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.

The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10The meetings notes say:
9. A discussion on the date of next meeting ensued. Mick O’Sullivan stated that the previous decision to hold a meeting on Saturday was religious discrimination and a Druids’ Council had withdrawn an offer of €2,000 to the IAWM.
Next meeting was set for Sunday, 14 December. (For 4 Against 3 Abstentions 3).
I''m concerned about this as I suspect the IAWM has been influenced by CIA agents in borrowed Jedi Knight outfits pretending to be Druids. What's really interesting is that the meeting notes didn't mention that they were suspending protests at shannon but the summary above does.....
It was decided that in future that SC meetings will not be open to observers but that the SC will proactively invite members and others to speak at SC meetings about specific topics when required.
the last thing i heard was that they were going to be allowed with prior notice, this is just a step back
big demo, i.e. march and listen to kieran, RBB, patricia and michael d.; and then we have meetings with "top-name anti-war speakers"...would that be kieran, RBB, patricia and michael d.?
i can't wait. exciting stuff. keep it up lads!
and now together:
one solution...
Talk of a huge demo in March is nonsense. Without something specific to demonstrate about, and without a specific goal in mind, nobody is going to turn up to walk up and down O'Connell St and have RBB and the rest explain to us - for the thousandth time - that war is really bad.
There are going to be less than a thousand people on this demonstration. Since many of these people would also turn up to a direct action in Shannon, why not do that? Answers on a postcard to the SWP - revolutionary socialist stewards.
(Maybe I'm being too harsh. maybe there'll be a direct action in Dublin, like a heavily symbolic sit-down on O'Connell Bridge. Or some really radical chanting!)
Watch out if this Druid outfit is led by McGrath. He is an ex(?) Nazi and the self appointed Arch Druid of Ireland. Other Druidic groups are in conflict with him. (A bit like trots really)

each of the celebrations of the eight-fold year. For further information

"The IAWM has chosen the slogan ‘End the Occupations – U.S. Military out of Shannon’."
Surely this must be a typo, you must have meant:
'End the direct action - anti-war movement away from Shannon'.
Are the SWP trying to drive all independents out of the IAWM and reduce it to the shell of other fronts like GR? The non-Dublin IAWM membership can hardly be too happy with this dictat - people like Fintan, Tim H. and Dominic O C. have consistently pushed Shannon as the top priority. It's particularly ironic that the newsletter mentions Fintan's release for christmas at the same time as announcing that his opinions are surplus to requirements.
I would be glad if someone from the steering committee of the IAWM did reply to the following:
will the anti-war activist community have a say on the organisation of the protest, or will we have the usual symbolic march and speeches by the usual suspects pushed down our throat by the IAWM steering commitee?
And another thing. Will the GG and other groups organise to keep up the campaign at Shannon now that it's clear that IAWM has pulled otu of Shannon?
Just confirming an earlier mail that Michael Mcgrath is a known White Supremacist who likes to infiltrate causes to get attention. He was one of the founders of the Irish National Socialist Party back in the early '80's. Liam Fay did an expose on him recently. He's planning to be on Tara this mid-summer with one of his fascist friends Con Connor whose organisation Druid School is a front for his racist activities. I heard a rumour that there is a planned demonstration against him by SWP members.
The previous comment says I am connected to Michael McGrath. This is a lie and there is a huge body of evidence to declare otherwise.
I have never met Michael McGrath. He has threatened to kill me. He has repeatedly insulted me. He is quite mad.

a druid spat is highly undignified-
i'd cut the whole comment section at this point. Con, everyone knows- its ok.
and if anyone has met and spoken to Mc Grath and seen his site, I'll buy them a pint.
