Cllrs Eric Byrne, Bill Tormey (Fine Gael) and Julia Carmichael (Fianna Fail) vehemently opposed the sole condemnation of the Zionist State, pushing for a motion that equally condemned Hamas. Cllrs Daithi Doolan and Killian Forde of Sinn Fein expressed a willingness to amend the motion, but pointed out that to water down the current motion was to incorrectly present the war as being a two-sided conflict, a situation Cllr. Forde maintained was simply at odds with reality.
On a forum yesterday evening L'Chaim, a nom-de-guerre of the Zionist State's many apologists, confidently stated that while Muslims were out in the cold, chanting and waving placards – they were busy lobbying those who matter. On this, we must agree, we have now witnessed the strength of such lobbying at DCC. Time to learn, while we march, they shape the politic!
You can watch the debate here, counter setting 02:22. You can also write to Cllr. Doolan thanking him for his support.
