Why Jews for Palestine Ireland strongly oppose the incoming Irish government’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, in two threads:
We are calling on solidarity groups and activists to aid this protest in support of Daniel and the rest of the Ulm 5, on trial in Germany for peacefully disrupting an Elbit Systems centre responsible for providing arms to Israel in their ongoing Gaza genocide.
"The death toll, which was expected to rise as more bodies were found, was higher than Beirut’s 2020 port explosion – one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in human history."
"The flood of wounded came after Israel bombed more than 100 targets across Lebanon in those 10 minutes on Wednesday, killing more than 300 people and wounding 1,165, according to an initial count by Lebanon’s civil defence."
"The EU-Israel Association Agreement requires adherence to human rights - a standard that Israel has definitively breached over several decades, all the more blatantly with this new law. As Global Jews for Palestine, we demand that the EU suspend its Association Agreement."
Global Jews for Palestine are calling for sanctions on Israel in response to their new death penalty laws, a new stage in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
"Irish Fascists would ask me, what right do you have to question Ireland's actions and policies, you brown thing. Well so long as bombs and supplies destroying my people move through your country, I have no choice but to ask."
