International Women's Day: Statements (5 Mar 2024)

Imelda Munster: ...women in Gaza, who are living in hell on earth. Their conditions are indescribable. It is like nothing we have seen before in our lifetime.

Gaza and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2024)

Imelda Munster: The horrors Israel has been committing in Gaza since October are frankly indescribable.

Imelda Munster: The murder of reporter Shireen Abu Akleh by the Israeli military must be condemned in the strongest terms and called out for what it is, namely, cold-blooded murder. Her murder was barbaric and there are no other words for it.

Imelda Munster: ...like roads, electricity and water networks. There is nothing new in that. The Palestinian people are forced to live under an apartheid regime. Gaza is an open-air prison enforced by the Israeli occupier. The Palestinian people are subjected to blockades, checkpoints, a lack of access to basic amenities like water and electricity and every possible abuse of human rights imaginable. ...
