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?

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At least 40,000 people have been killed by Israeli forces, and many more have been left with life-altering injuries.

Now, The Ditch has revealed that three Israeli planes have flown over Ireland this year alone, transporting more than 24 tonnes of weapons for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).

We demand that Minister for Defence Micheál Martin and Taoiseach Simon Harris 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.
