Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Does the Taoiseach remember Shatila and Sabra where they collaborated with the Christian Phalange to kill hundreds of people in Palestinian refugee camps in 1982, the decades-long ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, an illegal occupation now under international law, the illegal occupation of Gaza and the 17-year siege of Gaza, which is a war crime? These are the roots of the conflict. We can condemn all we like, but we need to say that is the problem and this is a rogue state guilty of these criminal actions. The Taoiseach never condemns the United States for giving Israel the weapons to carry out these crimes-----
