Israel kidnapped and mistreated Irish citizens. When will the Government act?

Even as Ben-Gvir livestreamed his video taunting kidnapped flotilla activists, a majority of TDs in Dáil Éireann voted down the Occupied Territories Bill. SARAH CLANCY isn't holding her breath for a better response

As I write, there are more than 9,000 Palestinian people in Israeli-run prisons. Almost 500 of those are children. 

Thousands of these Palestinian people have never been convicted of anything; many of them aren’t even suspected of any crime. They are being held by an out-of-control government that is facing charges of genocide, a government for which there are international arrest warrants out. They are being held by a regime that has killed, at a conservative estimate, 75,000 Palestinian people in two years.
