Ireland, experts in long term sustainable peace.
The Irish position of Simon Harris is certainly one of the few sensible pro-Palestinian positions out there.
Better minds prevail praying 🙏 for peace 🕊️.
Very well put!
I love the Irish! Incredibly decent and warm people! ❤️🙏🏼
I love the Irish. ❤
The whole world is watching.
Ireland has been wonderful in holding Israel uniquely to account and to fund UNWRA especially as the next Administration may permanently defund this agency so thank you to Ireland for picking up the slack.
Articulate and Passionate for Palestinian rights. Israel cannot remain a democratic state with ethical Jewish values if it remains a permanent occupier of Palestinian land as recognised under international law.
😂 not for you to say or decide Stewie.
Israel & ethical in the same sentence. 😂😂😂😂😂
Well said - for those that think we shouldn’t all have an opinion, considering the fact that this situation is international by nature and we’re all potentially affected-
I think the Irish pro-human rights, pro-peace attitude is what we need to hear about, from a people that know about oppression.
2 words-
The Hague
The very concept of a democratic Jewish state is an oxymoron
You GO Taoiseach Harris! Thank you☘
Well done Simon, well put.
Thank you Ireland for not forgetting your past and joining hands with the world against Genocide. Some countries take this responsibility more firmly than others.
An honest man, thanks
Geeze We’re all human beings can’t we start acting like it and just end these foolish wars….
What about the illegal occupation of the West Bank? The US does not demand that Israel abide by the touted rules-based order.
Handing over the west bank is not an issue, it's workable because israel handed over land back to Jordan, Egypt, and Gaza all for peace. The only challenge is that the Palestinians elected Hamas! A terrorist group to help them destroy israelzl. And thus Iran weaponized the Gaza strip resulting in rockets, tunnels and murder. So how does israel handover the Westbank again? This time around the weaponization would lead to the destruction of israel.
The security of the Westbank is difficult to handover even though the administration can be handed over.
Both sides have to learn to share and live in peace not hate

Occupier has no right to self defence.
Who is that well spoken politician?!? He seems so earnest and sincere.
Our Taoiseach, Simon Harris (the head of government in Ireland and de facto head of the executive), and leader of the centre-right party « Fine Gael »
Our Irish Prime Minister, Simon Harris
He's an idiot .. he thought covid 19 got its name because there were 19 covid viruses. An national embarrassment ..
Thank you Prime Minister. You are one of three leaders who gives us some hope and vision for a way forward
Thank you for your pro human rights approach. The UN has already recognized the loss of civilian lives
The life on hold of a child born just now. Gaza is a wound that widens mercilessly, under the bombs of those thirsty for the blood of innocents; Gaza is a wound that lights up the eyes drunk with hatred of beings who take pleasure in breaking lives that have barely hatched;
Gaza is a wound like the mouth of a mother screaming her pain and her inability to save those she has just given birth to; Gaza is a wound like the abyss dug by the insane to bury the evidence of their intolerable crimes; Gaza is a wound as big as the waves of the ocean that sweep our universe, carrying the rest of our illusions, Gaza is a wound that widens to become, tomorrow, one of the greatest mass graves of our humanity.
The country of Ireland has stood head and shoulders above the European Union on this travesty. Much admiriation and respect to Ireland and its people!
Palestinians want their own state. The state would be everything from the river to the sea. That is the ONLY thing they want.
Netanyahu's Likud Party's slogan is 'From the river to the sea, there will only be Israeli sovereignty'. We can both play that game.
I appreciate the Irish take on this most important issue.🕊️
Finally a person who really understands the game and knows where efforts should be put. A smart prime minister.
Kudos
This gentleman is the best
I’m so proud to be of Irish decent , so proud of Ireland 🇮🇪, peace to Palestine & Lebanon.
An occupying of a country is supposed to protect the people they occupy
And not subject them to an apartheid system of killing them including children day in Day out !!
Go raibh mile maith agat ❤
LGBTQ for palestine???? Amadan
@@baruchhashem49
Democracy in Israel? 🤣🤣
God bless Americans who stands for justice.
Peace Keepers ??? WTF are you talking about? Start enforcing the past UN resolutions
Not possible unless the US is on board.
@@alisoninchausti1080 Why not sanction the US? Ban all trade with US companies, restrict travel, etc. Everyone's obvious unwillingness to do such things is clear evidence that "international law" isn't something anyone really believes in in any meaningful way, and that it's just posturing.
He's talking about the Irish peacekeepers in Lebanon, they've been there for decades. One from my community is missing in Lebanon since the 1980s RIP
"Escalating tensions" is supposed to make the piece newsworthy, but from what I can tell, tensions in the Middle East have been rising for 4500 years.
... and it's ALWAYS been BOTH sides! (or, multiple sides, really).
Hierocracy has many faces.
🍀💙
Was he sleeping all these time?
?? Explain
How does "from the river to the sea" work with a 2 state salution??
Is it a bit colonialist, to tell us what to do and to infintile palestinians.. as some what of this pure 'noble savge'. Isn't this just Britain, being Britain?
Mr. Prime Minister, what Israel should hav done after Hamas attacked it on October 7? Any suggestion?
They certainly should NOT be murdering innocent unarmed civilians especially babies and children but hey you do support the endless murder of innocent babies and children don't you
Netanyahu should have admitted that he made a mistake and it wouldn't happen again.
Needed up security.
Not massacre civilians in the name of 'human shields' this is a fabrication and proven not to be true.even President Herzog stated "All Palestinians are terrorists"
Gallant said Israel was going to cut off "Water,food and electricity" to the entire population.
Be strategic and target Hamas -Netanyahu wants to continue the war for his own personal and political gain.
ISRAEL wants to incite the vigilance,don't want to negotiate a ceasefire,has the US 'over a barrel' coming up to election time.
The US don't care about Palestinians,Lebanese.
Can you imagine if JUST 4 Israelites were killed by the pagers?The US and the West would nearly send in NATO.
Israel is a Zionist apartheid state and wants to slowly either exterminate or expul ALL Palestinians.
Ev
He has no clue ...Just talk and talk and talk...They are allowed to open their borders for Hezbollah if he thinks they are normal people
How about abiding by international law. That would be a good start. You can't just defend yourselves by engaging in war crimes.
@@stephendoherty981
Bravo 👌
This guy Albert supporting crimes against humanity is a troll
He's reporting and deleting replys to his inhuman deception and propaganda
Well, if Simon says.
He's hated in Ireland
@@baruchhashem49broad statement - what percentage?
@@oldbeatpeteabout 60ish percent. He'd the leader of the centre-right party « Fine Gael » ; a conservative néolibéral party.
So yes he has supporters and is more popular than the last, but his actual politics are becoming less and less popular amongst Irish people
Rubbish. His poll numbers shot through the roof last week.
@@baruchhashem49We don't hate him at all. We are frustrated as we want him to do more, like impose sanctions and enact the Occupied Territories Bill, among other legislation. And it will happen eventually! He cannot ignore the public any longer

What was Ireland's position on the U N sanctionblockade of Iraq that killed 500,000 Iraqi children ?
What was Ireland's position on the UN force in Korea which killed amost 2 million civilians ?
Very good points. More than most, Ireland is Amerika's lapdog
@@bothi00😂😂😂 haha love this. You do realise that the majority of the US is made up of Irish and Irish descendants who helped build America. What a 🤡🤡.
Ireland was not a member of the UN until after the Korean war. Ireland only became a member in 1955.
Ireland opposed sanctions on Iraq and provided humanitarian aid to Iraq.
Hope that helps.
@@GarethMurphy40k so...eventhough the UN killed 2 million people, Ireland still joined?
Also: How did Ireland provide aid if there was a blockade. You mean: after the blocade was lifted....
Also: why didn't Ireland resign from the UN after the 1st 100,000 dead ?
@@clarity4444 not the majority
But a lot
The two-state solution was done-and-dusted at the UN, in 1947, but the Arab states and Egypt, refused to accept that international agreement and kicked off the the "Nakba" of 1948, and tried again in 1967 and 1973. Fifty years later . . .
What a deception, this is written by someone owned body and soul by Satan, not by God. Christ will curse
The United States taxpayer backed idf may turn Ireland into Gaza😮
This woman is terrible. She truly is bad. I heard what she said about Palestine and Lebanon. She’s just biased towards Israel but tries to come across as unbiased.
CNN are absolutely terrible. It’s almost hillarious if it wasn’t so bad.
Not as bad as Sheilagh Fogarty on LBC radio uk.
She's an absolute disgrace, apart from her pro Israeli stance, she can't string a sentence together, am am a a am, don't know how they get the jobs!!
I feel great now that's of my chest.
The biggest question inall of this Israël has the right to defend itself in the light of internatiointnal law is in which ways international laws jeopardize Israeli safety?
What are you on about? 17 thousand Palestinian kids have been killed and still there are people calling it self defense? If you to need to so brutally violate international law to ‘defend yourself’, there’s something seriously wrong with your foreign policy/expansionist ambitions, as is the case.
It would appear that 'defensive' means killing civilians.
@@alisoninchausti1080 +women/elderlies/disable/critical chronic illnesses patients ect its sickening +starvation
Maybe Hamass should have thought about that before they started the war. Wars are a lot easier to start than to end.
This is so hypocritical. Disgusting!
In what way
Hypocritically fails to mention that Israel actually warned, by text and telephone, to more than eighty thousand Lebanese living in those Hezbollah areas they bombed. I´d hope for Russia or any other country to do exactly the same when bombing Ukraine or other countries. He also fails to mention the countless times Hezbollah launched rockets and missiles to Israel for over a year without any provocation from Israel. Where´s this guy living?
O a text? That makes it okay then 🤡
stopped watching christiane years ago too anti semitic
anti arab muslims = anti semitic
She is married to a Hebrew .
Stick to shamrocks
Shamrocks are better than genocide muppet
Leave it to the Irish to bring the troubles to the world!
What garbage are you wittering on about?
Simon Harris was the only one willing to take the chair Leo "boom boom" Varadker ran away from. He is widely considered the stupidest person in Irish politics
🤡
See dem fighting for Power,but they know not the hour.
Robert Nestor Marley
Talk about Israel banning foreign journalists in Gaza 11 months ago. Why not report from the West Bank? 🦻
This man is rubbish not seeing terrorists are the true cause of this situation...
It's your dumb comment that's rubbish. Who are the terrorists exactly?
I think he correctly identified the terrorists - Israel.
