The Irish Government subservience to Western foreign policy demonstrates its 'independence' is an illusion
Irish senator and former presidential candidate David Norris made a powerful speech on 31 July condemning Israel’s massacre in Gaza and the complcity of American, Irish and other European governments.
One could take issue with his statements about the transformation of Israel from a social democratic into a far-right state, as the complicity of the Israeli Labour Party demonstrates, but his undoubted passion and his targeting of the present Irish government is spot on.
