Senior ministers concerned about effects of Occupied Territories Bill.

No tears here buddy, just a see someone tying themselves up in knots without one single cogent argument that makes sense outside of, what I only deduce, is a hatred of Islam and the people who practice it.

As for your antisemitism baseless claims - I haven't seen a single poster on here disparaging Jewish people the way you do Muslims, or extrapolating extreme Jewish terrorism and fanaticism out amongst general Jewish population of this world who, like muslims, are just trying to live their lives.

There is a western democracy, backed by the leaders of the west, currently committing genocide which most people in this country are appalled by and rightly so, yet your whole reason for being on this thread is to get people to stop talking about it. You are far from the knight in shining armour you seem to think you are.

Ah don't let your facts get in the way of their story

Terrible. What does shooting ourselves in the foot do to help people in Gaza?

Some people care, others don't, that is the truth. Same with actions against South Africa during Apartheid. It wasn't of economic benefit to go against South Africa during that time but it was worthwhile in the end.

Some people care about the livelihoods of people living in Ireland, some people don't. Is that what you are saying?

Some people care about what the Taliban and the other regimes like Hamas who follow them are doing to their female population and some don't. Is that what you are saying?

This pretence that it is only the people who are outraged about Gaza who are the only ones who care has got to end, it is untrue, it is a lie, and it insults others on this thread, and as a result, the thread descends into petty bickering.

There are no truths.

In my view FF and FG have no intention of enacting this bill. They know what side the public are on here, so came up with the lies about new AG advice and if they are in the next Govt it will be passed.

It wont be passed by a FF/FG led Govt

Very cynical stuff to basically lie to the public just so they wouldn't lose any votes, but it's to be expected

If that was the case, why did FG and FF lie to the public saying they were going to get this done in the new Govt if they were part of it?

No doubt they will get new AG advice and they will announce they are reviewing the situation. Nobody will ever see this AG advice though

I regret that Irelands leaders didnt put far more political pressure on the Nazis to cease committing genocide once they discovered what was going on (i.e. applied pressure in whatever way they could without revoking Irish military neutrality).

What do you think?

Oh, so you are happy that we only stood idly by for three years instead of the full six, fair enough. Your position is well clear at this point.

So... When genocide is being carried out, you don't want us to put political pressure on the country doing it, because we might lose jobs (as you have said previously).

But you are saying we should instead go to war with that country, risking Irish lives.

Strange pov tbh. Also I know you think our politicians have enough to be doing here without concerning themselves with wars in foreign countries, that was your stance a few posts back, does that not apply to the politicians back in the 1940s?
