Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, RISE) | Oireachtas source

What is happening in Gaza has been described as "a macabre game of Battleship". There are these tiny squares of territory where Israel says it will bomb a square, the inhabitants have to leave and if they do not leave, they will be killed and it will not be Israel's fault. Palestinians are forced to move from one tiny square to another again and again, in what is clearly an attempt at a new Nakba, or new catastrophe, to drive the Palestinians out of Gaza.

More than 16,000 Palestinians have now been murdered, including more than 7,000 children. I saw a quote from a man who had moved from Gaza City with his family to somewhere else and then to Khan Younis. He moved three times. He asked, "Why did they eject us from our homes in Gaza if they planned to kill us here?" Therefore it is not enough to have words of criticism. We need to have action. I want to follow up on the point that Richard Boyd Barrett was making about HP. HP has a huge number of computers in the Oireachtas. It is entirely complicit in Israel's apartheid regime. Does the Taoiseach not think it is appropriate that we stop using Hewlett-Packard in this place? Does he think it is appropriate that we would fly the Palestinian flag? We have been flying the Ukrainian flag for almost two years now. We should fly the Palestinian flag over this House.
