Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Brian ? ?igeartaigh:

Absolutely. I thank Senator Black for bringing this to our attention. It is stomach churning to think the Irish taxpayer and ordinary Irish people would be complicit in all of these crimes. Even leaving the genocide in Gaza aside, well over 330 Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli occupation forces and by Israel's illegal settlers in the West Bank in the past five months. It is unconscionable and impossible to stand over. It is completely unsustainable and that is why we are calling for this Bill.
