Strong letter in yesterday's Irish Examiner. There is no neutral venue that hosts the national team of a state committing genocide against Palestinians. Serbia is a key ally of apartheid Israel. The FAI must boycott the Nations League fixtures. #StopTheGame

Our protest at the Central Bank today. The Central Bank and Deutsche Bank are enabling Israel to sell bonds to the public within the EU. Both are pivotal parts of the architecture of financial support for genocide, occupation and apartheid. The CBI must #StopFundingGenocide

Israel has bombed the Pasteur Institute for Public Health in Tehran. In Gaza they relentlessly bombed all medical facilities, murdering medical staff. Israel is a terrorist, apartheid state. Not a single word of criticism from the crooked complicit Labour UKGovt. x.com/saulstanifor...

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanonโ€”about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

The US expecting the world to bail it out of its war of choice is the height of imperial arrogance. We should all tell America to go fuck themselves. Over everything.
