Hamas breached international law by targeting innocent civilians, which was condemned worldwide. However, Israel has been consistently breaching international law for decades by occupying Palestinian land, enforcing an apartheid system, and attacking Palestinian civilians. World leaders, including our government, have repeatedly stated that Israel has the right to defend itself, despite knowing the consequences. This has allowed Israel to bombard civilians, enforce displacement, and deny essential supplies to the Palestinian population. The international community fails to acknowledge Palestine's right to defend itself, even in situations where they are met with military assaults and killings. It is crucial for countries like Ireland to lead the way in calling for immediate ceasefires, international intervention, and a just peace settlement for a free and independent Palestine.
