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.

Could someone please explain why this WSM branch is called the 1st of May branch? I understand the symbolism of may day and the important and indeed vital contribution of anarchists to the day, but I dont understand the desire to call a branch after a day. It would be like a Labour party brach calling itself 1st of April branch because of the contribution that the Irish labour party has made to fools in Ireland.
It's going to be a pub quiz. Time not verified but I think around 8.30/9pm. I understand that a flyer is been done up so will be here in due course. Thanks to the WSM for their ongoing solidarity as we journey back through the Four Courts.
Other events prior to the Pitstop Ploughshares retrial in Dublin's Four Courts from Oct. 24th can be followed at the link below.
It's not going to be a quiz, it'll be a night of music and chat along the lines of the 'Anarchy Nite Cafe' held during the summer, kicking off about 8:30/9:00pm, the purpose being to show both financial and moral solidarity with the Pitstop Ploughshare defendants as they face into their re-trial.
Thats great so there will be two nights, a pub quiz and a music night? That makes the story twice as good as it initially was!
Apologies, me wires were crossed!
Thanks Gregor.

The Catholic Worker 5 are five anti-war activists who disarmed a US warplane in Shannon that was on its way to the war in Iraq. They will be on trial for this act on October 24th. In solidarity the 1st of May branch of the Workers Solidarity Movement are holding a fundraiser to help pay for the costs incurred by these activists due to this action.

DJs etc
Of course Joe meant to say Thursday 6th Oct.
I'd encourage all to go along, its a big thing whether you agree with the tactic or not that 5 people are goin to face the state like this
Sometimes they are Catholic Worker sometimes Ploghshares - why?
The Catholic Worker was started in 1933 by Dorthy Day and Peter Maurin setting up houses of hospitality for the homeless, non-violently resisting war, living in community. About 200 houses exist throughout the US. Some in Germany, Britain, Holland, Australia, Canada too.
The Ploughshares Movement was initiated on Sept. 8th 1980 by the Berrigan brothers, Phil and Dan, alongside other activists who disarmed Mark 12-A nuclear missile cones in an attempt to enflesh the prohecy of Isaiah and Micah, 'to beat swords into ploughshares and study war no more'.
Many Ploughshares actions over the past 25 years (about 80) have involved people connected to the Catholic Worker Movement.
For more information on the Ploughshares movement go to
www.plowsharesactions.org
For more information on Dublin Catholic Worker go to www.geocities.com/dublincatholicworker
All five activists on trial, the Pitstop Ploughshares, are connected to the Catholic Worker Movement.
I understand that only three of the five are actually Catholics!!!
It's so confusing.
Does it really matter what their religion is? Do you initially meet people the say ' hey what's your religeon? '
What matters here is that there is five activists on trial soon for trying to stop Genocide. Literally [sic] happening via Shannon Airport with the Governments knowledge!
Forget the bitchin, the name confusion and look at the issues here. These people have been awaiting trial for nearly three years.
THATS THREE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES!
Who cares what they call themselves. Whether they dress in sackcloth or silk has no relevance. their action says it all. If more people defended our neutrality in this way then all that crap at Shannon would have stopped by now!
Who's country is it after all?
