Can some one please provide me with a full list
of member countries of the Human Rigghts Council of the UN?
Just to be clear, Ireland is not currently a member of the UN Human Rights Council.
The EU members are currently France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Britain, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
Other European nations represented include Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Russia, Ukraine
So Al-Jazeera has misreported the fact that ALL the EU has abstained on voting on the resolution.
Nonetheless, given the weight, power & sympathies of the above EU nations, a common EU foreign policy minister would more than likely vote or abstain as above.
This is dispacable, this is an outrage, how could they a bunch of morans, I think I will emigrate to somewhere away from the Zionists.
Libertas has just recruited new NO voters.
Shame on them.
Let there be no mistake about it - this single act of cowardice and betrayal of the Palestinian people by the Irish government has exposed the extent to which Irish sovereignty has been sacrificed to placate our European masters who dictate that Europe must speak with one voice. And that voice - now our voice - is controlled by states such a Britain, Germany and France where a Zionist lobby holds sway.
Minister Michael Martin can issue "calls" for Israeli restraint until he's blue in the face. Both he and the warmongers in Israel know "calls" from Ireland have zero impact. When Minister Martin got the opportunity to register Ireland's opposition to Israel's overwhelmingly disproportionate use of force and terror against defenceless and voiceless civilians he failed to speak out for the voiceless.
Shame on him - shame on Ireland.
If anyone wanted a single reason to vote against the ratification of Lisbon II, when our "friends" in Europe try again to ram it down our throats, this is surely it.
We won't forget and neither will the thousands of terrorised, traumatised, and maimed civilians in Gaza
The EU countries on the HRC abstained. Germany made a speech on behalf of the entire EU - inluding Ireland, therefore, so we DID have a part in it - saying the motion was "extremist".
Did ireland have a part to play in this?
