Opposition motions calling for a range of sanctions against Israel were voted down in the Dail parliament on Wednesday.

Opposition motions calling for a range of economic and diplomatic sanctions, including the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador in Dublin Dana Erlich, were defeated in the Dail on Wednesday evening.

Proposals for Ireland to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) were also voted down.

While the Government did not expel Russia’s ambassador after the invasion of Ukraine, it did back EU sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s regime and also referred its actions to the ICC.

      There are 10,000+ dead after a few weeks of bombing. 100 times that would be one million dead (or half the pre-attack population). I guess by your standard the Israelis are allowed to murder up to a million people before it becomes terror bombing?

      Your comparison to WWII is more apt than you think. Consider the firebombing of Dresden. What was the death toll? According to wiki “up to” 25,000. And 55% of the city destroyed. Currently Isreal’s body count is nearly half of a Dresden, with Gaza City virtually leveled! Even the blitz at 40,000 killed, the firebombing of Hamburg at 45,000 and the firebombing of Tokyo, which was the most deadly terror bombing campaign in history at 100,000 dead, are far below your number of one million.
