Good day for American interests and values

She is an extreme example, but I do wonder how many Kremlin fifth columnists (paid and unpaid) there are, not least in UK, Germany and in other Western countries. We need to do more to expose them

Excellent article

An important article on how Ireland and Spain, by speaking out, are gradually shaping the EU policy on Gaza. Crucially, this has been achieved by “nudging not subverting” the EU mainstream view theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Important report on Channel 4 News detailing clear pattern of Israeli attacks on humanitarian workers.

Israel bans Al Jazeera PR, IDF accidentally kills 7 aid workers from World Kitchen ID trying to prevent man made famine in #gaza . Even by current standards this is a bad week. After 73, Camp David, after 1st intifada Oslo…what hope for this pattern in 2024?

As far as I am aware, and despite it being raised at the highest level, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has not had a response detailing the ‘full and transparent’ investigation by Israel of its bombing of a de-conflicted Medical Aid for Palestinians facility in Gaza on the 18th January. What hope for this?

Insightful article by ⁦Pat Leahy⁩: Most people wish Harris good luck. He will need it e-pages.dk/irishtimes/331…

🇪🇺 🇷🇺 🇮🇪 Elected members of European Parliament taking money to disseminate Russian propaganda strikes at the heart of democracy. These are serious charges. There is an enquiry. All MEPs should be invited to state their position. Ireland’s elected MEPs should be investigated.

Just had to pay £17 in customs charges to get three Easter eggs sent by grandparents in Ireland, released from the Post Office. Yay for Brexit!

Important decision that Ireland will intervene in the South Africa v Israel case at the ICJ
