Hiberno-English word/phrase of the day:

Barrack

Where I come from (Co. Galway) to barrack means to consistently interrupt a person who is speaking. In Ulster the verb means to brag, to be boastful of one's fighting powers.

Internationally speaking if you hear someone "barracking" for a team (particularly in Australia), it means to cheer them on. Conversely, in British English, it means to heckle or shout aggressively at someone.

East Jerusalem: Israel Escalating Home Demolitions, Evictions | Human Rights Watch

Discriminatory Laws Drive Forced Displacement in Silwan

Israeli authorities are accelerating home demolitions and forced evictions of Palestinian residents in the Silwan district of occupied East Jerusalem, Human Rights Watch said today. The forcible deportation or transfer of the population of an occupied territory within or outside the territory, unless justified on a temporary basis for the protection of the population itself or imperative military reasons, is a violation of international humanitarian law and amounts to a war crime.

“Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem”
― Paulo Coelho
