The entire civil service with Forsa should just strike until you pass the OTB ya cunt. National day of protest? Consisting of what?

We all feel the same way about Palestine. However, we’re deluding ourselves if we think that a protest in Ireland will have any effect on the conflict. Israel already sees us as enemies, they’ll ignore anything we say

Yes Gaza the most pressing issue facing the country.

Harris is just doing this to make political capital for when he leaves office.

Can you see Simon there, marching with a load of people who want the OTB to be signed into law. And he wants a big meet up, sing a few songs and back to work Monday morning, no mention of anything real.

It may not be much, and it may be far too late, but a national day of protest would at least be something. As a country whose culture has been shaped by the effects of man made famine we really need to start taking more action.
I don’t like the try to make it happen. Let’s just make it happen along with an occupied territories bill.
EDIT what kind of people are down voting this comment. Would people prefer we just did nothing to say starving innocent children needs ti be stopped?

“Try”
Why don’t you simply sanction Israel?
Or is it words are easier than a hit to the pocket eh?

He could have passed the OTB, Ended the dual use and military trade, sanctioned airlines transporting weapons/parts through our airspace, ended the Central bank Facilitating Israeli war bonds, have made sure irish tax money wasn’t litteraly invested in the fucking war bonds, had fine gael MEP’s vote against von der Lyon and so much more. But no, ”he will try to make a national day of protest over gaza happen”. Blueshirt cunt

Great, hopefully all these protests will turn the dial enough to stop Israel starving people to death.

Anyone that thinks that little worm cares about Palestine needs to not breed. The fact he’s still a government official is a disgrace to the country

Is he going to march on the Israeli or US embassy? Somehow I doubt it.

Can we have a national day of fixing Ireland mate

How about we a day of protesting to fix our fucking housing situation

If that doesn’t change Netanyahu’s stance nothing will.

I’m I the only one to think the environment, our own collapsing social contract and domestic issues are always shrugged off by our government instead of grand standing over Gaza (they haven’t even cut off trade with israel)
This is just them riding public anger for a quick domestic win on a foreign policy issue, when the environmental and social ones they have completely abandoned us on
I’m too cynical to buy this crap

Why not arrange a national day of protest over the housing crisis that is tearing the fabric of our society?

Ridiculous 🙄 how about dealing with the issues we have here for a change

I love Simon Harris’s passion for the genocide in Gaza. I whole heartedly agree with him. It’s an easy win really. Simon knows the majority of the country backs Palestine. He can give great sound bites and has to do little real work.
When it comes to issues facing the Irish tax payers he has zero passion and has shown a real contempt for the Irish people. They forget it’s us that pay for these gobshites. They play world leaders with our cash yet they couldn’t gove a rats ass about us.
What was the first thing they did in power… cut the energy tax credit and increased their salaries….

Good ole r/Ireland,
This is a good thing but people still complain.
Who does he think we’re protesting to?
We want the Irish government to take action!
