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.
