“#UrsulaVonDerLeyen has shown herself time and time again to be a willing, complicit partner in #Israel’s genocidal actions in #Gaza, and now she is giving political and diplomatic cover to Netanyahu’s dangerous escalation with #Iran." - Lynn Boylan

It's all fair and well being the "Change Candidate" but you've got to have real change backing you up or the voters will drift.

"Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael vote against Sinn Féin’s Bill to stop #Ireland being used to funnel money into #Israel’s genocide in #Palestine by facilitating sale of war bonds through Irish Central Bank.
"Bonds that fund weapons to slaughter innocent men, women and children.
"They do not speak for the Irish people. We will not give up 🇵🇸 "

Saoirse don Phalaistín!
Irish TDs are due to vote on a #SinnFéin bill which seeks to prevent the Central Bank from having any involvement with #Israeli bonds.
The Government has indicated it will oppose the proposal, in part, for legal reasons.
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe told the Dáil last night that the Government could not support the Sinn Féin legislation as he had been advised such a measure would be inconsistent with EU law and therefore subject to legal challenge. #Palestine #IsraelWarCrimes
UK MP Jeremy Corbyn & #EU MP Lynn Boylan on #Europe Pressuring Israel to Halt Atrocities in #Gaza

"...The U.K. Labour government announced this week it is suspending free trade talks with #Israel and imposing sanctions on some #Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The European Union says it will also review its trade ties with #Israel.
“There’s been an enormous shift in public opinion, and it’s caused by utter revulsion at seeing emaciated children starve to death,” says #JeremyCorbyn, former #UK #Labour leader who now sits as an independent in the British Parliament.
“We have countries within the EU who are significant weapons providers to the Israeli state. If they wanted this conflict, this war and genocide to end tomorrow, then they need to stop supplying weapons to Israel,” says #Irish politician Lynn Boylan, a member of #SinnFéin who sits in the #EuropeanParliament.

"#SinnFéin Leader #MaryLouMcDonald has today called on the Irish government to back Sinn Féin’s legislation to end the Irish Central Bank facilitating #Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. [...]
“ 'The Irish Central Bank should not be – cannot be – facilitating that genocide through the sale of Israeli war bonds.' "

I am glad Mary Lou spoke up. She's one of the most powerful and popular non government politicians in the country *and* she has a trans sister. There is no "debate" about trans people, we exist, it's that simple. Our lives aren't a populist political football.
I still will never give any preference to Sinn Féin again (I am considering never voting in elections at all again, finally starting to understand that part of Anarchism).
