The Taoiseach met Keir Starmer, whose government is arming Israel. He met Joe Biden. The Biden Administration is arming Israel big-time. These men have funded and armed a genocide; just look at the horrific events in Jabalia. After shaking the bloodstained hands of those men, has the Taoiseach had to wipe blood away from his own hand? He told Ryan Tubridy that he cries when he thinks about the Palestinian children. That is some bit of compartmentalisation. He cries for the children and he then shakes the hands of the men who pay for and provide the bombs that kill the kids. There have been too many lies from the Bidens and Starmers of this world and too many empty words from the likes of the Taoiseach. There can be no business as usual. This is a genocide. It is time for action, not empty words.
