I too am horrified by what is going on in Gaza. I am also horrified by the Israelis targeting members of our Defence Forces. In the previous conflict they parked tanks alongside one of our outposts to make the outpost a target. Recently they have been sighting members of the Irish Defence Forces, guys from Galway who are serving out there, using laser sights. I hate to bring it up in the context of Gaza but we are talking about the triple lock and the very people who are supporting Netanyahu are the people who can determine whether our troops can be in Lebanon today or not. We have been granted another year's extension but at any stage these murdering bastards can turn around and refuse us-----
