I just explained it: the state are the state - the regime, the people are the people.
They should be removed from office. How on earth are you opposed to that?
RTE have been disgraceful over the last 3 weeks. Reporting IDF press releases as fact, walking around Tel Avivdoing vox pops asking Israelis if the Irish government have hurt their feelings by calling for a ceasefire.

They should have more sense. Still at least the Irish have done more to condemn this barbarity than most other nations.
Your post can easily be read another way.
The Irish people have, I'm not so sure about politicians. Fianna Fail unbelievably the Israeli Ambassador at their Ard Fheis yesterday. But in the main they've at least been on the right side of history.
Michael D Higgins is a brilliant president who always reflects pretty well the state of the nation.

Well, just for clarity's sake, the 1939 date was to indicate that nazi germany's leaders were dealt with.

I'd have expected that off the Fine Gael blue shirts.
Varadkar is a populist and knows what way the wind is blowing. Michael Martin on the other hand just hates SF. The timing of having the Israeli Ambassador there the day after SF called for her expulsion is interesting.
He said state, and 1939 refers to start of ww2. If Dave said Jews, I have a massive problem with that, but I would assume here he's just referring to the genocidal war machine that is the current fascist govt?

Found this on BBC site
- The Republic of Ireland's foreign minister has described Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip as "disproportionate"
- Micheál Martin was speaking at the opening of Fianna Fáil's annual conference on Saturday
- The party leader said the violence in the region was unjustified and reiterated calls for an immediate ceasefire
- However, he stopped short of calling for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador in Ireland, adding that it was a "populist" view
Tánaiste (Irish deputy prime minister) Micheál Martin was speaking at the opening of his party's annual conference on Saturday.
More than 9,000 people have been killed in Gaza as Israel carries out strikes after Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented assault on 7 October.
Mr Martin said the ongoing offensive in the region was unjustified and agreed with Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Leo Varadkar who called the attacks “something approaching revenge"
TBH I still, reluctantly, would agree that diplomatic relations should be maintained.
It is a very serious matter to move to breaking off diplomatic relations with another state no matter how odious.
As previously posted, Russia is a clear example.

Are sure about this DBN?
This is MM on Friday before the Árd Fheis.
I would be astounded if she was invited or even if she was, that she would attend mate.
Tánaiste to speak with Israeli Ambassador and says calls for her expulsion are 'not responsible'
Martin said Sinn Féin’s statement on the issue was “playing to a populist agenda”.
