President Catherine Connolly has described the situation in the Middle East as a “deliberate assault on international law”.
President Connolly’s comments come after the US and Israel’s conflict with Iran entered its second week.
She said that “violations of the UN Charter cannot be ignored” and described what is being witnessed as “shocking and numbing”.
In a statement marking International Women’s Day, President Connolly said: “What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law, the international laws that have underpinned global peace for 80 years. We must name them as such, without euphemism and without equivocation.” …

But terrorism is a-okay with this guy.
We know by the imports he/they’ve allowed.
Got it.
Mostly because British rule was pretty unbearable.
Why do you that we Americans revolted?
Oops....SHE not he.
Iran supplies money and harmful stuff to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah attacks Israel.
Israel has the legal right to take military action against Iran. The US has the legal right to militarily help out.
but international terrorism is A-OK, right?
___________
Of course!
The way the so called international law (not really any law) is implemented recently, it protects mostly terrorists, pirates, international criminals, and drug dealers, while it ties hands of Western countries.
See e.g. trump blasting drug cartel boats.
The best of Ireland left there centuries ago.
The First husband or whatever, yeah , he needs a fashion handler.
😂🤣🤣
“Middle East conflict is ‘assault on international law’ - President [of Ireland]”
well, Catherine, could you cite the specific clause of said “international law” that was “assaulted” and what court would judge whether said “assault” occurred, and what penalty might be levied by said court if the USA was found guilty of said “assault”?
or are you just blowing smoke out your ass to give the leftist propaganda media nonsense that the can parrot to stupid ignorant people who believe that “international law” exists?
“In a statement marking International Women’s Day, President Connolly said: “What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes.

How can this hag, with a straight face blame the US and Israel for this when it was Iran who tortured women for wearing a pair of jeans?
And not a word from these fools when Hamas or other terror groups fire rockets into civilian areas in Israel. No, that’s normal, that’s justified.
“She said that “violations of the UN Charter cannot be ignored” and described what is being witnessed as “shocking and numbing”.”
Catherine, what has the UN done regarding the gazillions of ongoing “UN charter violations” committed by Russia against Ukraine and Iran against Israel.
Did the UN do nothing because you failed too callout any of those “violations” or because the UN never does anything anyway?
What global peace?
The dumb ass doesn’t care about Irish domestic law, illegals by the score, but he sure loves ‘international law’ and whatever insipid totalitarian agendas it promotes.
Sooo, what is a regime that vows and attempts to kill certain segments of the world (and its own citizens) mean to “international law?” You MORON.
Exactly which international law is being violated?
The one that says you cannot eradicate your terrorist Islamist enemy?
I don’t care if doing this does not conform to international law.
Did this Irish moron condemn the mass murdering Islamist who shot all those people in Austin? What about the two nail-bomb throwing Islamist terrorists in New York City yesterday?
To hell with international law and to hell with Islamists and their allies.
This is the modern era equivalent of the Battle of Lepanto.
The Islamist forces must be completely crushed. This is an existential war for the USA.
Exactly.
Well said.
For those who cry “International Law”.
The US wrote and codified International Law. And has been its’ enforcer for 75 years. You subscribed to it because you had no choice because we were the Hegemon.
Now you think you can hold us responsible under “International Law”. How discouraged you will be when you realize there is no such thing.
The strong do what they will, the weak do what they must.
Conveniently ignoring the Islamic Republic’s support for international terrorism, the torture and murder of 30,000+ of Iran’s own citizens and supplying combat drones to Russia for use against Ukrainian civilians.
