How much longer will the international community sit back and watch an impending genocide in Gaza?

How much slaughter and indiscriminate destruction can western leaders stomach? More than 15,000 people have now been massacred in Gaza, including at least 6,000 children The Irish Government’s words of condemnation have been stronger than most EU countries, but words are not enough. It is long past time for sanctions to be imposed on Israel. It is now three weeks since the Taoiseach told me he would get legal advice on whether Israel is in breach of the human rights clause in the EU-Israel trade agreement. The next EU Council Meeting is on the 14th December, the Taoiseach should use the opportunity to call for sanctions on Israel.
