Welcome Palestine Embassador
Transcript
00:00We welcome the Palestinian Ambassador.
00:11The Palestinian people have a right to their homeland.
00:18Having endured generations of dispossession, occupation, oppression, apartheid,
00:26human rights violations that should shake humanity.
00:30Tonight, hell rains down on Gaza.
00:34Gaza, the graveyard of children.
00:38A child's life taken every ten minutes.
00:42Israel claims to act in self-defense.
00:46Carpet bombing civilians, collective punishment,
00:50massacring children in their thousands is not defense.
01:08These are not justifiable responses to the horrific attack by Hamas on October 7th.
01:15The world sees Israeli actions for what they are.
01:20Barbaric, hateful, cowardly war crimes.
01:36This is a moment of reckoning for world leaders, for the European Union.
01:42A test of commitment to human rights, peace, democracy.
01:47We ask, where is the protection of international law for every child killed in Gaza?
01:56For every Gazan mother holding the cold body of their dead child?
02:02Israel cannot be allowed to commit atrocities with impunity.
02:09The government says that Israel's actions cannot be without consequences.
02:15I agree.
02:17That is why the Irish government must take the lead
02:21and refer Israel to the International Criminal Court
02:25and send the Israeli ambassador home.
