Arming Apartheid - Dublin Government Allows Israeli Airforce Over Irish Airspace To Collect US Weaponry
As first reported by The Ditch news website, the Dublin Government is currently facilitating the arming of Israeli Offence Forces, with multiple Israeli aircraft allowed entry into Irish airspace on their way to the United States to collect arms and explosives.
This is despite both Taoiseach Simon Harris and Tánaiste Micheál Martin asserting earlier this summer that sovereign Irish airspace was not being used to transport weaponry to Apartheid Israel.
The aircraft in question began utilising this route in *January, passing over Ireland with their cargo of death multiple times, safe in the knowledge that AirNav Ireland, the state-owned air traffic management service, allowed them entry.
Just this month, two Israeli aircraft were facilitated in collecting arms and explosives from a military base in the US. The aircraft in question left Nevatim air base on the 14th and 16th of August respectively, with both on their way to Travis Air Force Base in California.
The Dublin Government, as a signatory to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), has an obligation to prevent and punish the crime of genocide - a crime of which the Apartheid state of Israel is evidently guilty of!
The scenes of death and destruction being facilitated by the Dublin government.
The Dublin Government must immediately cut all links they may have with the Apartheid state of Israel!
They must close off Irish airspace to Israeli aircraft on their way to collect US weaponry, they must withdraw the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) from Israel, they must end Garda cooperation with Israeli ‘security’ forces, they must expel the Israeli ambassador and embassy, and they must impose economic, cultural, sporting and political sanctions against the Apartheid state of Israel.
These are the sort of measures that were taken against Apartheid South Africa and they helped bring about an end to that despicable regime.
For our part, we in Éirígí will continue to stand with the Palestinian people as we have done for the last eighteen years. As internationalists we recognise that their struggle against US-backed Israeli aggression is at one with our own struggle against British aggression in this country. Occupation no more!
*The Ditch have since reported that these flights actually began from as early as October of last year.
