Big crowd waiting at airport for return of the brave Irish participants in the Gaza Flotilla. If only our government had the guts & principles of these activists we would have sanctions on the terrorist state of Israel that would be real solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 https://t.co/KVZfKI9bpT #GazaFlotilla #FreePalestine #Solidarity #IE #PS #IL

If you are so "appalled and shocked" by the treatment of the flotilla activists why did the government walk into the Dáil after issuing this statement and vote against sanctioning Israel when the same flotilla activists had explicitly called on you to support the sanctions bill? #Flotilla #Israel #Sanctions #IL

Shameful! FF, FG & Ind government publicly condemn Israeli regime for kidnap and abuse of Gaza flotilla on tv & radio,then vote(77-62) against the bill to sanction Israel that flotilla activists asked them to support. Media has a public service obligation to expose this duplicity https://t.co/4NHMTRCP2X #GazaFlotilla #Israel #MediaAccountability #IL #PS

Utter hypocrisy, from the Taoiseach and the government. Say they are "appalled"but are now voting against our bill to impose sanctions on the Israeli regime that kidnapped and is abusing our citizens and those on Gaza flotilla. @rte should not allow this to go unchallenged #hypocrisy #sanctions #GazaFlotilla #IL #GA

Israel has attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers, including Irish civilians, in international waters en route to bring aid to Gaza Unless major pressure is applied, our government will continue to be complicit and support Israel’s absolute impunity. We need sanctions. #FreeGaza #HumanRights #SanctionsNow #IL #IE #PS

Israel has once again attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers in international waters for attempting to bring food to Gaza. A state that starves a people, attacks aid missions and commits genocide has no legitimacy whatsoever. Israel’s impunity must end. We need sanctions #EndIsraeliImpunity #GazaUnderSiege #HumanRights #IL #PS

Shocking slight of hand being performed by government this minute in Dáil under guise of an "innocent" Industrial development bill government smuggle in effort to facilitate & hide war profiteering, genocide complicity and an attack on Irish neutrality. Will speak now to explain #IndustrialDevelopment #WarProfiteering #IrishNeutrality #IE

Absolutely shameful, Irish government approves a huge surge of exports to the Israeli military in the midst of its genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. #Ireland #Palestine #HumanRights #IE #IL #PS

People Before Profit will be supporting the No confidence motion in the government. They have failed abysmally to protect workers and ordinary people from the cost of living crisis, now escalating because of Trump and Israel's murderous and illegal warmongering. @MichealLehane -
