Well done Frances, you’re doing Ireland proud on the world stage, and it’s poetic that it is Ireland, the country which gave the world the term “boycott” that is leading the way in a peaceful protest at the *illegal* (the UN says so) occupation of Palestinian lands. And for all the catcalls of antisemitism, it is possible to support Israel and its place in the Middle East without supporting its illegal seizure of Palestinian lands.
Frances Black September?
