It is precisely the rights and wrongs of what is happening that we should be getting into before we take any stance on international relations. The Minister of State is aware that the UN General Assembly has called on Israel to desist from changing the physical character, demographic composition, institutional structure and legal status of the occupied Syrian Golan, and in particular to desist from the establishment of settlements, imposing Israeli citizenship and Israeli identity cards on the Syrian citizens of the occupied Syrian Golan and from its repressive measures against the population of the occupied Syrian Golan. Yet we have evidence that this is precisely what is being done in that region as Irish Defence Forces personnel stand by, in essence helping Israeli oil companies to illegally expropriate the natural resources of another country. That is not just wrong; it is dangerous and action needs to be taken to stop it.
