๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชโœŠ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธMurals of Resistance: A Canvas of Solidarity in West Belfast

In the heart of West Belfast, murals vividly narrate the intertwined sagas of Irish and Palestinian resistance. They are more than mere art - they are emblazoned echoes of a historic kinship, a testament to the indomitable spirit that binds the Emerald Isle to the heart of the Levant. Each mural unfolds a chapter of shared legacy, its hues vibrant with valour and somber with struggle, reverberating with the age-old cry for justice.

The potent depictions of โ€œResistanceโ€ captivate every observer, reflecting the unyielding hope and stoic defiance against oppression. These faces of resilience, depicted with bold strokes, narrate tales of a relentless quest for freedom. They bear the stark reminder of historic injustices inflicted upon the Palestinian populace, transcending language barriers to etch the grievous narrative into the hearts of those who pause to observe.

The robust fabric of solidarity binding the Irish to the Palestinians is profoundly mirrored in these murals of West Belfast. They serve as a canvas where empathy and insurgency intertwine, resonating with a spirit of kinship that defies the cruel partitions of geopolitics. This open-air gallery narrates the enduring Irish-Palestinian alliance, where each stroke of paint is a line in the ballad of brotherhood, each colour a testament to shared aspirations, adversities and hope for a just peace.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israel reconsidered its original plan regarding a ground assault targeting Hamas in Gaza after receiving advice from American officials, including Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin, a US report has claimed. The initial blueprint for an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza to go after Hamas ostensibly left US officials โ€œalarmed.โ€

Subsequent brainstorming between the two allies prompted Israel to refrain from a full-scale invasion of the enclave in the wake of Hamasโ€™ attack on October 7, US sources were cited as saying.

As a result of โ€œwar planningโ€ between Israel and top US officials, the IDF was prompted to embark upon โ€œmore limited ground incursionsโ€ into Gaza, in line with a โ€œphasedโ€ approach, as per the report.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’”An Odious Silence: The Blood of Gazaโ€™s Children on Global Conscience

In a stark revelation, Save the Children has exposed a grim realityโ€”the children's death toll in Gaza over 3 weeks has eclipsed annual global figures since 2019. The appalling count stands at 3,324 since October 7, alongside 36 in the West Bank. Compared to the 2,985 children lost across 24 nations in 2022, a grave humanitarian crisis unveils. Jason Lee, representing the besieged Palestinian territories, vehemently calls for a ceasefire, the faintest of hopes amidst this macabre nightmare.

Amid this backdrop of death and despair, the Israeli military aggression not only persists but intensifies. Gaza recently endured a nearly complete communication blackout amidst heavy bombardment, an instance of the continuous plight the innocent face daily. Further distressing is the report of 1,000 children missing, feared to be entangled in the rubble, their fate unknown. The total fatalities in Gaza have surged past 8,000, with children constituting a staggering 40% of this grim tally. Over 6,000 children bear the scars of war, their bodies a living testimony to the relentless violence they have had to cruely endureโ€‹.

The West, notably the Biden admin and the EUโ€™s Von der Leyen cannot absolve themselves from the horrors of this catastrophe. Their reticence and failure to to broker a ceasefire underscore a loathsome contempt for human life. The odious hypocrisy displayed is not only a blatant disregard for international law but a gross betrayal of the sancity of innocent lives he siege on Gaza, cutting off vital supplies and healthcare, shrieks of war crimes, a narrative whitewashed by the West, their silence a tacit endorsement of the bloodshed.

As the tally of innocent children lost spirals, the question that looms large isโ€”how many more childrenโ€™s cries will be stifled before the world acts? The dire need for a just peace reverberates across the globe, a plea for humanity to prevail over geopolitical vendetta.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The House of Representatives is considering separating emergency military funding for Israel from that for Ukraine and US border security, House Foreign Affairs Chair Michael McCaul said.

A Republican-sponsored bill that aims at decoupling aid to Israel from other issues is slated to hit the floor this week. If passed, it will see the US funnel $14.3 billion to Israel and unlock supplies of equipment from US stockpiles.

"What we want to do is โ€” because the need is so urgent now in Israel โ€” is to start with Israel first as a separate measure, and we will have that on the House floor this week," McCaul told in a televised interview.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งFatal Assault on Press: Israeli Strikes Target Journalists in Lebanon?

In what appears to be a grave assault on press freedom, a strike near the Israel-Lebanon border claimed the life of Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah and injured six other media personnel, according to Reporters Without Borders. The journalists, clearly marked as press, were in southern Lebanon covering clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. The lethal strike, suspected to emanate from the Israeli side, was condemned as a deliberate act to silence the media. RWB points to a pattern of "repeated atrocities" against journalists, shedding light on the perilous conditions for media workers covering the ongoing conflictโ€‹.
