How Low Is the Irish Government Willing to Stoop?

(Daily Express-UK) Angela Epstein - The massacre in Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 was genocide - as defined by the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The intention was to wipe out people purely because of their ethnic background. How ironic that the Irish Government is accusing the Jewish state of genocide. Dublin's politicians are asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to broaden its definition of genocide - claiming Israel has engaged in the "collective punishment" of people in Gaza. The move by the Irish government overlooks overwhelming evidence that Israel's campaign in Gaza is anything but genocide. Routinely Israel is lauded by military experts for the humane way in which it is fighting the war. If the determination was to kill for the sake of killing, why drop leaflets warning innocent people to take cover? It remains unconscionable that Israel's attempts to protect its citizens and secure the release of hostages, while trying to avoid loss of innocent life, is labeled as genocide. Israel's war is not with the Palestinian people. Otherwise it would surely have flattened Gaza within days of the Oct. 7 attack. Hamas's founding charter shows that its raison d'etre is the killing of the Jewish people - in other words, genocide.
