receiving end of a torrent of abuse from #Israel due to our our long standing solidarity with the #Palestinian people. Some ask why this small country on the western edge of #Europe speaks so loudly for them. The answer lies deep in our history—and in our understanding of what it means to live under occupation and to fight for dignity. Here’s a🧵on why I think this is the case.

"The results of the postmortems join a growing body of evidence that sharply contradicts #Israel’s account of the incident, including video footage that shows the vehicles were travelling with headlights and flashing red lights that identified them, with personnel wearing hi-vis vests, at the time they were fired on."

Under Relentless #Israeli Bombing and Lacking Everything, a Gaza #Hospital Is Triaging Genocide

"DEIR AL-BALAH, GAZA—Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah is a place of concentrated horror and suffering. There is not a moment of tranquility here. A constant stream of ambulances rush in loaded with casualties—mostly crushed and charred bodies and dismembered children. The wards echo with the screams of mothers. Sobbing toddlers wander the halls looking for family members. Funeral prayers are held every hour, barely keeping up with the rising number of dead."

“I raised my children to love goodness and to do good deeds,” Sobhi said. “We had a principle in our home: do good without expecting thanks or praise. Mohammad [Bahloul] lived by this principle.

“We never expected this to happen – not even in our worst nightmares,” Sobhi added. “They went to save lives, only to become victims themselves.”

They left, and an hour or two later, we receive a call telling us the Bari family home was bombed, which was the home they were renting.”"
