Unfortunately, this is true. Ireland is not doing enough to halt the genocide of our fellow humans in Palestine. Ireland (ie our government which includes @dfatirl , @Dept_Transport, @MichealMartinTD, @EamonRyan, @SimonHarrisTD, @IrishMissionUN ) must stop wringing its hands and

Enough. @Israel must be expelled from the @UN, and @Palestine_UN recognised, and those who wish to live in Palestine, of whatever religion or cultural background be allowed to do so in peace, without discrimination, policed, for the near future at least, by UN blue helmets. There

Madame President, you do not represent me nor most Europeans. Please stop speaking as if you do. When you say ‘we’ you need to add, ‘unelected politicians and our lobbyist friends and some Europeans who prefer war to peace’. Thank you.

The time for words is long past. You need to do now what you can as Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs. For example some or all of: shut Shannon Airport for foreign military use, cancel all visas for Israeli passport holders in Ireland (except ambassador), refuse to issue

Very very disappointing. More words. No action. Surely you could have added some concrete Irish government actions. Such as : 1. issuing arrest warrants for these men. 2. withdraw visa free status for all Israeli passport holders. 3. close @ShannonAirport for foreign

@jeremycorbyn is the true leader of socialism in the UK, it is such a pity that @UKLabour members don’t appear to see that. PM Starmer unfortunately, through his actions, appears to lack Mr Corbyn’s moral compass and looks to be a friend of capitalists and warmongers and not to

You have not prevented escalation. Instead you and your warmongering buddies at @NATO have succeeded in ensuring that a generation of brave Ukrainians have perished and the lives of millions altered for the worse. And for what purpose? Your man and womanpower would be better

With sadness one can only reply: if you do have any Christian friends then they are Christian in name only. Christmas for Christians is a time for peace and goodwill to all men.

Ah please! @Israel no longer abides by the charter. So please, stop tolerating as you say you will, and just submit or support a @UN general assembly motion suspending Israel’s membership of the UN. Without a ‘state’ of @Israel, peace can come to Palestine. Thank you.

That is so sad news. John Pilger - a real journalist, an example of the sort of journalist the world needs so badly now. The world owes him such a huge debt of gratitude. May he rest in peace.

Minister, @Israel no longer abides by the @UN charter. Therefore, to help bring peace to #Palestine, you can instruct @IrishMissionUN to cooperate with missions from @NorwayMFA , @SpainUN and @SLOtoUN in submitting a resolution at @UN which suspends @Israel's membership, and with

Perhaps the @europeangreens have lost their way, and mislaid their values? And perhaps Irish Greens are much closer to Boston than Berlin in their wish for world peace, and to save our planet and grandchildren from the existential disaster that is #ClimateChange? For these are
