 immediately expel the Israeli ambassador from this country and impose serious sanctions on Israel for the war crimes that they are committing unabated against the people of Gaza. Trickle of aid which is really just a PR exercise by Israel but in reality is a fraction of what is needed to deal with the humanitarian catastrophe that is now taking place as Israel starves 2.2 million people of water, of food, of electricity, of medical supplies and other equipment necessary to deal with this catastrophic emergency resulting from the murderous savage bombardment by Israel of Gaza. We believe words of concern are not enough. The Irish government need to impose sanctions that should begin with the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and be followed by comprehensive economic, political and trade sanctions and we should be publicly calling, our government should publicly call for the referral of Israeli political and military leaders to the International Criminal Court for the Commission of War Crimes. These are self-confessed war crimes where we are seeing in front of our eyes the wholesale slaughter, indiscriminate murder of thousands of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of a million Palestinians from northern Gaza. We have also written to the Count Corla this morning asking for a particular debate about the role of the Israeli diplomatic mission in this country because as well as justifying the slaughter of thousands of people in Gaza and the war crimes being committed they are also now criticizing the Irish president for calling them out for for their crimes and of course we have a tweet coming from the deputy head of mission accusing the Irish government of somehow funding terrorism an outrageous claim but indicating that there's really no lengths that Israel and in this case the diplomatic mission of Israel will go to to try and blunt neutralize undermine legitimate criticism necessary criticism of the crimes that Israel are committing. We believe there needs to be a debate but we want to see the result of that debate being the expulsion of the ambassador and the imposition of sanctions on Israel murdered so I'm not going to accept a sort of one-sided narrative that the United States and Britain European Union leaders and to some extent our own government have pushed is that all this began with the actions that took place in October the 7th. What we are dealing with are the bitter consequences of decades of persecution of the Palestinians by Israel with administrative detention with the siege of Gaza with ethnic cleansing with settler violence against Palestinians and then an escalation of violence that flows from that. I just also want to say a word about Courtney Kerry for those who are not familiar she contacted me in the last few days and so yesterday yesterday morning I think it was yesterday afternoon I can't remember the time but she contacted our office I talked to her this morning and she was sacked by the company Wix that operate down in Grand Canal dock which is an Israeli owned company and really it's quite quite extraordinary what happened to Courtney she was sacked because she put up posts sympathetic to the Palestinians and calling out the crimes of Israel against the Palestinians and pointing to the fact that the origin of this current terrible escalation of violence was the Israeli occupation the apartheid system the siege of Gaza and for that she was sacked so this is really shocking stuff and but you know indicating that this company appear to be operating as a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda to attack anybody who voices legitimate and widespread criticism of Israel for the crimes that is committing.
