[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]Despite the indiscriminate unprovoked slaughter of 300 innocents, and maiming of 1,000s there has been no call for EU sanctions against the Israeli savages. Compare this to the economic sanctions imposed against Palestine for democratically electing Hamas to power. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]Unless the EU prove that it is willing to represent the defenseless, to use it's might for more than the furthering of capitalist goals and economic growth then we, THE IRISH must use the power WE have and let them know that we will VOTE NO TO LISBON. I for one will refuse to buy any Israeli produce until Palestine is free but we must demand similar EU action and action NOW.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=darkred]Let them know we will VOTE NO.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#8b0000]And, let our windbag government know that empty statements of condemnation with NO calls for action against Israel will be treated with the contempt they deserve. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#8b0000]Just like Dermot Aherne when Israel butchered 1,000s in Lebanon, Michael Martin is making "the right comments" to reflect public outrage and give the impression that he is on "the just side" but like Aherne, absolutely NO action was taken or called for. Useless mouthpieces is all we have in government and the only means we have available to us to show how disgusted we are is to Vote NO to Lisbon.[/COLOR]

If the EU was to to speak now,and just ask Israel to let aid through it would be a major boost for the yes side in the Lisbon treaty next October.

It will take a lot more than aid to be allowed through.

Maybe there have been no call for EU sanctions against Israel because the EU think Israel were right to defend themselves against ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza. You do know that using civilian areas to lauch attacks on civilians in Israel is a war crime? You do realise that if israel deliberately attacked palestinian civilians the death toll would be multiplied by hundreds? What you can't see is that hamas is more interested in gaining sympathy by making 'martyrs' of the people they are supposed to represent, because it suits their agenda of demonising Israel - who are legally using their right to defend its citizens.

If there was oil there it would all be so different.

Bit of a contradiction here Parnella

If you accept the right of the EU to intervene in an international conflict then you accept we have to abide by their right to do so anywhere else too.

That is one of the motivations behind the Lisbon Treaty.

The State of Ireland is primarily and should remain Neutral in conflict situations.

We should not be getting involved at State level in supporting one side or the other.

Parnella - you wern't seriously thinking of voting 'Yes' by any chance were you?

The EU has already "chosen sides" by imposing economic sanctions against Palestinians so there is no contradiction in me asking for the same against Israel.

If Fianna Fail are out of power by the mext Lisbon referendum and EU sacntions are in place against Israel, I will vote yes. Which makes it unlikely that I will vote yes.

Ireland should NEVER back down in the face of tyranny and slaughter.

My take on it is that Parnella is looking for EU economic sanctions against Israel, which I would agree with, rather than military intervention.
Instead the EU is in the process of upgrading its relations with Israel, which is an absolute disgrace.

You do realise then that if you were to vote 'Yes' that we will never have the luxury making that decision again
- it will be made for us.

Whether we like it or not!

Haven't we enough problems of our own without trying to solve everyone elses? For goodness sake man, clearly you have no job worries if you can tickle your fancy with this stuff.
