When it came to Ukraine and Putin's violation of international law, there were, correctly, multiple complaints to the International Criminal Court. Why is Israel different? Why is it that the international community cannot the state the truth that the world has seen with its own eyes? As Palestinians are massacred, why is it that Israel cannot be held to account? The Taoiseach's own words reflect the damning analysis that Israel is in repeated violation of international law. This State, the Taoiseach's Government, can make a referral to the International Criminal Court and it should. It will enjoy the support of everybody in this Chamber and the entire country if it has the courage of truth and justice to take that action.
