There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.
Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10we took up position on the roundabout opposite the entrance to Shannon. We were well minded by a group of Guards also enjoying the sunshine. A regular convoy consisting of a Garda van and several Army vehicles made their way out of the Airport, circled around our roundabout and headed back the way they came. We got a few smiles from the Army lads who must have been very dizzy at the end of the day. Will they be putting in a compensation claim? Only time will tell.

As the circus came to town. There were the usual clowns in cars telling us to Go'way outta dat and one woman who demanded that we 'go home and wash the dog'. Either that was a euphemism or I have to buy a dog. Some beeped and waved in support so it wasn't all bland.

Great action folks. Y'all look great.
I've spent the last week in Sydney spreading the word about Shannon's role in the war and nonviolent resistance to it. Gave a rap at Redfern church yesterday, Pax Christi on saturday, "Politics in the Pub" (great concept) on Friday night at the Gelic club and at a demonstration marking the 10th anniversary of U.S. war cheer leader John Howard being Prime Minsiter of Australia.
On Friday, my brother Sean was found "not guilty" in Alice Springs magistrates court of "obstructing a federal officer" outside CIA base Pine Gap last December. Sean tied up the cops in cross examination while defending himself the previous Monday. Four friends who carried out a "citizens inspection" of the Pine Gap base in December are on more serious charges and have a pre-trial hearing in April.
I got approached by an Irish backpacker on the street the other day. he went to school with Eoin Dubsky...so it's either remains a small world or a small movement!
In the personage of a certain 'undercover' Guard who made his presence felt by taking our photo in an OTT manner. I guess he assumed it was intimidatory but he raised the biggest laugh of the day. However, his driving skills leave a lot to be desired.

Well done...
Another excellent piece Elaine.
Did anyone report that undercover dood? He seems to be making turns without using his indicators. No seat belt. Dangerous driving, using his left hand only - steering and gear changing, not to mention trying to compose and take photographs at the same time. No tax and no insurance on display. Not to mention that this act is blatently an act of harassment and intimidation. (He coulda just logged onto Indy if he just wanted photos.) I'm sure we could even arrange autographs for him.
One should note that in the picture titled "Oh Yeah, Classy Bit Of Undercover" there are two Gardaí witnessing this man break and flaunt the law.
Never a real Garda around when ya need one. It seems they might all be undercover Gardaí. Ie. pretend Gardaí.
Who is he gathering evidence for? And for what? How long can rogue members of the Gardaí keep the 'evidence' they gather against activists, withour proffering charges?
How long can rogue Gardaí ignore the criminal actions of a rogue government?
How long will we witness and accept this?
Article 9
2. Fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the state are fundamental duties of all citizens.
Seems to me that activists, personify Article9 section 2.
What does this say of those who would oppose Article 9 section 2?
We continue to witness.
Colm, Tim, Elaine & Asia - Ye are flying the flag for all of us and for all those being butchered in Iraq and all those being tortured by the U.S. Thank you so much and well done.
Well done companera....solidarity from all of us up here to all those who took part.
Great to see you all keeping the faith. Small group, big hearts. Great running commentary and photo essay, Elaine.
Particularly liked the comments about displacement activity and the herd. Sometimes I keep my thoughts in that direction to myself out of what is probably a misplaced sense of politeness. But really, too many appear sheep-like in the face of the ongoing unravelling of an incredible tissue of lies around this war and the torturing and kidnaps. The economic argument has been put to me on occasion as a plausible reason to tolerate our complicity, by people who seem to think it is normal to keep a 'diplomatic' silence about serious breaches of international law, to protect the freedom of the Irish to accumulate assets. It is depressing if this is a major reason for the ongoing compromises that occur here and for the small number of people now still interested in seriously keeping up the pressure about Shannon. Self-interest and greed have become acceptable and normalised in our society, even if it means the facilitation of torture is the price we have to pay.
For either praise or blame;
Many Thanks: to both Tim and Conor (among others) who have kept a constant and sometimes thankless watch on the comings and goings at Shannon.
No Thanks: to the Irish Aviation Authority who earned themselves another visit today because of their continued complicity in this illegal and immoral war.
