Despite that, Fianna Fáil chooses to weaken what should be an all-party motion. I appeal to our shared values. No one has a monopoly on morality on issues like this. We know what is happening in Palestine. I spoke to Senator Colm Burke, who was particularly passionate about Palestine, a number of weeks ago. This issue does not belong to Sinn Féin, the Labour Party or the civic engagement group. It belongs to all of us. We should do better in this Chamber than to step back and have divisive votes when there is nothing in this motion, which was drafted in good faith by Senator Norris, to which any of us could object. If we cannot stand united on this gross interference with a peaceful campaigning organisation and avoid a walk-through vote, shame on us. That is all that I have to say.
