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.

Mainstream Naysayers Gather As Hopes Rise for Fourth Year of Record Coral on the Great Barrier Reef Thu Jul 31, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Excellent piece of work lads. The acorn is beginning to sprout buds all over the place!
Just back from the protest outside Raytheon. A good dozen or so people are still at the entrance to the industrial estate with banners and placards. Getting lots of support from the cars passing by. Police presence is quite heavy - a couple of unmarked cars sped past us on our way there. Apparently a professional negotiator has been brought in by the police and about one hour ago, a car and jeep carrying eight police with masks over their faces arrived. Looked pretty ominous. There are a few journalists and a camera man but they are being kept well back from Raytheon itself. Organisers are planning for a big gathering between 5 and 6pm this evening and have asked for the word to be spread...
That over 26 billion euros of military related products have been exported to dozens of countries since 1997 exposes the sheer scale of this flourishing industry in Ireland.

Amnesty International Gives Cautious Welcome to Arms Export Control Legislation
http://www.amnesty.ie/user/content/view/full/6258/
“While we are concerned that it has taken over five years from when we first called for the Irish Government to move on this legislation, we welcome that the wheels are now beginning to turn,” said Seán Love, Executive Director, Amnesty International Irish Section.
“The quote attributed to Minister Ahern that 'Ireland does not have an arms trade' is deeply unfortunate, and quite disingenuous given the legislation he is announcing. Ireland does indeed have an arms trade, and government needs to acknowledge this fact if it is to be serious about controlling it.”

congrats!
This is wonderful news! I hope everyone is safe and well, and that as much damage as possible was made to the mass murder support infrastructure at Raytheon's Derry factory. This is excellent, excellent news!!
Great news lads. Keep up the good work. Any ideas on how we can decommission some of the troops passing through Shannon?
Raytheon derry does civilian projects--specifically radar and shizzle for international airports--Beirut actually amongst them, so while you have targetted the correct company, you have created distress for derry workers on civilian projects and as such i believe you will recieve your just rewards from the judge, maybe you should target the close working partners as well :
University of Ulster Magee Campus and Queen's University on research and development, recruitment and employee development
doubt it ehh...
Raytheon Derry systems currently keep the planes with aid flying into Beirut. Without that system no aid can fly into Beirut airport.
Well done!
Hang on a second...
Which airport are the magic aid planes supposed to be flying into? Beirut airpot? The one with no runways or fuel tanks because of Israeli bombing, right?
Raytheon operates civilian radar, well, heavens above... Mussolini was good with trains. Raytheon missiles and the damage and death they have brought, means that on balance, Raytheon products are most certainly not welcome in a civilised world.
Raytheon was giving the chace to explain themselves and there ATC projects before the Derry City Council and refused the invitation. What are they hiding.

Good job, think of all the Irish workers that will be unemployed when Raytheon shuts that facility down. What is McCann going to storm to find those people new jobs.
Common sense, I'm surprised you think that a job which requires the mass murder of innocents is worth having.
Raytheon is a major arms dealer.
I once saw a poster which said "Stalin loves Children and Animals". I suppose on that basis you can say "Raytheon supports the Irish".
I hear that Raytheon is planning to help Lebanon recover after the "war" by building a factory to make bombs to drop on Ireland.
Sounds like a Common Sense way to deal with unemployment in Lebanon, doesn't it?
"Commonsense" may be interested to hear that, in the course of the bail hearing for the 8 released of the Raytheon 9, it was revealed that there are 44 employees on the books of the Derry Raytheon facility. Since all the best paying jobs are kept for those coming from [and, I'm told often actually based in] its Boston HQ, the closure of the Derry plant is hardly going to lead to mass unemployment. In fact, McCann, DAWC and FEIC [the Foyle Ethicial Investment Campaign] have all pointed out that the amount of money that the taxpayer puts into Raytheon would create FAR MORE jobs for nurses, teachers etc. Precisely how many jobs could be created with the amount that goes to Raytheon is currently being pursued through FOI requests etc. Which would you prefer in your town? 100 or more nurses or 44 or fewer jobs making superprofits for the company responsible for the bomb that killed 62 people in the marketplace in Baghdad in April 2003, or a similar number of people in Qana in August 2006?

Just read an excellent piece by Anthony McIntyre on the Derry siege. (http://lark.phoblacht.net/AM13080614g.html
As it comes from an activist who has crossed swords a number of times with Eamonn McCann and his politics, it articulates clearly the kind of positive unity that is developing in the anti-war movement nationally.
Well done Anthony.
No-one can deny the horror of modern day conflict and terrorism that is perpetrated across the globe. No-one denies the tragedy and suffering of innocents killed or maimed due to the same.
It seems that the violence of groups like the PLO, Hamas, and Hizbullah have gone unnoticed in McCanns' camp. Is ALL violence to be condemned or is this the politics of discrimination? Any right thinking human being will condemn violence from ALL sides of any conflict.
The recent publicity stunt at the Raytheon software offices demonstrates a kind of discrimination :- If McCann and his associates are to gain any credibility, outside of their own clique, they must not be seen to pick on one company whilst letting other known companies operate without even a mention.
Why aren't they protesting at the doors of other defence suppliers within Northern Ireland (never mind the rest of Ireland)? To name a few: Shorts (Bombardier) - Belfast, Shorts Missile Systems - Castlereagh, Maydown Precision Engineering - Derry, Invista/DuPont - Derry, Creative Composites - Lisburn, Superseal International LTD - Portadown.
Is it because the offices of a local software house is an easy target?
Better yet, Why not go to army barracks still located within Northern Ireland and confront an 'imperial killing machine' directly?
Is this a stand for real principles or is this the 'pic and mix' politics we have come to expect from the local socialist scene (DWAC, FEIC, SEA, "whatever-the-name-its-the-same-game")?
"Socialist" - but I don't hear of such groups fighting with a similar gusto for real change on local "social" issues like unemployment, anti-social behaviour, or hate crimes.
"Empty vessels make the most sound".
