Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Middle East (1 Apr 2025)

Matt Carthy: One of the reasons we are in the situation we are in is that, for decades, Israel flagrantly breached international law and faced no consequences. If only we could get an understanding of why the world was able to turn a blind eye for so long, but the evidence is in how the world has turned away in large part from even a genocide unfolding before our eyes. According to the United Nations,...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Middle East (1 Apr 2025)

Matt Carthy: To be clear, my question relates to the illegal Israeli settlements, so there is no need to make any distinction. The ICJ ruling is very clear.

Why then are so many people being forced to...
