#Israel to close its embassy in #Dublin due to ‘extreme anti-Israel policy of Irish Government’; Taoiseach expresses ‘deep disappointment’

Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Micheál Martin confirmed today there are "no plans" to close Ireland's embassy in Israel.

" #Ireland and Israel will continue to maintain diplomatic relations. Inherent in that is the right to agree and disagree on fundamental points," he said.

"There are no plans to close Ireland’s embassy in Israel, which is carrying out important work."

Both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste released statements shortly after the Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told Israeli media they were closing the embassy in Dublin.

While a delegation from the World Health Organization was present, a number of houses were targeted around Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern #Gaza Strip.

They just don't give a ahit about their criminal actions getting exposed, they know they are untouchable and no one gives a ahit about Palestinians anymore (not that they did before, but they have stopped pretending too).

Director of Field Hospitals at the Ministry of Health in #Gaza:

The situation is catastrophic and the hospitals are full of wounded and injured.

We have no specialized doctors, no services, no medicines, and no medical supplies.

Our patients are dying due to the lack of medicines and the depletion of oxygen

Death "imminent" for 96% of children in Gaza

A survey conducted by the Community Training Centre for Crisis Management (CTCCM) in collaboration with the War Child Alliance found that 96% of children in Gaza believe death is imminent. Shockingly, nearly half of these children actually expressed a desire to die due to the extensive and overwhelming trauma they have endured.

Helen Pattinson, CEO of War Child UK, emphasised the severity of the situation, calling Gaza "one of the most horrifying places in the world to be a child."

No worries, they are not like the CEO of an insurance company in the US who's life was worth global reaction, these kids will die and perish with no one even lifting en eyebrow.

#Ireland to join #ICJ lawsuit against #Israel in December, Foreign Ministry says

"Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin today secured government approval for Ireland to intervene in #SouthAfrica's International Court of Justice case against Israel under the #Genocide Convention. Filing of the intervention will take place at the Court in The Hague later this month," the Irish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Ireland will ask the court to broaden "its interpretation of what constitutes the commission of genocide by a state," Martin was quoted as saying in a statement.

"We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians is minimized," he added.

🇿🇦 In December 2023, South Africa filed an application with the ICJ, asking the World Court to issue interim measures against Israel for its war on Gaza. South Africa said that Israel's actions against Palestinians in the enclave were in "violation of obligations under the Genocide Convention".

In January, the ICJ ordered Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza, punish incitement to genocide against Palestinians and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid. It stopped short of ordering Israel to halt the offensive, as South Africa had sought in the case.

Disappearing Genocide: BBC ‘Balance’ Between Perpetrator Israel And Palestinian Victims After Damning Amnesty Report

Media Lens

(...) By contrast, last week’s devastating Amnesty International report stating that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, detailed in a carefully-documented 296-page report, received only token ‘mainstream’ media coverage. (...)

In a sane world, such a powerful indictment by the world’s most prestigious human rights organisation would receive intensive, widespread and continuing news coverage and commentary. (...)

In the real world, when they covered the report at all, ‘mainstream’ news reports gave ample room to Israel’s crazed denunciations of Amnesty as a ‘deplorable and fanatical organisation’ that had issued a report that was ‘entirely false and based on lies’. (...)

Israeli Holocaust Scholar Says This IS Genocide
Finally, consider the recent powerful statement by Amos Goldberg, an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem:

‘For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence.

‘And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide.’ (...)
