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

Cian O'Callaghan: ...person that has been killed in Gaza has a name, a face and a story. They were people with hopes and dreams for the future they have been robbed of. The slaughter of innocent people in Gaza by Israel has been nothing short of shameful for humanity. The lack of a response from the international community has also been shameful. We need Israel to face real consequences for its savagery....

Holly Cairns: ...on the Palestinian people. It noted some facts about the Genocide Convention and the International Court of Justice. It made a simple call – to support South Africa in its efforts to hold Israel accountable for its massacre as a matter of urgency. There were other elements in our motion that the Government preferred the Dáil not recognise. We noted the disturbing...

Marian Harkin: ...in its case to the ICJ under the genocide convention. There is sufficient evidence to make this case. Initially we all condemned the brutal attack by Hamas and then the disproportionate response by Israel. Today, Benjamin Netanyahu is reported as saying to cadets that total victory is the objective. We know what this means. We need to support South Africa's case. In critical...

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

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...of agony sharply cutting through sounds of bombs and explosions. How many more innocent civilian lives must be lost before the Government acts with intent, meaning and substance? The argument that Israel and its supporters tout is that Israel has a right to defend itself. While this is true, genocide is not an act of self-defence. Collective punishment is not an act of self-defence....

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

Peter Burke: ...people, given the catastrophe inflicted by the IDF on the Gaza Strip. It is important that we remember the suffering of people in the West Bank, where there has been a surge of violence by the Israeli military and by settlers against Palestinians. We should also recall the suffering of all those who lost loved ones in the attacks by Hamas on 7 October, and those who are still held...

Michael Collins: ...destruction for the Palestinian people who have been living under a brutal siege and bombardment for more than two months. This is a war that has also threatened the security and the stability of Israel, which has faced relentless rocket attacks and terrorist infiltrations from Hamas. This is a war that has endangered the prospects of peace and justice in the Middle East, which is...

Catherine Connolly: ...Collins but if he takes the trouble to read the submission from South Africa on pages 59 to 67 it would leave him in no doubt - not about Hamas who I am on record as condemning - as to what the Israeli President, Prime Minister and all the various members of the Knesset and the army want to do. Just in case he is still in doubt and thinks it is me exaggerating, one Israeli army colonel...

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

Joan Collins: I thank the Social Democrats for introducing this important motion. It has been put to the House at a critical stage during the terror that is being imposed on the Gazan people. "Israel's military operations have spread mass destruction and killed civilians on a scale unprecedented during my time as secretary-general," are the words of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres. During...

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

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...It has been asked about this since November and has been told about its responsibilities under the genocide convention, but it is misleading the public. Palestinians are paying with their blood as Israel, in front of the eyes of the world, incites genocide, refers to Palestinians as animals and then kills them as if they were animals. The Government stands by and allows this to...

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

Mick Barry: ...far was a tweet from Dr. Panti Bliss-Cabrera: I keep thinking about only a couple months ago and all the fury and outrage and furious tweeting and angry articles provoked by *any* suggestion that Israel had bombed a single hospital - and then Israel went ahead and openly bombed *every* hospital. She put the word "every" in inverted commas but meant virtually every hospital. The press...

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

Paul Murphy: Just over two weeks ago the Taoiseach was asked whether Ireland would intervene on the side of South Africa against Israel's genocide at the International Court of Justice. He said very clearly that the Government does not intend to do so. He said, "I really think this is an area where we need to be very careful" and that genocide is "something very particular". It was a shameful...

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. I think I speak for most people when I say we watch TV screens and we cannot believe what we are watching because of the utter barbarity of it and also the fact nobody is doing anything to stop it. The civilian population of Gaza have been subject to the most depraved, indiscriminate bombing campaign in...

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

Johnny Guirke: It is just over a 100 days into the slaughter of the Palestinian people by Israel with the most sophisticated weapons in the world on an area half the size of County Louth, bombed relentlessly from the land, sea and air, and this is called a war. Some 25,000 people are confirmed dead, of whom almost 11,000 are children, 7,500 are women and almost 10,000 are missing, presumed dead under the...

Pauline Tully: Any one of the 153 states party to the Genocide Convention could have brought a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. South Africa is the only country to take this moral and principled stand and Ireland should join its genocide case against Israel. In the emergency hearing on Thursday, 11...

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

Réada Cronin: Apart from the word "genocide", words do not exist to describe the atrocities being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. There is mass murder by bombs and drones, people are crushed to death, suffocated and now there is starvation, diarrhoea, infection and dehydration. The living are maimed, disabled and blinded. There is no anaesthetic for amputations or Caesarean sections....

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

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...them children, have been killed in 100 days. Let us not pretend that this is just about Gaza. We have had 358 killings in the West Bank in 100 days. That is 30 Bloody Sundays in 100 days and the Israelis are not going to stop because nobody is telling them to stop. There are no consequences to this. Israel can do whatever the hell it likes because it has learned, over generations,...

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

Pa Daly: ...experts highlighted evidence of increasing genocidal incitement against Palestinians. This is not a war, it is a series of illegal attacks. There is only one actor causing the destruction and that is Israel. When we have indiscriminate shelling, bombing and shooting; the denial of food, water and medical care; hospitals being attacked; debates being shut down; universities being taken...

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

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...where the global structures and agreements that are meant to protect innocent people are. They have watched these structures and international agreements bend and sway to the ruthless objective of Israel to annihilate Palestinians. The document presented by South Africa to the International Court of Justice is absolutely heartbreaking to read. It includes harrowing accounts of the...

Gary Gannon: ...stand-out intervention occurred when, once again, the Tánaiste and Taoiseach were not present and the Minister, Deputy Harris, was in their place, and he iterated what is in our motion by saying that Israel is a state "blinded by rage" which was waging "a war on children". He went further and said, "You cannot build peace on the ... graves of children." Still, we are talking about a...
