    Ireland is one of the few western countries that have criticised Israel’s response to the Hamas attacks, so they’re being punished now.

      They remember how it is to have your homeland occupied by a neighbouring nation that thinks you are an inferior people.

        But on brand for Israel. I guess when they say ‘never again’, they’re not talking about genocide in general.

          Never again to us is what you should interpret it as. A group taking steps to ensure that their near genocide can never be repeated doesn’t burden them with a moral crusade to end all genocide.

            @Apollo good point.

            Regardless of our histories I would hope we all have, if not a crusade, at least a strong moral desire to end genocide.

            Not committing it is a good start.

      They got criticized by Michael D. Higgins. This guy is unreal. He is so charismatic and positive and though I don’t know him personally he looks like an amazing human being.
