It's not that long ago that the British establishment would equate being Irish with being in the IRA, so when Israel equates Palestine with Hamas in an attempt to stop Ireland from recognising the state of Palestine it only reinforces the importance of that recognition.
The Irish government is doing the right thing today and will be seen to be on the right side of history.

"Mir wurde klar, dass Soldat zu sein bedeutet, Teil der exekutiven Gehirne einer Regierung zu sein, die versucht, den Status quo aufrechtzuerhalten, anstatt uns eine Chance auf Frieden und Versöhnung durch die Lösung von Konflikten zu geben. Was mich letztendlich dazu brachte, mich zu weigern, zum Militär zu gehen, war die Lektüre von Hannah Arendts Werk „Die Banalität des Bösen“. "

The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
A warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest will not help end the war in Gaza, Britain has said, suggesting that it may oppose a move to detain the Israeli prime minister.
“At other times, a tank would rapidly move towards them, then drift back, less than a meter away from them. Ahmad realized the soldiers were toying with them.
At one point, soldiers picked Ahmad’s brother, Saeed, and tortured him, breaking his jaw. They kicked him in his genitals like they were ‘hitting a football,’ according to Saeed. They beat him so severely that he blacked out at one point.’”
Israeli soldiers rounded up Ahmad Safi and his male family members in Khan Younis and made them stand atop a sand dune for 12 hours as the soldiers took cover behind them during a firefight with Palestinian resistance fighters. This is their story.
“The soldiers at several points fired bullets next to their feet in an effort to terrorize them, perhaps to make them amenable to following orders.

Once again, the issue is portrayed as a bunch of extremists who took over Israel. This is not untrue, but it hides the fact that before these extremists were anywhere near power, Israel was already systematically dispossessing, colonizing, and brutalizing Palestinians.
Every Israeli I know hates Netanyahu, Israel's messianic far right, settlements, and settlers. And I mean HATES them.
But Israeli society is still overwhelmingly supportive of the war.

Joe Biden's claim that Hamas’s October 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem.

A long-festering split at the heart of #Israel’s #WarCabinet has burst into the open with the defence minister, #YoavGallant, challenging the prime minister, Benjamin #Netanyahu, to come up with plans for the “day after” the war in #Gaza, and saying he would not permit any solution where Israeli military or civil governance were in the territory.
In recent days #Egypt has announced it will no longer participate in allowing the transit of aid into #Gaza and said it planned to join the #genocide case brought by #SouthAfrica against Israel at the UN’s top court. #TheHague
