I neither like nor dislike Banville, read a couple of his novels, impressive and I see what he's doing, but they're not really my thing. Very funny that this statement absolutely constitutes him taking a stance on artists taking stands.

Banville actually takes stands himself occasionally. Notably on animal testing (against); more recently Zionism (for). He just says these things in interviews to provide a quotable line. No one should take it seriously.

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

I need to get away from my desk, writes Tim Hannigan. For the past three years I have been obsessively researching the complex history of Irelandโ€™s vanished footpaths, trying to work out how this country has ended up with probably the worst public access to the countryside in Europe: none of the โ€œright to roamโ€ in the woods and mountains that youโ€™d find in Scotland and Scandinavia; no network of rights of way along the field edges of the sort that youโ€™d encounter in France or England.

The Protestant/Unionist middle class has a lot to be ashamed of. It stays out of politics then gets horrified when as a result someone like Carla Lockhart turns up on TV. To be fair the CNR middle class isn't that much better (hence Deirdre Hargey et al) but at least it votes.

Around 1500, Hieronymus Bosch painted sheet music on a sinner's bare butt in hell. 500 years later, someone transcribed and performed it. Now you can hear the original butt song from hell.

A Palestinian bride in her wedding dress was forced to walk on foot through an iron gate at the entrance to Sinjil, north of Ramallah, because Israeli forces had closed vehicle access to the town. Footage shows her being helped across the barrier while wedding cars waited on either side. This is one example of the movement restrictionsโ€”gates, earth mounds, and closuresโ€”that affect daily life, including weddings, for residents of Sinjil and other West Bank towns.

Working on a data project and thought I'd put this map together to show just how fast the colonization of the West Bank is happening: Since Jan 2025, Israel has signed orders for 115 of the 191 settlements. In the ten years before, 39.

This is the Farsh al-Hawa area in al-Khalil, where clashes took place between two Palestinians and Israeli army soldiers stationed at a military checkpoint used to harass, humiliate, and detain Palestinians entering and leaving al-Khalil. Israel held Palestinian families living near the checkpoint responsible for the clashes and for failing to defend the Israeli military checkpoint!!! As a result, the Israeli army demolished their homes, shops, and warehouses surrounding the checkpoint and displaced the residents!
Today, 2 Palestinians, Hamouda Jaaba and Firas Jaaba (both 27), from the same family in al-Khalil, West Bank, carried out a shooting attack at a checkpoint near the city, killing 2 Israeli soldiers, Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, and wounding 3 others (according to Israeli media) The 2 Palestinians used a vehicle with Israeli license plates and were killed by Israeli army soldiers after a 20-minute gunfight, according to Israeli media. Netanyahu ordered al-Khalil sealed and a full lockdown of the West Bank, while Ben Gvir called for dismantling and disarming the Palestinian Authority. Following the shooting, the Israeli army imposed a complete lockdown on al-Khalil and surrounding villages, deployed reinforcements, closed roads, and began military operations inside the city. The Israeli army has begun demolishing Palestinian houses near the site of the shooting attack near al-Khalil, after Finance Minister Smotrich ordered their demolition. Hamas military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obaida: โ€œWe commend the heroic al-Khalil operation carried out by the brave members of our people in the occupied West Bank. We call on our people to rise up against the occupying power in defense of their Al-Aqsa Mosque and captives, to confront the aggression against the West Bank and its refugee camps, and to support their people in Gaza, who reject oppression and surrender.โ€ Video: from the shooting Photo 1: the two Palestinians Photo 2, 3: the two Israeli soldiers killed in the shooting. Video 2: The Israeli army began demolishing Palestinian buildings in al-Khalil.

The blockade of the West Bank, the siege of Hebron, the expulsion of thousands from their homes there, & the demolition of buildings & houses are not only to serve Netanyahuโ€™s fascist elections campaign, theyโ€™re primarily to implement his longstanding strategy of the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israelโ€™s criminality & cruelty know no bounds.
Hundreds of families have been in the street with nowhere to go since they were forced out of their homes by Netanyahuโ€™s thugs in Al Khaleel
