Stop Israeli warplanes flying over Ireland

We call on this Irish government to stop Israeli warplanes from using Irish airspace to transport their weapons. These weapons are being used to kill innocent people in Gaza.

Why is this important?

We call on this Irish government to stop Israeli warplanes from using Irish airspace to transport their weapons. These weapons are being used to kill innocent people in Gaza.


Why is this important?

Over the past 15 months, at least 47,000 people have been killed by Israeli occupation forces, including more than 17,000 children, while more than 100,000 have been maimed. In the West Bank, more than 800 people have been killed, and Israel’s brutal illegal occupation continues.

In 2024, the Irish government approved over 1,260 flights to carry weapons, unchecked, through Irish airspace. The Ditch has revealed at least 60 planes carrying thouhave flown over Ireland this year alone, transporting more than 100 tonnes of weapons for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
 
We demand that Taoiseach Micheál Martin act now to make sure that no more planes are allowed to transport Israeli weapons in Irish airspace. The people of Ireland want nothing to do with Israel's genocidal attack on Gaza, and we must stand up for what is right.
 
Ireland has an obligation under the Genocide Convention to ensure that we are not complicit in assisting the crime of genocide. This would include preventing use of Irish airspace to transport weapons.
