Yes, I fully agree. Congratulations to Ireland - I commend their action and stance to all other governments, particularly those who are sycophantic followers of the equally complicit USA.
The right side of history...................they have always been right....despite English rape, pillage and plunder. But I know what you mean. Irish history at the hands of the english is why they get this on Palestine............they have lived it.
Ireland knows brutal and arrogant occupiers and their unhinged foot soldiers only too well. Sadly, Ireland is one of the few, perhaps the only (?) western democracy not to actually support the Zionists, no matter how far they go. Shame on Starmer and the rest of them, but thanks for letting us know who and what you and your wretched governments are.
Hey Gogs what you say is true and Ireland has indeed struggled to free itself from British imperialism but as I’m sure you know our species is more than capable of terrible acts and no ‘nation’ is totally immune. Historically many recently arrived Irish immigrants signed up to join the US army’s genocide against Native Americans (see Custer’s 7th Cavalry) I guess they were just following orders and in their defence probably didn’t even know they were engaged in ethnic cleansing.
I am Irish, atheist and anti-imperial, I’m also not too keen on where advanced capitalism and the military industrial complex twinned with quasi medieval ideologies has brought us.
It's visa versa. It was US/UK who created Israel for a purpose ($$$ + resources, ie. "national interests") pumping up their delusional inflation as the "chosen people" to make them even more arrogant and brutal proxies. That tiny "state" of Israel would be nothing without gazillions of dollars every year and gazillions of weapons of death and destruction. The crumbling rogue Colonial state wreaking havoc upon all life on our precious world is us.
And Ireland is small, holds little military power, except, even so, they went immediately to help the Lebanese fight against the Israelis when no other Western power did, and they have joined with South Africa in the ICJ case against Israel's genocide. Their moral stance is another important message being sent out to the western world so afraid/bought off by the Powers That Be, and that takes courage and heart. ♥️
Yes, they should kick the Americans out - it's a pity they didn't kick the Israelis out before they did their pathetic grandstanding. Ireland has a sentimental soft spot for the USA, despite everything. I believe "Joe Biden" has Irish ancestry, so there's another US monster who would probably get a warm welcome.
"Who cares? And don’t I think Ireland does either.
It’s evident Israelis and its government live in a state of eternal delusion. As is always the case, Israelis have an over inflated sense of their own importance and value. That’s what happens when you’re the chosen race – fantasy erodes reality, eternally feeding your ignorance and stupidity."
I’m of Lebanese descent. The Irish and Lebanese are are Phoenician cousins. Our ancestral ties are strong.
I have Irish ancestry - George - that makes us cousins!

I bet people in Ireland are saying "Good Riddance!"
They are
Although it took awhile for Ireland to get to the right side of history, it is worth commending.

Israel; we are getting the ball and going home.
Ireland: by all means go home but leave the ball. It’s ours.
I hope the Irish become "trend-setters." The genocide and militarism must stop!

It's not Israel that Ireland cares about. It's Israel's American thug.

That might be, but Israel has little influence on Ireland, relative to the US.
Yes, that's true.

Everyone has Irish ancestry!
I’m not sure and no I didn’t see or hear about the doco Judy. I do know there is a series on Netflix that is about to be released.
Well said -->

Now if only Oz could grow a set and follow Eire’s brave example..
'There needs to be more countries like Ireland, willing to stand up for and uphold justice over appeasement.'
Indeed! More countries need to break away from the US's dominating influence over them.
yes, even my own in NZ now we have a guttless government....they are licking americas arse too
Couldn’t agree more Andy.
They sure have. They know the brutality of colonisation oppression and subjugation and what it creates and delivers. Utter misery!!
I’ve really done nothing special. But thank you is always appreciated. And thank you for your readership. George😊😊🎅🎅
It sure does !
