The Social Democrats are also calling for expulsion of Israeli ambassador to Ireland. Very small party on about 1-2% support, but still interesting.

Also speaking at the rally, foreign affairs spokesperson for the the Social Democrats Gary Gannon outlined his motion that will be debated in the Dáil next week.

It includes a call for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador and the end of EU-Israel association agreements.

On the ambassador, he said: "You do not get to sit in this Republic and justify genocide."
 
Can I ask a question? If you call Israel baby murdering land thieves it's deemed antisemitic. What is it called if you use those same words about a different country in similar circumstances? I bet nobody would bat an eyelid.
It's not antisemitic to call them what they are.

It's a logical conclusion based on facts, not a bigoted view, based on a hatred of Jews.

The horrible thing a bout Israeli politicians is how they abuse the word antisemitism and wave it at anyone who criticises political actions and policies.

As I posted earlier, criticism of Russia is never deemed to be racism against the 77% Slav population.
 
Allowing for my ignorance, where and who was he talking to?
I don't agree with his far left politics but he is a good speaker.

I agree with most of what he said however.

I also would not break off diplomatic relations unilaterally. As previously posted Russia still has diplomatic relations with us.
 
I have to hold my hand up and say that I've been pro Isreal over the years, but what's going on at the moment has made it difficult to maintain this view point, the amount of carnage, death and destruction they have inflicted is horrifying.
That said I'm not sure what Isreal should do, Hamas are hiding amongst innocent civilians does this buy them immunity?
Are they? Not seen any proof..
 
Figured, but saw Sky News leading with this disgraceful headline.
It is terrifying to the extent that the west are pushing all pro Palestine talk as antisemitic and hate crimes especially when it seems to be against most pro talk and slogans. It seems to be imbedded within western politics to such an extent they don't need to hide it , even starmar is towing the line on the narrative. It terrifys me as well seeing anti semitism being used so freely to criticise any speech that is deemed anti Israel, which opens the door for anyone voicing support for Palestine to be commiting a hate crime.

What are western leaders outside of America so afraid of with the Jewish faith, of Israel themselves? I have a friend who in complete conspiracy fashion would always claim the Jewish run the world and based on the last month , he doesn't sound as crazy as he used to be given his much influence is being exerted it seems.
