The Irish government has an unacceptable record of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses. It is common knowledge that Shannon was used as a stopover for CIA aircraft incolved in the ‘extaordinary rendition of prisoners. Our government ignored calls for inspection procedures to be put in place. Both the European Commisioner and UN High Commisioner of Human for Human Rights stated that Irelands acceptance of diplomatic assurances was not enough.
Once again we are in a position where the Irish government is unwilling to act when faced with a humanitarian crisis. Calls for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador are well justifed.
History teaches that real change comes from the people. With that in mind a petition has been started to close the Israeli embassy and expel the ambassador.
