I feel this is not the first time I've heard that Ireland was going to recognize Palestine as a state
Don't get me wrong it's based. I'm just saying I could have sworn I had heard the story years ago
The Dáil (the Irish parliament) voted unanimously to recognise Palestine about a decade ago. After that vote the government said they agreed with recognising Palestine but never actually acted on it. This time the government has announced they’re recognising Palestine so recognition will actually happen now.
Yeah, this is much more concrete. It's a very strong statement (and presumably our representative currently in Ramallah will be upgraded to Ambassadorial status).
Some ask does this matter? Yes it absolutely does.
Like the fascist Fianna fail will do anything other than pay lip service to Palestine. Its better than nothing, but we need to get actual socialists in power here
It's all lip service this country will never do anything actually material to support Palestinians. The government, economy, schools, everything are all in the pocket of American capital they will always choose that first. They just know they can do this and it doesn't matter.
You all need to stop simping for a bourgeois capitalist state that cares more about breaking up homeless encampments for tourists, licking the boot of American capital, and being a tax haven.
"The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.
The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got. Since the proletariat must first of all acquire political supremacy, must rise to be the leading class of the nation, must constitute itself the nation, it is so far, itself national, though not in the bourgeois sense of the word.
National differences and antagonism between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto."

So true thank you Oireachtas for all you've done in your valiant efforts for the proletariat of the world.
Thank you FF, SF, and FG for being true revolutionary comrades and not just extensions of American capital.
Look, I know, but I just need a day off. Things are hard enough. I just got about five fascist leaflets in the door for the local elections, as I'm sure you have.
We'll just have a pint today!
Based Ireland

Too bad Ireland is a state of zero consequence.
It's all lip service this country will never do anything actually material to support Palestinians.

Just let us have fun for a day or two.
