Neutrality Rally, Dublin, Saturday 4th November

What I said at the Dublin rally last Saturday. Those in power want us to believe Irish neutrality is outdated, that we’re letting the side down. What side? The one that says “we stand with Israel“? No shame in letting that side down. There are billions now being spent on militarism that could be spent on the things that really make us safe, like housing and health and tackling climate change. Instead all those funds are ending up in the pockets of the military industrial complex. It’s a sham! We want ACTIVE neutrality. We want our government to go out and work for a peace resolution at the UN for a ceasefire. We want an arms embargo on Israel. We want to block US aircraft transiting our airports. No to war, no to EU militarism, no to Israeli terrorism. Long live Gaza.
