We unequivocally condemn the attack by Hamas on October 7th. This attack cannot be used to justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian population.

To stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine

Concerned residents urgently call for local businesses to boycott Israeli products until Israel complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights and its apartheid system is dismantled. Since* October 7th, Israel has: Continuously bombarded the densely populated Gaza Strip, killing over 27,000 Palestinians, of which over 10,000 are children. Engaged in the collective punishment of Gaza’s population through cutting off food, water, electricity, and fuel. This is a war crime, as is wilfully blocking humanitarian relief from reaching civilians in need. Used white phosphorus, a chemical that ignites when in contact with oxygen, causing horrific and severe burns, on densely populated neighbourhoods. White phosphorus can burn down to the bone and burns to 10% of the human body are often fatal. Displaced over 2 million Gazans from their homes and have turned the majority of buildings to rubble. The International Court of Justice has found that a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. However, Israel is continuing its offensive, with support from the US. It is essential that we act and increase the international pressure in the form of a boycott to stop the genocide, and to push for Palestinian liberation and the dismantling of Israeli Apartheid once a ceasefire is called. Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a peaceful, effective Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. It asserts that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity. It has proven to be the most effective, non-violent approach to demand these rights.

We need peace in the world

Israel is committing war crimes and genocide against the people of Palestine. Thousands of children are dying before our eyes. Families are being wiped out. Lives are being destroyed. Expelling the Israeli Ambassador would communicate a strong message that we, the people of Ireland, do NOT accept genocide and mass destruction. It would give courage to other nations around the world to stand in solidarity and do the same. It would send the message that - no matter how small the nation, our voices will be heard. We can not afford to be quiet today. We need to raise our voices for those who cannot and take a stand. Sign the petition to Expel the Israeli Ambassador NOW!

You visited Ireland just six months ago to mark peace on our island, the contribution to it of the US government and your own much loved Irish heritage. We know well the imperfections of the peace in Northern Ireland, and how far we still have to go. But the days of constant killings, and unbearable suffering are over here. At times it seemed impossible, but it was done. Now we are watching in horror as the leader of the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu launches a genocidal war on the people of Gaza, who are without food, water, fuel or electricity, having already lived in an apartheid state for decades. As President of the United States of America, you have an unique role to play. We ask you to do all in your power to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and work towards a sustained peace in the region grounded in justice, freedom and equality for all.

On the back of the Citizens' Assembly, urgent change to cannabis policy is needed.

Ms Von De Leyen has endorsed a war crime in the name of EU citizens. Not only is this morally repugnant but it is a serious breach of democratic protocol which threatens the very fabric of the European project and has seriously weakened the EU's ability to respond to war crimes in the future. If the EU is to regain any credibility and salvage its ability to respond to war crimes in the future, then Ms Von De Leyen must be censured and removed from office immediately. The longer Ms Von De Leyen remains in office the more damage this breach of protocol will do to the European project.

Stop Palestinian genocide

Disabled people want to live full and equal lives. We want to work in secure, adequately paid employment with the necessary education, skills, qualifications, access, opportunities, and services i.e. Personal supports and transport. Forcing people into discriminatory and degrading assessments and being categorised based on impairments for the purpose of social protection is degrading, inhumane, and tramples over our human rights as per UN Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities and the Employment Equality Act.

In 2023, 25 years after the Good Friday Agreement, only 8% of NI kids go to integrated schools despite huge demand. Right now, the Department of Education has a public consultation on their 'Action Plan' and anyone can comment. Tell the Department of Education - we want a REAL Action Plan for integrated education.
