It is good to hear that there is one individual in our government who has the moral courage to call for real action and the expulsion of the Zionazi warmongers.
Do Fianna Failers in here support Chris Andrews' call for justice?

Does Chris Andrews by extention , therefore support the contiuing rocket attacks on Israel which came to cause this present part of the conflict.Originally Posted by Parnella
Hammas has hijacked world opinion by goading Isreal into this retaliation.
Hammas knew exactly what they were about. they dont give a hoot about the lives of the Palestinians,
They are aware more than anyone how ruthless and barbaric the reply of IDF was bound to be.
Madam, - Tom Carew (December 31st) rightly points out that Hamas is not innocent in the ongoing conflict. He is also right to say that nobody should be expected to stand idly by "in the face of such a sustained campaign of atrocities against civilians". Of course no country can ignore regular attacks on its community.
However, it is also clear that such is the extent of the over-reaction by Israel that its actions can now only be classed as state terrorism. In recent months the Israelis have maintained a blockade of the Gaza Strip which has slowly and systematically brought the residents and infrastructure of Gaza to their knees. Now Israel sees its latest action as putting the final nail in the Hamas coffin.
To see a country which portrays itself as civilised descending to state terrorism is worrying in the extreme.To see that there is no willingness to stop this descent is even more worrying.
It is time for Ireland to take a principled stand on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and expel the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland.
Ireland must also press for emergency medical aid to be allowed through to those who are in desperate need of it. It is also clear that the European Union's self-imposed ban on talking to Hamas is forcing ordinary Palestinians into the hands of extremists. Israel's latest assaults will reinforce this trend.- Yours, etc,

Madam, — Desmond FitzGerald (December 31st) need hardly tell us that he personally has little sympathy for the Palestinian cause. That is obvious from his letter and in any case is of no interest. However, his letter is not entirely unworthy of comment.
Firstly, he implies, without providing evidence, that Palestinians "want the world to feel sorry for their plight". What they want is justice and the chance to live free from persecution. Secondly, he places the onus on Palestinians to reject violence from their own side. Surely both sides must be persuaded to desist from attacks which harm or kill civilians. And, as the primary aggressor in the conflict, it is Israel which must renounce dispossession, terror and the daily humiliations which threaten to drive the Palestinians to despair.
To place conditions on the Palestinian people for allowing the Israeli gun to be taken from their heads would be a renunciation of the duty of solidarity and an odious betrayal of a population that has suffered enough.- Yours, etc,
DÓNALL Ó MEARÁIN,
Was he on that march today?
If he was, he didn't speak. No representation unfortunately from The Greens, Fianna Fail or Fine Gael but many speakers said they appreciated Cowen's and Martin's statements calling for Israel to withdraw.
Why does Israel have an embassy in ireland? We have little trade with Israel, there are virtually no israeli citizens in ireland and virtually no Irish citizens in israel?
How much is the state paying to 'protect' the embassy from protest? I saw 4 bored gardai lounging around outside on thursday afternoon.

It's a pity we can't expel Fianna Fail.
Chris Andrews would serve his constituents better if he focused on issues at home.
Totally agree, why do they need to have an embassy in this country?? Majority of people in this country, regardless of what L'Chaim thinks, hate Israel and their murderous actions.
