What's happening today in
#Gaza
has not occurred out of thin air.
Its a direct result of years of apartheid, murder and inhumane treatment of
#Palestine
Also a result of Ireland and EU not holding Apartheid Israel accountable for ongoing abuse of Intl Law.

🇵🇸🇮🇪
I strongly condemn the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and attacks against Israel from Gaza. I deeply regret the loss of life and the impact on civilians. I call for an immediate cessation of all hostilities.
Today,
@POTUS
visited Leinster House, and acknowledged the positive impact of the Peace Process in Ireland that the US helped build.
We need to see the US helping to build a genuine Peace Process in
#Palestine
Ireland has shown the possibility of building a lasting peace.
Today, Hamas terrorists have struck at the heart of Israel capturing and killing innocent women and children.
Israel has the right to defend itself - today and in the days to come.
The European Union stands with Israel.
Without Justice there can be no Peace….
The Israeli Ambassador must be expelled.
The Occupied Territories Bill must be passed.
@vonderleyen
must go.
Netanyahu is a war Criminal
#Israel

Very very disappointing that Irish Football icon Robbie Keane would sign up with racist and apartheid Israeli club

Keane is in a position to set example and Boycott Apartheid but chose not to!!

sniper shot Razan al-Najjar, 21-year-old paramedic.
Shot through the chest and through her white coat which clearly marked her as a paramedic..
Razan was wilfully killed, making her murder a grave breach of the Geneva Convention and a war crime.

Can’t help feeling that Vera Pauw has been treated poorly.
Pauw lead this group to a World Cup and performed well.
Big part of the transformation of Women’s Football and next manager takes over a really strong squad.
Although new manager will have to be careful of some players.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has reported that 20 Palestinians, including 9 children, have been killed by Israeli air strikes today.
At least 65 others have been injured.
The Israeli Ambassador to Ireland should be expelled.

Robbie Keane says he is a football man and isn’t in Israel to discuss politics so maybe he can find out why Israel blocked young footballers from

I unequivocally condemn the attack carried out by Hamas terrorists against Israel.
It is terrorism in its most despicable form.
Israel has the right to defend itself against such heinous attacks.
As manager at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Robbie Keane will presumably be obliged to field teams against clubs based in illegal Israeli colonial settlements.
This will normalise and legitimise what UN regards as "a flagrant violation of international law".

Two weeks ago Leo Varadkar bashed NPHET for recommending a 4 week level 5 lockdown.
Now we have a level 5 lockdown for 6 weeks.
Unusually he is quiet now....!!
The level of Arrogance from this Government is breathtaking.

Israeli forces have killed eight Palestinians in a large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank in what the army labelled an "extensive counterterrorism effort" involving drone strikes and hundreds of troops | Read More:

It was important to highlight the significance of future investment into

This investment is crucial if we are to have future success at Men's & Women's Senior International level - particularly post Brexit.

Out of 1000 hours of sport on RTE in 2023…League of Ireland Football will get 44 hours …..this is abysmal from our National Broadcaster who will show more foreign matches than our own League.
We need to invest in Irish Football. ⚽️🇮🇪
Today, former TD Alan Shatter claimed in Dail Committee that my position reflects that of Hamas... the destruction of Israel.
He is wrong.
However he supports Israeli destruction of Palestine with land grabs....annexation, bullets and bombs.

The Sinn Fein motion of no confidence will give several Fianna Fáil TDs who have been expressing how uncomfortable they are with how the Taoiseach has allowed the Tánaiste to evade accountability on leaking a chance to step forward and show if they are serious or just positioning
Ireland needs to recognise Palestine as an independent State.
Government wants a two State solution but only recognises one State.....thats the racist Aprtheid State of Israel.
Today in Parliament I raised this with Government.

I feel that the negativity and attacks by FF & FG and friends in old media are more about getting their members to support FF FG deal. Whipping many members into a frenzy and the FF/FG deal becomes a case for "saving the country from awful SF!!"
