It has taken years to get to this point, even though the law was ready to be passed several governments ago. They have delayed, prevaricated and distracted since then cos they are afraid of the consequences from the US. Hopefully it isn’t watered down beyond use (already services aren’t covered☹️)

So proud of Ireland, this news makes me Irish eyes smiling, hoping it will make things greyer for Dr. Moreau, I mean dictator Benji arf, arf Netanyahu-hu-hu.

This Palestinian flag is one of many dotted around Ireland. Spontaneously hung up by Irish people disgusted by the treatment of Palestine - we know what it is like to be colonised.

I took this photo this morning, on the way to work.

This is a powerful and dignified expression of solidarity. The Irish people's empathy with Palestine reflects a shared history of suffering. The colonial experiences of both nations have enabled them to understand each other's pain.

Your photo and the message behind it are a beautiful example of the collective struggle for humanity, justice, and freedom.

Everyone who respects others deserves respect.

Many people in power and their supporters are more interested in selfish gain rather than collective development, quality of life & respect in its many guises; for individuals, cultures, nations, humanity now & into the future!

There is no planet B!

I congratulate Ireland 🇮🇪 on taking a stand, rejecting the genocide in Gaza

What about banning trade with countries that support Sharia law and Jihadists?

None of them are committing a genocide as far as I know. But even if you are a genocide denialist, but think religious fundamentalist theocratic societies with KKK-type vigilantes and thugs running the show are unworthy to be trade partners, then Israel today is exactly that.

At last. Someone actually taking some action!

It sad to see that Israel failed to follow the lead Jesus (who was born Jewish) walked during his day. Jesus thanked the Palestinians for accepting him ( an immigrant) into their land and treating him so well. Now the same Jews as Jesus want to steal the land from the Palestinians and kill them 🤨😒
