Minister for Enterprise Simon Coveney has accused Israel of “behaving like a rogue state” after its latest military action in Rafah. […]

Mr. Coveney said that it is not acceptable to “behave like a monster to defeat a monster,” which is what, he said, Israel is now doing.

“We are witnessing Israel behaving like a like a rogue state, quite frankly,” he said. “They’re ignoring the International Court of Justice. They seem now to even be ignoring their closest allies in countries like the United States and the UK, who are clearly calling for restraint, looking for the basis of a ceasefire, wanting to work with Israel to bring an end to this savagery that is continuing in Gaza. I think those of us who contribute to international calls for a ceasefire need to intensify those calls now.”

Speaking as he arrived for this morning’s Cabinet meeting, the minister said Ireland has been using its voice internationally to build consensus within the European Union to stop this “madness” and it needed to continue to do this forcefully. …

They even signed the condolence book at the German Embassy after Hitler assumed room temperature.

So ... virtually everything the Allies did in WWII was unacceptable?

Probably. Ireland was neutral in WWII.

Does Simon Coveney actually have a better idea than what Israel is trying to accomplish? Admittedly, I do not perfectly understand the situation,but I don’t think Coveney does either. What would be normal choices to combat Israel’s current situation have certainly not worked. From what I understand, other nations certainly do not want to contend with these “Palestinians”. I remember what happened when Yasser Arafat was in power. How are we supposed to “rationally” deal with people like that? I’m pretty certain that, given the circumstances, Israel is doing about all they CAN do. The Holy Bible has a few things to say about favoring Israel, but makes no mention(to my knowledge)about a favorable reference to “Palestine”. Would we rather take note of what many say about Israel or should we pay attention to what God has to say about that nation?

Ireland is sick. They are led by a political class all in on internationalism and tyranny. A large number of immigrants and refugees are contributing to a housing crisis and rising crime. The media refuses to mention the ethnicity of criminals. If current demographic trends continue, the Irish will be a despised minority in their homeland by the end of the century. Meanwhile people are being prosecuted for protesting murders and rapes by immigrants and for signs that say “Ireland for the Irish.” Ireland is run by traitors and communists who hate Israel for being actual nationalists. Hopefully, Conor McGregor can change this.
