Social workers around Ireland out for Palestine today! Lots of great discussions about how to mobilize more SWs to keep talking about Palestine🇵🇸🇮🇪 @IASW_IRL @ann123fitz @cronin132 @McnallyDeirdre @aaamirak0 @niamhdoyleee @SWs4Change @Sforza_reds @pauliemccarthy @Sineadmcgar
FAO IASW members - please check your emails and vote to expel the Israeli Union of Social Workers from the IFSW @Sineadmcgar @UCDSocialPWJ @IASW_IRL @BASW_UK @BASW_NI @cuskellk
We will be representing our members at the @IFSW's Special General Meeting on 18 February to discuss the membership status of the Israeli Union of Social Workers, including potential suspension or expulsion.

We, @SW4PalestineSCW, @cgtrabajosocial, & @SkupnostCentrovZaSocialnoDeloSlovenije have responded to the @IFSW.
"[the IFSW's] statement avoids confronting the full extent of the suffering & violence inflicted upon Palestinians."

A HUGE thank you to the social workers in @SW4PalestineSCW & @IASW_IRL who wrote a forensic response to the awful statement on Gaza written by global social work body @IFSW. Irish social workers are doing what @IFSW refuse to - naming genocide & oppression of our fellow humans.
We & @SW4PalestineSCW have responded to the
@IFSW statement that we found "grossly inadequate in the face of the current crisis and does not adequately reflect the values of social work."

This a great response from @IASW_IRL and @SW4PalestineSCW
Disappointing but not surprising from @IFSW showing how far social work has fallen as a profession.
Social work was always meant to be about social change and justice, not playing politics and PR

Brilliant response by the Irish Association of Social Workers to the craven statement on Gaza issued by the International Federation of Social Workers
@ifsw 10 days ago.
@SW4PalestineSCW & ourselves have responded to the @IFSW statement that we found "grossly inadequate in the face of the current crisis and does not adequately reflect the values of social work."

Great to work alongside @IASW_IRL to respond to the @IFSW statement released. Over two years into a live-streamed genocide with mass starvation, and the @IFSW still fail to show meaningful insight into what we are witnessing.

How can we express solidarity with our social work colleagues in Gaza when we’re unwilling to acknowledge what they are going through and who is responsible?

Disappointed to see such soft, flimsy language from @IFSW. No mention of occupation, ethnic cleansing, or the starvation, crushing, orphaning, disabling & killing of innocent kids & their families. Do better @IFSW, represent the values of our profession, not the politics in it.
To our colleagues in #Gaza: Your voices echo across the world. Your suffering is not forgotten. Your work ignites the conscience of our profession and our world. In your courage, we see the essence of social work 🇵🇸 share.google/X6JqtEeoJWAFlAZ…
We’re joining this Saturday - if you’d like to march alongside us, we’ll be at Hugh Lane at 1pm! #FreePalestine #SolidarityIsAVerb #Justice

TEN CHILDREN PER DAY IN GAZA LOSE ONE OR BOTH OF THEIR LEGS.
A crime for the ages.

While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.
#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

Listen to his voice and the emotions it carries…
Calling all Social Workers and Social Care Workers (bring your family & friends!) to join tomorrow. We’re meeting at Hugh Lane tomorrow at 1pm!
@IASW_IRL @SWs4Change @cuskellk @IrishhcwforPal @Sineadmcgar @aoifedare @PearseMurphy5
The only place to be tomorrow. The great speakers and performers for our National March for Palestine on Saturday. Join us to commemorate and rage against 77 years of Nakba and to insist our government sanction apartheid Israel now. #FreePalestine #Nakba77

Eurovision is coming up and it should not be giving apartheid Israel a platform to artwash its genocidal crimes against Palestinians. Israel should be expelled, RTÉ should not go as long as it is participating. Join us Friday at RTÉ for music and speakers

Look at every child under 5 you meet today. 335,000 thousand tiny kids under 5 are now at high risk of death via starvation a/c Unicef. Israel has killed children in every way it can think of.
