As Israel massacres a hundred Palestinians in a school: Never get used to this. Never normalise this. Never stop being shocked.

My colleagues gave repeated standing ovations to Netanyahu yesterday. I hope they remember the starving children of Gaza who will carry the scars of this disaster for the rest of their lives.

There are 20,000 Palestinian kids in Gaza estimated to be “lost, disappeared, detained, buried, under the rubble or in mass graves.” That’s on top of the 14,000 kids who are officially classed as killed. That’s according to a new Save The Children report. Genocide.

I don't like putting too much pressure on any young player but Gavin McAteer is outstanding. He completely changed the game and was at ease in that environment. Great to see talent like that coming through the Academy - and credit to Darren Murphy for playing him.

A piece from my latest podcast with former Finn Harps player @forker_mark. The topic of conversation was in relation to Harps' player Gavin McAteer who had impressed Mark during the 1-1 home draw v Athlone Town in early June. Full podcast ⬇️ buzzsprout.com/1250537/152463…

He watched two fisherman in Gaza shot dead in front of him. That's while trying to deliver aid for 10,000 children in northern Gaza - which Israel then denied permission for. Please listen to UNICEF's @1james_elder. Don't let Gaza be forgotten.

A big thanks to @Tonymac07 for having me on his Time Out Podcast. Tony is a gentleman and had to listen to me chat some mince. 😂 Subscribe to his channel if you can - the old podcast game as I know from experience is hard work!

The major world powers have supported and enabled this. They have lied pathologically, supplied the weapons, savagely censored criticism, and worst of all pretended to be concerned about the Palestinian people, all the while allowing their annihilation.

This is Gaza City yesterday- remnants of a life once lived. Nothing quite prepares you, especially if you knew her before. These are people’s homes, their favorite cafes, their parks, their schools. Gone. Destruction everywhere of life, a place, a time, a culture. From the inside out. #Gaza #CeasefireNOW

#Must_watch Al Jazeera published one of the most horrifying scenes I’ve ever witnessed, showing execution of Palestinians attempting to return home to North Gaza. I translated the video for you. Soldiers mercilessly shot civilians who were surrendering & raising their hands

@EylonALevy And hundreds celebrated on the beaches in Tel Aviv. But I thought Israel was at war? I thought the country was in a desperate fight for its survival. Looked like good fun at the beach and anything but a country at war. Please stop murdering innocent women and children.

You see, these really are humans with as much innate worth as any other human. I shouldn't have to type this. But a 12-year-old boy being slaughtered by an army is a war crime. If you're applauding Israel's weekend operation, this is what you're applauding. Don't look away.

🚨 Rasha Matar recounts how the Israeli special units executed her child when they infiltrated their home in Al-Nuseirat. They killed her 12-year-old son Yamen and injured her other children and husband after storming the house and firing bullets and grenades everywhere in Al-Nuseirat camp. She says, "We did nothing wrong; they executed my son before my eyes."
