“Ireland could and should join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel” – Maeve O’Rourke (Galway Human Rights lecturer) plus several members of the Irish Oireachtas (Houses of Parliament)
“Ireland must make decisions for itself – as a state party to the Genocide Convention, with a responsibility to act to protect humanity” – Maeve O’Rourke
Dr Maeve O’Rourke is a lecturer in Human Rights at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, University of Galway
Left wing members of the Dublin Dáil and Seanad (Irish parliamentary Institutions) are supporting South Africa’s case against Israel under the 1948 Genocide Convention.
Direct Comparison Between Russia and Israel :
Matt Carthy TD, Sinn Féin, made a direct comparison between Israeli genocide in Gaza and Russian genocide in Ukraine :
Ireland did make a referral to the ICJ against Russia in respect of the war in Ukraine and Sinn Féin supported that position. I have to say it smacks of double standards that have been all too evident since the war in Gaza began that governments – including Ireland – made the referral against Russia now refuse to join the referral against Israel
Matt Carthy TD (Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Defence), Irish Palestine Support Campaign Press Conference, Dublin, January 10 2024
The evidence of intent to commit genocide is clear, we have it from top Israeli politicians and military, how dare we equivocate in the face of genocide, it is unacceptable that the Irish government have refused to join South Africa in its Application to the ICJ #GazaGenocide pic.twitter.com/L6uRpPGE1a

With Palestine and Ukraine – Against Russia, NATO and Israel – Greta Thunberg of Sweden leads the way – “denounces and fights both the Israeli genocidaires of the Palestinians and the Russian invaders of the Ukraine”
Ecosocialists in Ireland should follow the fine example of Greta Thunberg
Source : With Palestine and Ukraine against Russia, NATO and Israel Greta leads the way!

“And yet, despite the gloomy news, despite the rampant barbarism, despite the depression that pervades everything, there is still light and hope! And this light and this hope are the young people who are fighting at the same time on all the great fronts where humanity is measuring itself against death in its final struggle to exist: on the fronts of climate catastrophe and injustice, of Palestine and the Ukraine, on the fronts of the struggle of the poor, the oppressed and the humiliated throughout the world.”
And the most emblematic representative of this new generation resisting and counter-attacking is, of course, the young Swedish world citizen Greta Thunberg, who denounces and fights both the Israeli genocidaires of the Palestinians and the Russian invaders of the Ukraine, Putin’s obscurantist, imperialist Russia and militarist, equally imperialist NATO.

And all this against the mainstream, despite the campaign of denigration and intimidation against her, fighting against all imperialisms without choosing one imperialism against another, one executioner and his victim more than another. And, above all, systematically putting her words into practice, even if they often land her in a police station or prison, handcuffed…

Ukraine Needs Extra Aid – Everywhere, far-right forces are trying to facilitate Putin’s genocide – Oppose genocide in Ukraine and Palestine
Dublin City Council has voted unanimously to fly the Palestinian flag at City Hall on Dame Street for seven days. Great decision.
The Ukrainian flag should flutter alongside the Palestinian flag. Solidarity with the people of Palestine and Ukraine – under genocidal bombardment from the states of Israel and the Russian Federation.
