@@cianwalsh439 Because Never in the history of mankind Has a regime used its own civilians as human shields, not even the nazis This is a urban warfare that is unprecedented in history. The Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, John Spencer, Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history,” he posted on LinkedIn. His studies reveal that the ratio of enemy belligerent deaths to civilian deaths in Gaza is on the order of 1 to 1.0-1.5. Others estimate that ratio to be on the order of 1 to 2. World famous historian Lord Andrew Roberts gave a compelling expose in the House of Lords to the same effect. In similar urban terrain in Mosul, Iraq, from 2016 to 2017, the ratio was 1 to 2.5

It's purely tactical, and a gesture of extreme petulance. They may also have been worried about the embarassment of the ambassador being expelled, which was not going to happen.

@ Yes, USMC 1953-1981. I follow what is happening in Israel and Gaza closely, including the history of PLO/Hamas. It’s been obvious the hostile anti-Israel mobs in the UK and Éire have ‘taken’ the soup. While rockets have been used by both sides for several years; it was what Hamas initiated and executed on October 7th that was the catalyst for the present hostilities. By the way I don’t think the IDF bombarded the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (what casualties took place?). Fad saoil duit!

According to the department, Ireland has never issued passports in those names.[71] While the names and signatures were fake, the numbers on the passports were genuine, and belong to Irish citizens.[5] Four of the five citizens have been contacted by the Department of Foreign Affairs, all of whom live in Ireland; none of them have travelled to the Middle East, lost their passports or had them stolen.[5]
Ireland said it's for human rights and so do all these commenters. So how often have they demanded Hamas release hostages and told Hamas to recognize Israel.
THE IRISH GOVERNMENT has once again called for the release of hostages in Gaza, one year on from the 7 October terror attacks in Israel led by militant group Hamas. The attacks by Hamas resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people, mostly civilians, according to official Israeli figures. More than 240 hostages were taken, 97 of whom remain unaccounted for. Tánaiste Micheál Martin said: “The horror of these attacks remains imprinted in our minds. I reiterate Ireland’s unequivocal condemnation of them. “I think today of the hostages still in Gaza and their families who desperately want them home. I call again for their immediate release.” Taoiseach Simon Harris joined Martin in his call, saying: “I repeat my call that all remaining hostages must be released immediately and without conditions.”
Ireland's narrative has been very consistent. They've condemned hamas and demanded the release of all hostages on hundreds of occasions. They've also repeatedly said they're in favour of a two state solution.
@Steven-kr2ti On hundreds of occasions, I don't believe that for a second. What about Hamas recognizing Israel in my original comment? The fact they won't is the entire source of conflict. Where were the Irish government's hundreds of comments on Palestinian rights the last 18 years as Hamas held power as a proscribed terrorist organization violently suppressing dissent?
Our virtue signalling continues. This brings absolutely zero benefit to Ireland and some potential problems but of course many politicians feel satisfied with themselves.

It's not hard to see in the comments below exactly what's mentioned in the interview, most of the people comment anti-israeli rather than pro-palestinian statements. I'm not defending or blaming anyone, and of course nobody is pro-war, but just pointing exactly what the interview is about.
Is it wrong to be anti-israel,a country founded on ethno-nationalism by destroying its previous inhabitants lives and that still continues to this day without any remorse or retrospective on how its former and current conduct is causing millions of people from neigbouring countries to suffer.I am not for abolishing Israel as a state,I know that if I was to reason that Israel should cease to exist based on history almost every nation state would also fall under the same logic. What I am for is Israel to stop its killing spree its doing like some crazed lunatic and basically implementing a "hunger plan" on the Palestenian Population over the past decade.Only lunatics that belong on asylums think it is okay to burn entire countries and ethnic groups to end terrorism or protect your people.If that is the justification Hamas,ISIS,Al-quada,Nazis,Imperial Japanese,what wrong did any of them do?
Most of people are sincerely scandalised from the Israeli blood thirst and violence, that's a fact. Don't you have a soul screaming what is true and what is not, or your senses are all blocked?
*Hamas does that. Israel is sending leaflets, personally call residents and does more warnin than any other army in recorded History. Also, why is Ireland the only E.U country to not Condemn The Saudis war in yemen killing 300,000? No Jews no news - Antisemitism
There has been an underlying level of antisemitism in Ireland for many years now being openly expressed by Harris and Martin. The lack of empathy by officials of the Irish government for Israel and its people is reprehensible and nauseating.
Ireland does not speak for peace and International Law by distorting International Law. Shame on the Irish Government: so blinded by distorted ideology.
Ireland is just using international law as it was meant to be used, the ICC issued an indictment so the case has merit. Normally in these cases intent is hardest to prove and it is essential but the Israelis themselves gave that, with their statements calling for Gaza to become like Dresden and calling for annihilation.
What you are saying against Ireland are the things idiots shameless ,arrogant people say because their ignorance and brainwashed state dictates their lives,you are a sad case.
What a load of rubbish, the actions of Israel towards the Palestinian people for decades and it's actions in Gaza today, has been disgraceful, that's what Ireland has criticised, that's not antisemitism, that's saying it as it is, the problem with Israel, is that it expects people to say they're right on everything, even though they're not

Coming from Ireland and living in Europe I'm very uncomfortable about the country's inability to manage a balanced political opinion and supporting a toxic environment towards Israel and Israelis. It makes Ireland look as irrelevant politically within Europe.
Ireland's position is in line with the UN, ICC and humanity. In fact, contrary to your opinion, Israel's diplomatic failure here has made Ireland more politically relevant than ever.
@@willwill8963 you mention humanity but fail to mention the lack of humanity by Hamas and the majority of Palestinians who support them, wow. That’s low
When Lebanon fires thousands of missiles at a sovereign state for a year without provocation, Ireland says nothing. When Israel enters Lebanon to stop the aggression, the President of Ireland declares that Israel is trying to occupy Lebanon (without any factual basis other than an attempt to defame Israel), of course, in the meantime an agreement has been signed for Israel to leave Lebanon. But the ignoring of any harm to Israel and the aggressive response to any response from Israel shows that Ireland does not want peace, but the end of the Jewish state.

There is an refusal to apply common sense and basic facts. Ireland should address it's own history and stop conflating it with what is happening in the Middle East. I feel that the identification with the Palestinian cause is tangled up in Irelands history with the British. It would make more sense to address one's own history than conflate: Israel=Britsh colonizers and Palestinian = Irish. This metaphor does not work. We are talking about different times, places and histories. One should be aware of one's own complex history before somehow superimposing it onto a completely different conflict that one knows nothing about. The fact that Hamas once again praised the Irish government ought to be enough to make politicians take stock.
Nobody is conflating it with Irish history what are you on about ? People draw parallels between the two as both situations are of an oppressed group of people under the thumb of an occupying force we are just doing what they call empathising.

I wasn't asked what my opinion was towards Israel and Palestine. No one was. Our government made a diplomatic decision free of any public poll or vote.

Yes Ireland has acknowledged what happened on oct 7th however we also support the Palestinian people and want a cease fire. Two things can be correct at same time... when were the most hostages returned??? When there was a cease fire....
Don't be a liar. We in Ireland acknowledge what happened on October 7th. Both the people and the government.

The Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, John Spencer, Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history,” he posted on LinkedIn. His studies reveal that the ratio of enemy belligerent deaths to civilian deaths in Gaza is on the order of 1 to 1.0-1.5. Others estimate that ratio to be on the order of 1 to 2. World famous historian Lord Andrew Roberts gave a compelling expose in the House of Lords to the same effect. In similar urban terrain in Mosul, Iraq, from 2016 to 2017, the ratio was 1 to 2.5

It’s been obvious the hostile anti-Israel mobs in the UK and Éire have ‘taken’ the soup.

Ireland said it's for human rights and so do all these commenters. So how often have they demanded Hamas release hostages and told Hamas to recognize Israel.
THE IRISH GOVERNMENT has once again called for the release of hostages in Gaza, one year on from the 7 October terror attacks in Israel led by militant group Hamas.
The attacks by Hamas resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people, mostly civilians, according to official Israeli figures.
More than 240 hostages were taken, 97 of whom remain unaccounted for.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin said: “The horror of these attacks remains imprinted in our minds. I reiterate Ireland’s unequivocal condemnation of them.
“I think today of the hostages still in Gaza and their families who desperately want them home. I call again for their immediate release.”
Taoiseach Simon Harris joined Martin in his call, saying: “I repeat my call that all remaining hostages must be released immediately and without conditions.”
Ireland's narrative has been very consistent. They've condemned hamas and demanded the release of all hostages on hundreds of occasions. They've also repeatedly said they're in favour of a two state solution.
@Steven-kr2ti On hundreds of occasions, I don't believe that for a second. What about Hamas recognizing Israel in my original comment? The fact they won't is the entire source of conflict. Where were the Irish government's hundreds of comments on Palestinian rights the last 18 years as Hamas held power as a proscribed terrorist organization violently suppressing dissent?
Our virtue signalling continues. This brings absolutely zero benefit to Ireland and some potential problems but of course many politicians feel satisfied with themselves. We get to pontificate from a safe position on the western Atlantic to a country that is surrounded by states that want to destroy it

Is it wrong to be anti-israel,a country founded on ethno-nationalism by destroying its previous inhabitants lives and that still continues to this day without any remorse or retrospective on how its former and current conduct is causing millions of people from neigbouring countries to suffer.I am not for abolishing Israel as a state,I know that if I was to reason that Israel should cease to exist based on history almost every nation state would also fall under the same logic. What I am for is Israel to stop its killing spree its doing like some crazed lunatic and basically implementing a "hunger plan" on the Palestenian Population over the past decade.Only lunatics that belong on asylums think it is okay to burn entire countries and ethnic groups to end terrorism or protect your people.If that is the justification Hamas,ISIS,Al-quada,Nazis,Imperial Japanese,what wrong did any of them do?

There is an refusal to apply common sense and basic facts. Ireland should address it's own history and stop conflating it with what is happening in the Middle East. I feel that the identification with the Palestinian cause is tangled up in Irelands history with the British. It would make more sense to address one's own history than conflate: Israel=Britsh colonizers and Palestinian = Irish. This metaphor does not work. We are talking about different times, places and histories. One should be aware of one's own complex history before somehow superimposing it onto a completely different conflict that one knows nothing about. The fact that Hamas once again praised the Irish government ought to be enough to make politicians take stock.

October 7th Irish never recognised it and the president was wearing Palestinian scarf !
Just a brazen lie. Irish politicians and people have been vocal in their condemnation of the Oct 7th attacks. Are you ignorant or just lying lol
True
It was not recognised, because, firstly the Benjamin Netanyahu knew it was coming and supported it, plus it was the actions of freedom fighters attempting to escape a concentration camp, not a terrorist attack.
Educate yourself.
@ I have reported your comment of holocaust denial
I'm very sure that we have over and over again what an awful and easily disprovable statement right on the day our Taoiseach gave a statement condemning it and hardly spoke about Palestine at all you have google right you can just read the articles on it. They haven't condemned the actions of Israel enough and bend over backwards to please the American's by not signing the occupied territories bill and allowing weapons that fuel the war crimes committed by Israel to stop at Shannon airport and move on and on the other hand try to appear to favour both sides while maintaining a clear bias.
She speaks very well. Israel is in an impossible situation and I understand that they don’t close the embassy lightly - comments on here are a joke. Ireland is going downhill fast
I agree with you many people the wrote here are so Hypocrisy. When they was when Hamas with Russia slaughtered half million syrian. Only when the tiny small state of Israel defend herself only then all the Hypocrisy started to talk. They only want that israel don't exist. We will do nothing when they firing on our cities and wait until they destroyed us. What Hypocrisy world.
thats why she was hired, so she could deliver her propaganda clearly and eloquently in a desperate attempt to legitimise war crimes
@@thomasmcd81where was you when Bashar Assad with Russia slaughtered half million syrian. And Russia have no borders with syria and syrian people don't firing rockets on Russia.

It seems though, if one has the time to seek out counterarguments to one's position, to see if your argument still holds up,. that there definitely is two sides to this story, but most people just take one side and fall into that particular echo chamber.

The growth of anti- semitism in Ireland in the past thirty years is shameful. Our political discourse has become gradually infantilised and led by increasingly immature political actors. The actions of our politicians mocking our neutrality by joining Ireland to a South African court case at the ICJ against Israel is deplorable. This was the last straw for Israel.
If you are Irish and share this sentiment, your ancestors would be ashamed of what their seed has sewn. To be Irish is to be like every other occupied nation of the world and resist occupation. End of story.
