Former president Mary Robinson has called on the Taoiseach (prime minister) to urge the US to end its military and financial support for Israel during his meeting with Joe Biden at the White House.
Leo Varadkar this afternoon met US President Joe Biden, with Ukraine, Gaza, Northern Ireland and the economic outlook on the agenda.
The chairwoman of the Elders group said the focus should not be on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but on political responses to it.
Speaking on RTÉ’s News at One, Mrs. Robinson said: “Yes, the humanitarian situation is utterly catastrophic and dire, reducing a people to famine, undermining all our values, but the message I want to deliver on behalf of the Elders is a direct message to our Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.”
She said that Mr. Varadkar should not spend “too much time” during his meeting with Mr Biden on the humanitarian situation and instead deliver a “direct” political message.
“The United States can influence Israel by not continuing to provide arms, it has provided a lot of the arms, bombs that have been used on the Palestinian people, and he’s continuing to do that and he’s also providing money. This government of Prime Minister Netanyahu is on the wrong side of history, completely, is making the United States complicit in reducing a people to famine — making the world complicit. Leo Varadkar has access today to President Biden. He must use this completely politically at all levels with the speaker of the House with everyone, to make it clear that Israel depends on the United States for military aid and for money, that’s what will change everything.” …

A result of Ireland joining the European Economic Community was that two of Robinson’s key goals were met: Ireland was required to offer women in the public service equal pay to men, which came into effect in June 1973; and in July the marriage bar for women in the civil service was lifted.A woman (loosely-termed) who was willing to sell out her own country’s sovereignty for two communist goals will stoop to any evil.
— From Wikipedia
Let Eqypt and Jordan bear shoulder some of the responsibility to separate any “civilians” from the Nazi Hamass.
What a bunch of suckers the Iruis have become. THey are lighting the world on fore.
I guess they want their country tio burn ina nuclear fire.
This is where this is all headed.
The Iranians have nukes and will use them.And then the Israelis will use theirs.
Leave this as a conventional war, arm Israel and make sure they destroy HAMAS unterly and completely.
Or Else.
Allowing female members of the civil service to get married is hardly a communist goal.
The Republic of Ireland is now importing Muslims on a large scale. And the Muslims are causing trouble, as expected. Evidently the Irish leadership has learned nothing from the Swedish experience.
Or maybe they just don’t care. Or maybe it’s all part of the plan.
I wonder why they had that bar in the first place. It would seem to be less disruptive if the women WERE married; but maybe they assumed that women might have kids and that would cause problems.
(Of course, unmarried women get pregnant, too...)
Mary Robinson. I’m shocked! /s
The Pali scum never had a bigger ally than the IRA. Terrorists love to stick together like the scum they are.
Ireland has plenty of problems with all their “newcomers”. Maybe they shouldn’t be so worried about what’s happening on another continent.
Ireland is just another Muslim country.
This a&&home has been a Jew hater for decades.
Does the world really need Ireland for anything? There are plenty of other sources of beer and whiskey.
Quiet, you evil harpy.
You are so right.
I don’t think you understand communists too well, then. “Abolition of the family” is one of their primary dogmas.
If Ireland ( and Scotland) are fullof leftist troglodytes, whats the point of any of the heritage whichi brings millions to tour both Celtic nations.
They do not understand their own whiskey, beer or even haggis.
Cuchulain has become a Palestinian.
And his father , Lugh of the Long Hand has become Allah.
SHAME!
And letting female teachers get married is abolishing the family, laughable nonsense.
I guess you don’t see things in the “pro-God” context. Particularly given Ireland’s moral history and moral slide.
Opus?
Ireland’s moral slide?
You mean the Catholic church’s abuse of children and the Magdalen laundries.
Amen. Slainte.
