The public has been repulsed by the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza, incoming Taoiseach (prime minister) Simon Harris has said.
Mr. Harris said that Ireland stands ready to recognize the Palestinian state while calling for a two-state solution.
In his keynote speech at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis* in Galway, the Fine Gael leader said the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened “before our eyes” and Ireland cannot stay silent on the actions of Israel.
“We condemn the massacre carried out by Hamas in October and again call for the release of all hostages,” Mr Harris said. “But we cannot stay silent on the actions of Israel either. Reason has been replaced by revenge and by the bombing, maiming and death of children.”
Mr. Harris criticized the Israeli government for the lack of aid being allowed to enter Gaza, describing it as a famine. …

* JFTR, Fine Gael (finna-gayle) means “Tribe of the Irish”; Ard-Fheis (ard-esh) means “high council”, equivalent to national convention.
Ireland sided with Hitler.
Screw them.

Hold on! I thought the new, progressive Ireland was all in for “the bombing, maiming and death of children.”
I’m repulsed by Ireland’s genocide against the unborn.
same old Nazi propaganda as form his predecessor in Ireland
WTF is wrong with the Irish government anyway?
Ireland should worry about how they just legalized abortion and gay marriage and flooding their country with foreigners.
A two state solution was basically in place on Oct 6.
After Oct 7, only fools support a two state solution.
October 7 was the villainous expression of the desire of the “Palestinians” for a one-state solution.
+1000
People do not seem to recognize that the ragtag bunch of squatters on Israeli territory, known as “Palestinians”, have no interest whatsoever in a “two-state” solution. If they had the least inclination to accept this outcome, the tribal leaders among them would have already formed a functioning system of governance and developed an economic system that would feed and clothe their subjects and provide opportunity for growth and expansion.
In 75 years this has never happened.
The whole notion of a “two-state solution” is an invention of the old USSR, to boot.
Send Gazans to Ireland.
What does this clown have to say about Ukraine. They are bombing nuclear power plants and have killed thousands, as the Russians have, yet I hear nothing about a cease fire there.
Now when Netanyahu or any other “right wing” Israeli politician suggests that, they actually do panic. Don’t know why, given the other jihadists that have gone there.

The Islamists have successfully positioned themselves as the underdogs. And like most liberals everywhere, it looks like the Irish are all-in for the underdog. Gotta stand up for the underdog!
Unless the underdog is a Jew, of course. That underdog is on his own.
🙁
He has to wait for orders to come down from his EU masters on the subject. Right now, he’s acting like the attack dog towards Israel, albeit a Yorkshire terrier-sized one.
They buy the “colonialist versus colonized” gobbledygook that was a staple of USSR propaganda during the Cold War, with Israel as colonizer and the “Palestinians” as the occupied people (which is an historical lie; the Arabs were always open about creating an Islamic pan-Arab caliphate).
Pretty much what I think, too.
Nothing has changed. All the old BS is back,
Looks like Ireland should be part of the two state solution.
