Ireland has “no plans” to suspend funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, the Tánaiste has said, after other nations have announced they are suspending funding.

It comes after Israel’s foreign minister said the country will seek to stop UNRWA from operating in Gaza after the war after it accused several of its staff of involvement in Hamas’s 7 October attack.

Australia, Italy, Finland, the Netherlands and Canada have decided to suspend financing of UNRWA, while Britain and the US will temporarily pause future funding.

In a post on X, Micheál Martin said he has “full confidence” in Commissioner-General of UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini’s decision to immediately suspend staff suspected of participation in the “heinous attacks of October 7” and to investigate thoroughly and “show zero tolerance on terror”. …

The IRA is very similar to Hamas.

So UNRWA employees were participants in the Oct 7 attacks.

And now the UHN “Court” accuses Israel of genocide.

Don’t just suspend funding.

Out of the UN entirely !

Is today’s Irish government made up of IRA members?

Interestingly Sinn Fein, the IRA party, is in the opposition. They aren’t “woke” enough for this lot.

,,, Hamas probably wasn't funded out of bars in Boston and Chicago though.

Ireland surrendered to the muzzie and African hordes years ago. Go to Dublin. You will think you are in a Syrian s hole. All the demons are the same. Young thin men, in skinny jeans, palmate hair, and a beard. Ireland is dead, A rotting corpse nourished by the feces of the muzzie demons defecating on Ireland like everywhere else they infest. Sadly though, the demons running Ireland invited them all in, AND, put them on welfare.

I believe that is a pretty fair assumption. 👍

Unfortunately, there are more than a few Irish and Americans of Irish extraction who foolishly sympathize with the Palestinians in the mistaken belief that Ireland's long struggle for national independence from Britain and the Palestinian war against Israel are broadly similar. And yes, there is similarity today between Hamas and the IRA in that both are terrorist organizations of Marxist ideology.

Yet, that said, it is much to the credit of the Irish population that they have little interest in trying to "free" the six Protestant counties of Northern Ireland from British rule. The Irish have instead done well by developing the Republic of Ireland into a free and prosperous nation. In contrast, the Palestinians have made Gaza and the West Bank into corrupt and nasty territories that embrace terrorism and extreme demands that show them to be undeserving of statehood.

The Irish supported Hitler. Funny how blacks in the USA supported the USA during WWII...

Ireland is ruled by traitors, who would see their grandchildren become a despised minority in their homeland. Of course, they hate Israel

Absolutely. This organization has overstayed its welcome for decades now.

P.S.: The German government has now suspended its payments to UNRWA as well.

Tom Clancy provided very detailed information on the close links between the IRA and the PLO in the book Patriot Games.
