Dublin City Council Jumps on the anti-Israel Bandwagon

fucking disgraceful, is all I can say.

according the IPSC website,
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) tonight welcomed a motion passed by Dublin City Council which condemned “the Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla’s aid mission that resulted in deaths and injuries of many of those attempting to bring much needed aid” to the besieged Gaza Strip and called for support for the Irish Ship To Gaza campaign and the Second Freedom Flotilla due to depart in late October. The motion further called on the Irish Government to review the purchases of military equipment from Israel, and to discontinue the EU’s preferential trade agreement with Israel.
WTF?
What business has any city council got meddling in international affairs?

And where to begin. "Much needed aid"? "besieged" Gaza Strip??

Of course, it has Sinn Fein stamped all over it, the nasty Irish (fascist) Nationalist Socialist Party that is quick to hate "Zionism" but slow to reflect on their own brand of ethno-nationalism.

Sinn Fein routinely garners some 6-7% of the popular vote in Ireland. Another reason I'm way the hell out of there.

  1. It's funny how the positive mental image I have of various places so rarely fits the unhappy reality.
