Our leaders are still talking. Talking talking talking talking talking. Despite the immense global pressure and the bombing and systematic, evil starvation of almost two million people, after killing almost half a million people.
Despite Ireland being framed as a great supporter of Palestine, the government is still up to their neck in complicity and partaking in genocide.
Al Jazeera reported a list of Israel's largest training partners.
In 2024, the USA, UK, Germany etc. were prominent. However, Israel's second most significant trading partner shocked many observers; it's most vocal European critic, Ireland.
Israel's exports to Ireland have exploded since 2021. In 2020, exports to Ireland totaled just 198 million euro, in 2021, this figure skyrocketed to 1.44 billion. Growing year by year to 3.26 billion euro in 2024.
And yet they refuse to enact the FULL Occupied Territories Bill, and refuse to stop the passage of US weapons, troops and army planes in Shannon Airport, which directly supports Israel. They refuse to enact the Arms Embargo Bill.
Please, see this website where you can learn about the OTB and take action, you can sign their petition. Sign this petition in regards to Shannon Airport.
Two days ago, I asked you guys to help some fundraisers, for Ahmed and his son Samir, more donations have been coming, this is great, as more donations can literally save Samir's life.
Samir still needs to travel, and receive medical treatment. He was shot in his abdomen, and needs surgery he cannot receive in Gaza. He is now in a coma and risks having his foot amputated, and even death. So please, keep the shares and donations flowing and flowing, the support cannot waver now. They have reached 40% of their goal.
However, Ahmed Mazen Hammad, another man from Gaza who needs support had only raised another 30 dollars, he needs urgent money to help save his father's life, who could die in a matter of a few days without the proper health care and medicine.
Ahmed has also had his leg severally injured as he was trying to get food at the GHF, which we are calling to dismantle. His leg risks amputation if he doesn't take care. Please, help him get food and pay for his father's medicine. 8,530 / 40,000 dollars raised. Please, his fundraiser needs to be making more progress.
Nour is a parent from Gaza, her and her husband are trying their best to care for their three children. Hussein (6 years old), Rajaa (5 years old) and Youssef (10 months old). Rajaa, due to the horrific and unsanitary conditions has contracted hepatitis. Youssef is deprived of the necessary nutrients for his age.
All children deserve to live in stability and respect. And to grow up in healthy environment surrounded by people they love and by safety and comfort, not to be living in the hellscape that is Gaza, and experiencing trauma that makes their hair turn grey or fall out. 66% raised, and donations tend to be slow.
Please, keep demanding action from the Irish government, signing, and add donating to the list. Thank you so much for 230+ signatures and counting in the past days.
