Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

offsite link Child Sacrifice and Our Desire to Ignore It Sat Jan 18, 2025 09:00 | Dr David Bell
Some actions of humans are so dark that we prefer to ignore them, and may be quietly grateful when truthtellers are censored. But we must stop being willing to overlook the sacrifice of children, writes Dr David Bell.

We all watched with horror and outrage as Israeli commandos massacred at least 9 people on the Freedom Flotilla, hijacked the Gaza-bound aid boats in international waters and imprisoned, abused and deported the human rights activists on board. The Irish boat, the MV Rachel Corrie, was then hijacked almost a week later despite demands from the Irish government that it be allowed safe passage.

Irish public opinion was outraged and all around the island supporters of the Palestinian people and the Flotilla demonstrated their anger and protested the Israeli attacks on the unarmed aid ships that sought to break the illegal siege of Gaza.

The Irish government promised "further diplomatic actions" if the Rachel Corrie was not allowed safe passage to Gaza and the blockade lifter. Thus far, no such action has been taken, or even hinted at.

This meeting will see some of the Irish participants on the Freedom Flotilla talk of their experiences, and crucially will discuss what practical steps Irish people can help take to bring about the end of the siege of Gaza and Israeli apartheid as a whole and secure self determination for the people of Palestine. Central to this will be the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign aimed at forcing Israel to respect its obligations under international law.

The speakers will be Dr. Fintan Lane of the IPSC who was on board the Challenger 1 which was hijacked on Monday 31 May and Derek Graham who was first mate on the MV Rachel Corrie which was hijacked on Sat 5 June.

ALL WELCOME

' The Irish Government promised "Further diplomatic actions".....Thus far, no such action has been taken,or even hinted at.'

Well Evrony is fireproof, and will probably be decorated by Tel Aviv for his exemplary service.If movement is wanted a fire will have to be lit under our Minister, if he can be traced.He is quite a sensitive chap our Michael, especially if the flame is applied to the seat of his constituency.Likes the liberal identity he has built up, good cop to Dermot Ahern's iron-man.The media watch-dog is gone back to its footy and footsie and will yawn at pickets on the embassy as it usually does,at best. Stephen's Green and the Tone Corner?The injuries are done but the insults can still be responded to.Or get Martin out and a fresh stooge in.His implosion is a public embarrasment.And a dangerous precedent.Not that it would be the first of those to get past our keepers.
