How do you say genocide in the EU's 24 languages? As EU leaders meet in Brussels to discuss Israel's actions in #Gaza, we sent them a message they can't ignore #EndGazaGenocide 👇

Amnesty International’s landmark new report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed - and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. What this means for the EU & its member states 🧵 https://t.co/BUxCo7bvyw

Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The @HouseofCommons has just passed #EqualHIVFertilityRights! The legislation will be debated later today in the @UKHouseofLords. Thank you @GwynneMP for taking the right steps to end this unjust barrier for LGBT+ people living with #HIV who wish to be parents.

A brilliant, deeply moving exposé of the cruel treatment of women and their babies in church-directed “homes”. Never was a word so heartlessly misused . @RTEOne Thank you Margo Harkin
Between 1922 and 1998, over 80,000 unmarried mothers were incarcerated in church-run mother and baby homes. Margo Harkin’s documentary tells the stories of these women and their families. Stolen premieres tonight at 9.35pm on @RTEOne. #IrishDocumentary

People are in a lot of pain, they want the death and destruction in Gaza to end, death and destruction our government is funding. This response is inappropriate and lacks empathy. People do not want Trump to win, they want the genocide to end.
Pro-Palestine protesters just disrupted Kamala's speech in Michigan. Her response: "If you want Donald Trump to win say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”

As an Irish person paying attention to the Olympics for the first time, it came as a shock this week when my Danish in-laws brought us to a handball match… turns out handball to everyone else is not slapping a bouncy ball against the wall 😅 🤾🏼 #Paris2024 @GAA_Handball #handball

If you haven’t yet read it, please check out Kelly’s essay ⬇️ Her reflection on growing up in Coolock in response to recent events (and how people have been speaking about it in the aftermath on social media) is an important lesson to everyone in ~think before you speak~ ! ❤️

Sadly I tried to quote a post by @tariq_raouf , a queer Palestinian, but it seems Twitter is blocking and censoring their tweets.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Using the 2014 film ‘Pride’ to explain what we mean by ‘solidarity.’ Here is our response to Benjamin Netenyahu’s speech at the US Congress. Today, Benjamin Netanyahu, compared the slogan, “Gays for Gaza” to “Chickens for KFC.” The comment received rapturous
Netanyahu: Some of these protesters hold up signs that say 'Gays for Gaza,' they may as well hold up signs that say 'Chickens for KFC'

We must fight against Pink washing. And I call on institutions to rethink their stance on academic and cultural boycotts, especially in light of the ICJ’s recent verdict. As always, I will add what I live by, though clichéd: none of us are free until all of us are free 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇨🇮🇵🇸

Again, this post is not to victimise myself or my comrades/colleagues (Yes I felt uncomfortable, but never unsafe at the event), but to show how misunderstandings of queer solidarity & racist, anti-Palestinian sentiments are being used, even in professional and academic settings.

I must add that organisers of this conference were clear on their stance on what’s happening in Palestine from the beginning, and have been 100% supportive in the aftermath of this incident. This incident on the grand scheme of things is inconsequential, but a shame nonetheless.
