Opposition motions calling for a range of economic and diplomatic sanctions, including the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador in Dublin Dana Erlich, were defeated in the Dail on Wednesday evening.

Proposals for Ireland to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) were also voted down.

While the Government did not expel Russia’s ambassador after the invasion of Ukraine, it did back EU sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s regime and also referred its actions to the ICC.

    Yet, Russia is different, as it is an imperialistic power where the minorities are suppressed and their male population sent to die in Ukraine.

      Yeah, Gaza/Hamas is even worse. They’re not just imperialistic but have genocide as their main objective.
