We reiterate our demands, we uphold the Palestinian boycott call, UEFA must expel Israel for its crimes against Palestinians, until then the FAI should refuse to play these fixtures. No-one should play the apartheid state, anywhere. #BanIsrael #FreePalestine

So very true. It appears that, despite all of our technology (or perhaps because of it?!)...we're really the most ignorant of civilizations.

Fergus Finlay: I was always proud of the Irish flag — now it is just a symbol of hostility Behind the flags there is more than racism. We need to debate this — and we need to do it honestly

'All my life I’ve been proud of my flag. Now I’m ashamed of those limp symbols of hostility hanging off lampposts. [...] tokens of racism or intolerance.' Excellent from Fergus Finlay

it's taken me by surprise, i have to say. There isn't that much political pressure here in Ireland...which must mean, that such notions are a lot more embedded in the general mood that we think.

Israel has a hideously chilling strategy.

They want the destruction of the Palestinian people to be a done deal - like indigenous people in the US or Australia.

Martina Devlin: At 81, why is it left to Mary Robinson to stand up for Palestinians when the EU won’t? Mary Robinson is a headline act. In a landmark address at the United Nations delivered with passion and precision, she spoke truth to power – her call to action over Gaza flagged the need to suspend t...

'It is deeply disappointing that EU members have still taken no collective, concrete action.’

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

It cannot be denied: this is a deliberate and coldly-calculated famine, engineered by a technologically-advanced state which knows exactly what it is doing.

The world will remember how the EU and its member states respond to this catastrophic tragedy. Silence and neutrality in the face of genocide constitutes complicity. Inaction emboldens perpetrators and betrays every principle the Union and its states claim to uphold

Attenborough’s Ocean is the film I’ve been waiting my whole career for – now the world must act on its message | George Monbiot The documentary shows the damage that fishing does to our planet. So why does the industry still hold governments to ransom? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking.
