There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says

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.

"On behalf of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, I would like to welcome you all to today's rally - Palestine's Tragedy, Britain's Disgrace. Today's event commemorates the signing of an agreement which has become known as the Balfour Declaration. On 2nd November 1917, in furtherance of its imperial ambitions in the Middle East, the British Government under Lloyd George made a promise to the Zionist Federation that it would 'establish a national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine. This promise, was made without consulting the people of Palestine who hoped for independence from the imperial powers. It could be described as a laudable idea - to find a home for a people without a home. As a Palestinian refugee I met last week in Palestine commented sadly - it is a shame therefore, that he did not create the state for the Jewish people in his own country - but chose instead the land of Palestine.
"The people of Palestine continue to live with the legacy of Balfour. The Israeli Government seems determined to grab every last square metre of Palestinian land. It continues to build the ever pervasive wall deep within Palestinian territory, Israeli settlements in the West Bank continue to expand despite UN resolutions and international agreements to the contrary and despite the façade of peace and prisoner releases, the Israeli government continues its systematic programme of arrests and incursions in the West Bank. In the last week alone - the IOF conducted at least 35 military incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank, arrested 26 Palestinian civilians, including 5 children, killed one man and injured 4 civilians, including two children. Last week was a normal week in Palestine. The number of Palestinian civilians arrested by IOF in the West Bank since the beginning of the year stands at 2,098. Yet, the western media provides us with un-researched reports about Israeli prisoner release programmes.
"In Gaza, meanwhile - the siege continues. All border crossings have been closed for more than 2 years. 1.5 million people are denied their basic rights, including freedom of movement, and their rights to appropriate living conditions, work, health and education. Fuel shortages are having a devastating effect on lack of clean drinking water, health services, water and sewage treatment facilities. More than 260 Palestinians have died since the siege was imposed in early 2006 because Israel refuses to issue permits to go abroad for medical treatment.
"We applaud the efforts of the courageous international volunteers who this week again broke the siege of Gaza by sailing there from Cyprus. We congratulate the members of the IPSC who sailed on SS Dignity - Alan Lonergan and Derek Graham and their 2 other Irish colleagues Mairead Corrigan Maguire and Caoimhe Butterly. With 4 Irish people on board SS Dignity - they have sent a strong and brave message to the Irish government. The Irish people will not stand idly by while the Palestinian people are under a brutal siege in Gaza. As a people, we will not be complicit in the EU's failure to act to end this blockade.
"We repeat our call on the Irish government to use its power and influence in Europe to impose sanctions on the Israeli state. While Israel continues to occupy the territory of Palestine and to contravene norms and agreements of international law - Europe must stop treating it as like a respected business partner. It must start treating it for what it is - a rogue state in the heart of the Middle East.
"As some of you will know, Balfour's previous work was well known to us here in Ireland. As Secretary of State for Ireland, Balfour had long opposed Home Rule. It is fitting therefore, that as one previously colonised nation to another - on this anniversary of the signing of the Declaration -that we show our solidarity with the people of Palestine.
"We are delighted to have with us a range of speakers from Palestine, Britain and Ireland. I would like to welcome Jeremy Corbyn MP, Aengus O'Snodaigh TD, Anaheed Al-Hardan and Professor Mahmoud Muhareb. Unfortunately, we are not being joined today by Prof Illan Pappe, as advertised, he was called to a meeting in Berlin; but we are delighted to have an excellent and varied range of speakers nonetheless."
Statement of support from George Galloway MP (Respect):
"It is extremely fitting that you have chosen to demonstrate on this day to mark the infamous Balfour Declaration.
"It was Arthur Balfour - a notorious anti-Semite - who set us upon this bloody helter-skelter in Palestine and the wider Middle East.
"He it was who, in the name of one people, the British, gave to the purported leaders of another, the land belonging to a third without asking any of the peoples concerned.
"Those of us who are politically active in Britain have a special responsibility to the people of Palestine for the suffering that has been inflicted on them.
"That a demonstration is taking place in Dublin should prick consciences on this side of the water.
"Congratulations to the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign for taking this initiative.
"This is a moment of potential change in world politics. No one should imagine that will be easy or automatic. But the closing days of the US election campaign are revealing a deep desire for change, way beyond what is on offer.
"For those of us who have campaign for decades in solidarity with the Palestinian people now is a time to renew our commitment. The failure of the US imperial project in Iraq and, increasingly in Afghanistan, is now fusing with the failure of the free market ideology that has held sway for a generation.
"It's time to talk about alternatives. To resurrect the notions of solidarity and collectivity we were told had been vanquished.
"In so doing, the name of Palestine will be emblazoned on the banners of all who count themselves progressive.
"The shifting sands in the Middle East are undermining the corrupt kings and puppet presidents who rule almost without exception from north Africa to the Afghanistan.
"There is a fire under the presidential throne of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. The underpinnings of the House of Saud are rotting away.
"The struggle in Palestine is finding fresh and powerful detachments in Cairo, Amman, Riyadh.
"We must do all we can here in the West to fan these flames."
In solidarity,
George Galloway MP

Shame on them British newspapers who are more interested in publishing stories about Gazza than about Gaza.
