Ireland considers joining South Africa's ICJ case against Israel
Ireland keeps taking Ws
I imagine having been colonized by the brits makes this a lot more personal for them
That's a strong sentiment for sure amongst most people, but it doesn't necessarily translate into action.
I'm sorry but we deserve nothing in this. Our 100 years of voting for right wing governments including this one that refuses to even call it a genocide is little to be proud of. If this even happens it will be only after a positive preliminary ruling and under pressure from liberals who sold out their children's futures to get a little more value on their house price.
Seeing the vile nihilist compradors who run the place get any credit for this just pisses me off. They're under electoral pressure from a nationalist socdem party (Sinn Féin), who themselves only sided with Palestine recently after pressure from their own base, to appear to do something. This is the barest minimum they could "consider" doing. This is no W.
You're right, it is not to be overexagerated.
But honestly partys bending to pressure from the base is amongst the best things we can hope for in a bourgeoise republic in the imperial core currently
From a German perspective the Irish situation looks like a major Win, we struggle from a completely marginalized perspective currently. Palestinian solidarity is niche and is facing huge state repression. A slim majority would probably support a ceasefire, but people are silent. All partys are Zionist.
Even the leftmost party is light years away from Palestinian solidarity, after initial dogshit reactions, they were able at some point to adopt a ceasefire stance while being booed by huge parts of the party. They don't call for a stop of German weapons exports to Israel, they call for Germany to put pressure on Qatar to, in turn, stop supporting Hamas.
Whenever we try to get them to helpnus with local ceasefire protests they make up some bullshit excuse while on a national level the criticize the gov for not pressuring Egypt enough to let the Gazans into Sinai like their only fucking job is to support Zionists in their genocide without people noticing.
And holy shit, Clare Daly, it is completely unthinkable how someone as based as her manages to be elected. I don't know what'd have to happen in Germany for that to occur
First Belgium, now Ireland. Who's next? Vote now on your phones.
How many western countries need to join this thing before people stop pretending it isn't happening?
Probably wouldn't matter if it was every single country except the US and Israel (something that comes up fairly frequently in the UN), they wouldn't change their position nor care what the ICJ says.
The UK and Germany will never, ever change their position either. They will back the Zionist entity until its end.
well on track for irish reunification of 2024
Damn I hope so...
ireland will do everything it can to spite the anglos and it is BEAUTIFUL
