I keep thinking how crazy it would be if an Arab country kept 2.3 million Jewish people in a cage, half children, cut off their electricity & water then indiscriminately bombed them. Beyond comprehension the anti-Muslim bigotry that makes the world applaud this as justified
Do not stay at Leonardo hotels (formerly Jurys in Ireland). They are owned by David Fattal, an Israeli billionaire.
Boycott all israeli goods and services. Every coin is a bullet or bomb. Shut them down.
The neverending row about The Wolfe Tones has reminded me inadvertently of Emma Groves, a mother of 11 from Belfast, who was shot in the face at point-blank range for daring to play Tommy Makem's 'Four Green Fields' when an army patrol passed down her street.
