9 countries out of the 27 EU members recognise Palestine. A few days ago, several officials from Spain and Ireland confirmed that there's a plan in place for their countries (along with others) to recognise Palestine in the month of May.

This is how Israel responds to the report

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has issued a genocide alert for the West Bank last month as Israel ramps up mass expulsions of Palestinians to make way for new settlements. These threats are genocidal.

“People are not stupid. People know if you are being selective when it comes to condemnation of illegal occupation, of war crimes, then your words of selective condemnation are empty.”

"Why are Irish people so quick to defend the Palestinians and to call out Israel?"

This is a list of what the British authorities were allowed to do to the local Irish population in Northern Ireland:

This Act was only repealed in the 1970s.

Violence, oppression, and discrimination against the Irish is not ancient history. Many Irish people are still feeling the effects today. Northern Ireland has one of the highest rates of PTSD in the world. It has some of the worst mental health statistics in general. It's still plagued by political dysfunction, which is a direct result of Britain's colonial activity in Ireland.

So why do the Irish support Palestine?

It's because many of us have lived through very similar things to what they are going through.
