We in Labour Intercultural sees Israel’s aid and food blockades as a flagrant move to stop essential aid reaching a population on the verge of a catastrophic famine. We are calling for a lifting of the blockade and humanitarian aid to be allowed to flow to save lives and to prevent a humanitarian disaster. The Irish government needs to call on the EU for emergency funding action to be taken and the opening of blockades to prevent this famine from occurring.
This conundrum is happening while Ireland has recently blocked entry to Palestinian students entering Ireland to study, while at the same time Israelis including active members of the Israeli Defence Force members have visa free entry for up to 90 days unrestricted.
We are calling for a screening process to be implemented on members of persons who have been on active duty during this genocide as a matter of upholding humanitarian law and national security.
We are calling for the people of Ireland to show full support and solidarity for the Palestinians at this time and to keep pressure on our government to push the EU to act to save lives and uphold international law by holding those responsible to account.
