While Palestine burns, Minister Coveney fiddles.

The best thing we can all do in a time like this is pick a side and enjoy the conflict vicariously from our nice safe homes, and keep an eye of the death score board… good times….

Globally nobody cares what Ireland or Coveney has to say on this issue, the UN have proven to be utterly incapable of stopping these situations, (see also Syria), while the US backs and arms Israel they will continue their land grab unchecked. An embarrassing attempt at point scoring from SF.
Shinners sniff bandwagon shock…..
Globally no-one cares but domestically I care. Why does it have to matter globally for it to matter?
I’m an Irish citizen, I want the Minister for Foreign Affairs to condemn it.
