Title: Identity narrative and constitutional flux: Nationalist and unionist civil society perspectives on Irish unification

Detailed review of my new book "Unfinished Empire" in this weekend's Irish Independent "It is rare to read a book so attuned to the political and emotional weight of eastern European history"

THREAD: On 21 June 2025 the United States bombed Iran, concentrating its massive firepower on three Iranian nuclear installations. It was, by any measure, and like the war launched by Israel on 13 June, an unprovoked attack. None of the justifications offer pass the smell test.

“The scale and depth of Israel’s flagrant disregard of human rights - including genocide - shocks the conscience of human kind. It cannot be allowed to continue. Europe must not be complicit.” Stephen Bowen, Director, Amnesty Ireland

An essential thread from Drop Site & +972 Magazine We’ve been following the killings near GHF distribution centers over the past month, but these firsthand testimonies from Palestinians who witnessed and survived them are absolutely critical.

Interesting and credible analysis of how bombing nuclear facilities in Iran may have been a tactical success but a strategic failure. Diplomacy can achieve more than bombing, if the aim is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Vance: “our main goal was to bury the uranium and I do think the uranium was buried." But most of it was not previously at Fordow.

More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.

As the lead up to the appointment of the next #UN #SecretaryGeneral picks up pace, here's my explainer article on the selection process that will take place in 2026 and why there is growing momentum to appoint a woman #equality #UnitedNations tinyurl.com/5n6w7ftp

I am delighted to host a civil society delegation from Western Balkans to discuss Ireland’s role in the region. Grateful to Irish Foreign Ministry and DCU Conflict Institute (formerly IICRR) for supporting the event!

"They attack us without provocation": a West Bank town mourns its dead after a settler raid. A sense of helplessness pervades Kafr Malik where IDF killed three Palestinians after locals resisted masked marauders. theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

Haaretz just revealed, based on conversations with soldiers, that commanders instructed them to fire at crowds near the GHF aid distribution centers to drive them away — even when it was clear the crowds posed no danger. Here’s how the soldiers described the horrific scenes:

🚨BREAKING: Oxfam and over 130 organizations demand an immediate end to Israel's deadly distribution scheme, a return to UN-led coordination, and the lifting of the brutal blockade on Gaza. Read our joint statement 👉oxf.am/3TksrtE

Yet another massacre by RSF forces, this time in villages around El Obeid, North Kordofan State. The horrors of civilians entrapped in El Fasher may now be replicated in El Obeid as the Kordofan region takes centre stage in Sudan's ongoing war. #Sudan #KeepEyesOnSudan #AyinSudan

Killing children. Starvation as a weapon of war. Targeting aid workers. These are all RED LINES. Many more have been crossed by Israel. As the UK gvmt breaks for summer, we demand it takes action to end its complicity in these atrocities in #Gaza bit.ly/RedLineMosaic__ 📸 Andy

The Daily Express is a right wing British newspaper that spends most of its time bashing immigrants. That it has devoted its front page to the starvation of Gaza is a sign of how dire the situation has become and how impossible it is to ignore.
