🇵🇸 Huge welcome for Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland
@JilanWahba
in Belfast tonight. Hundreds of people sending solidarity to the people of Palestine.
It’s time for an immediate ceasefire.
The world is shouting stop the slaughter in Gaza.
Israel must be held accountable for its actions & for turning its face against a ceasefire.
The position of the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland is untenable while Israel persists with deepening violence & ignoring ceasefire calls.
Israel doesn't care about international law.
Why?
Because Israel is NEVER held to account.
When it came to Ukraine, there were multiple complaints to the International Criminal Court over Russia's actions. Correctly.
Why is Israel any different?
Huge emotion here as the Ambassador of Palestine Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid receives a standing ovation.
On Tuesday Sinn Féin will bring a motion to the Dáil seeking to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court.

We ask - where is the protection of international law for every child killed in Gaza?
Only a peace process, dialogue, & international law can deliver peace & Palestinian freedom.

has called out the insurance industry for magnifying the scale of the issue of fraudulent claims in order to justify their high premiums and increases.
Israel needs to be finally called out for what it is: a racist, apartheid regime.
We in Ireland have a special obligation to act because we know the colonial experience of dispossession, division and what it is to be left destitute. 🇮🇪 🤝 🇵🇸 –

This is a once in a generation election. We need to maximise the number of pro-remain MPs and oust DUP Brexiteers. Sinn Féin won't contest South Belfast, East Belfast or North Down.

#SFAF23
The Dáil has spoken with one voice. Ireland is now the 1st EU country to state Israel has de-facto annexed Palestinian lands and their actions break international law.
There must be consequences for these actions.

Today's Hague ruling against Israel is decisive.
The Irish government must now join with South Africa in their case to hold Israel accountable for their crimes against the Palestinian people. Sinn Féin has just lodged a motion in the Dáil to do just that 🇵🇸🇮🇪 –

You voted for us because we need to build houses, cut rents, restore the pension age to 65, take on the insurance companies ripping you off and work for Irish unity. That's why I have begun talking with other parties about creating a government for change.
I am on the RTÉ debate tonight because of all of you. You stood up and made your voices heard and the political establishment backed down. I hope I do you proud!

Why does Israel – a country that ignores and breaches UN resolutions and international law every single day – enjoy a preferential trade relationship with the EU?
If others won't move then we will. It is time for Ireland to lead the way

Sinn Féin MP for Mid Ulster Francie Molloy has extended solidarity to the Catalan people as they celebrate their National Day and called for the release of Catalan political prisoners in support of a talks process.

“There must be a ceasefire, there must be sanctions, and Israel must be held to account at the ICJ.”
I can't believe the insurance companies are still at it, trying to wriggle out of paying businesses who have been forced to close because of the Covid crisis. Have they no shame? I've been in touch with the Central Bank demanding action because this nonsense has to stop now.
We're at home with the kids after a confirmed case of the coronavirus at their school. I’m postponing meetings in Cavan + Galway as I’d like to stay close to home but I’ll be back at work tomorrow. Stick to the medical advice, wash your hands with warm soapy water. Stay safe.

Today could mark a watershed in holding Israel accountable for its multiple breaches of international law. Over 10,000 children have been killed by Israel's indiscriminate bombing in Gaza. The Gov't must go beyond words & support South Africa's case against Israel in The Hague

🇵🇸 Israel’s brutal bombardment of Gaza must end. The slaughter of the Palestinians must stop. This is not defence. The international community must call for an immediate ceasefire. Ireland must be a loud voice for peace, dialogue & the rule of international law.
@MaryLouMcDonald
Israel must be held to account. No more excuses, it's time to say stop.
Sinn Féin will bring a motion to the Dáil today which calls on government to refer the brutal Israeli attacks in Gaza to the International Criminal Court for investigation.

Fine Gael are more interested in commemorating the enforcers of British rule in Ireland - such as the RIC and DMP - than those ordinary citizens who bore the brunt of British forces.
It is an insult to their legacy.
