I agree with the Tánaiste that a return to the slaughter in Gaza would be unconscionable. I know many people have concerns about the European Union's approach to the situation in the Gaza Strip. We saw the best of the EU in the response to the brutal crimes inflicted on Ukraine but we have seen the opposite approach to Israel, and that cannot be denied. Some 6,000 children have been slaughtered and the EU has not in any way shown a similar approach to that taken to Ukraine. Is there any hope that the EU will take a stand against Israel's aggression towards Palestine in the same way that it is taken a strong stance against Russia?
