Ms Rachel will not be stopped. “Be so ashamed of your anti-Palestinian racism… We need everyone to say something. It’s never been wrong to say not to starve children and not to bomb children, and not to kill 15,000 children. What’s wrong is to be silent.”

My youngest brother Conor passed away last Monday, he had many talents but photography was his main one in adulthood, but this was a pic he took of Phil Lynott on his way to watch the Dubs in Croke Pk, at the time Conor was about 14/15yrs of age, really is a great photo 👍🏻

Dozens of Beitar Jerusalem supporters – a fanbase with a group notorious for its anti-Arab bigotry – attacked two bus drivers in Jerusalem. One of them said the police took more than 20 minutes to arrive. No arrests have been made so far haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

BBC Spotlight is actually one of the best parts of BBCNI. Management, however, were happy to slash its funding. They have now spent potentially millions on a case where they clearly defamed Adams and which they might have settled early. Surely serious questions have to be asked?

It's breathtakingly infuriating, the number of academic social media accounts grifting on 'race' & 'decolonisation' that have had not one word, not one single passing silent repost even, on the biggest racist episode of our times, the situation SCREAMING for decolonisation.

The Adams verdict is illustrating in spades everything that’s wrong with journalism here. The kneejerk tribalism. The replacement of expensive reporting with cost-free deskbound comment. The cosiness. The self-absorption. The comical self-regard. It’s an entertaining watch.

Re the precious libellists in the BBC claiming this result will “have a chilling effect on future reporting”. Ask Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey. Homes raided, computers seized, both arrested by the PSNI. That was intended to have A CHILLING EFFECT.

A new poll shows near majority of Israelis want to kill every child, woman and man in Gaza. No wonder Israel has become a pariah state. #BoycottGenocideNow geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/05/30/pol…

'It was a sign that the BBC team believed all was not well when they dedicated the latter part of their case to Mr Adams’ reputation, bringing an array of witnesses hostile to the former Sinn Fein president...' Massive mistake by the BBC to go political. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/column…
