The bombs are raining down on Gazan Palestinians, the water remains off, the hospitals not yet bombed have no meds left, the bodybags ran out, hunger is in the air, the air stinks of phosphorous. And Western leaders, like Biden and Sunak, rush to Tel Aviv to support Israel...

Great piece by Liam Carson celebrating almost 20 years of IMRAM. Comhghairdeas libh go léir, this year's programme looks brilliant 💫👏

The genocide apologists are out in force tonight.

Having lost the argument – no group in Gaza has a rocket that can flatten a hospital, not even close – they're trying to spin it differently.

Supposedly it was still one of Islamic Jihad's paltry home-made rockets but the damage…

Thanks Harry Browne for telling it like it is. #ApartheidIsrael has killed twice as many children in #Gaza in the last ten days as have died in the Russian War in Ukraine. #TonightVMTV Virgin Media Ireland

Thanks Paul for a great prompt.

Time was a time
when fat Air Mails passed
each other at 30,000
feet. Updates of lives
lived, one without the other.
Tales of the youthfully
bereft yet hope for that
promised resurrection.
For some, distance
was the spice.
