‘Gaza Action Ireland’ protesters outside the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin this evening to protest against the on going conflict in Gaza.
“In my professional opinion, the ongoing attacks on medics in Gaza clearly constitute a war crime that cannot be justified and warrant immediate referral to the International Criminal Court. I call on our government to demand an apology from the Israeli ambassador or to expel him.”
Professor Damian McCormack, a surgeon at the Mater this evening.

I served three tours in Lebanon back in the late 80’s,early 90’s…the IDF where the most vile basterds on the planet to deal with.I developed a hatred for them that would make me ill with temper…but as years passed i met Israelis who would tell their side.I began to build a tolerance and understanding of them and the situation in Israel/Gaza…
That hatred is back.F**k them and their propoganda.
I hate them too, evil bullies that they are. I’d like a list of their products to boycott. Well done Kinvara.
Having successfully targeted vulnerable women and children in schools, disability clinics and hospitals should the IDF consider renaming their offensive ‘Operation Jimmy Savil’?
I shouldn’t laugh but Ha ha
These Israeli war criminals don’t give a sh*t what the rest of the world thinks – as long as the US keeps footing their munitions bill.
Interesting comment I heard recently from an American; ‘Israel have the right idea. Stop it before it spreads. Nobody’s flying planes into Israeli buildings’.
World is really screwed up by Imperialism.
Israel…so hot right now.
No such thing as bad PR.
And those PR people!! So well groomed and that perfect English, so moreish.
Israel, Israel, Israel, the country where I want to be,
Gaza trekking or camping
Or just watching tunnels,
Israel, Israel, Israel,
It’s the country for me
You’re so near to Turkey
So far from Iran
Quite a long way from Dublin
Lots of miles from Vietnam
Israel, Israel, Israel,
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Israel, Israel, Israel,
Israel has it all
You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to America
When going abroad
Israel, Israel, Israel,
The country where I quite want to be
Your kibbutz’ so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Israel, Israel, Israel,
Israel has it all
Oh focus on Israel friends
Israel, Israel, Israel,
Israel has it all, Israel has it all.
yeah yeah yeah . . .yawn ! (my mouth opens wide, andeye sigh a sad sigh and ask why? . . that these folks havva hate for Allah at eight but choose to ignore it and i, think to myself is there nobody else to explain just how the Jews die?)
. . . and thatz it, a fashionable cause by Stephens Green onna sunnie Thursday evening, as Cicero says:
“a tear dries quickly when it is shed for the troubles of others”
Anyone know about the link between marks and spencer and Israel? How big is the connection there?
This is why it is easy to stray into the realm of antisemitism. All the Jewish people I have met, have all been mad keen on Israel. And very supportive of its ethnic cleansing policies. So yes, when I was in England, there was a joke that a goy could only rise so far up the management ladder at M&S.
Though also famously, whilst we are discussing UK chain stores, the heiress of the Tesco fortune, who was the Conservative leader of Westminster Council, was found guilty of gerrymandering, which is serious stuff. She had to do a runner to Israel. To avoid jail and mega fines.
They used to say that every pack of M & S underpants bought a bullet .
Oh that’s interesting. I bought a jacket recently in M&S, it’s going back.
Any one have a link to major Israeli goods?

Isn’t a very high % of the soda steam factory Palestinian workers? Not sure I remember seeing something about it somewhere
Come on get real, you sound as petulant and puerile as Ian O’Doherty, who suggested that we should stop using our electronic equipment. – Coz unspecified Israeli patents – durrr
Israel evil. I like this mature and well articulated grasp on foreign policy. from the country that sent a condolences note after Hitler’s passing. Keep up the good work christian youths.
I was waiting for that beauty to reappear – it’s been a while.
Deactivate your facebook accounts to show solidarity with the people in Gaza
The biggest vendor of network security equipment is an Israeli company based in Israel. American government agencies won’t use them. But nearly every other large corporate network in the world would use one of their products in one way. If the NSA have a back door into private and corporate networks you can imagine having your own product in the environment would make it easier
