in the north of ireland, yes.n ireland is one day to be unified with the republic, to be one united ireland. do i believe in it? to me, and quite honestly, whether it happens or not is neither here nor there to me, because i believe more so the way my feet dance, the music i listen to, is kind of irish. but that doesn't say that i don't have a great love and affection for a lot of english or british things. one does not dissociate the other, and that's part of the problem. we have a lot of people who say, like, "that's the way we are. "that's wrong." it's just — it's too embedded, and the more progressive politics that we need in the north of ireland, we really need it. that's why i was very disappointed about the democratic unionist party, you know. of course, we're celebrating today because they finally said after two years, "we will try and move forward." but, you know, of any culture anywhere, when you face the people who keep saying, "no, never, notan inch, "surrender, i'll take the ball, i'm going home. "we'

that's ireland. has done everything over the past few years to make itself attractive to sort of large multi nationals and it has a low corporate tax rates, right? so there is the american chamber of commerce that is also named ireland as quote, the global location of choice for talents and innovation. so that's economic dependency by orleans on the united states. um, what does that hinder our lives, ability and willingness to stand with the palestinians as much as you'd like the country to spend with the palestinians isn't worried about us pressure. the cost would be worried about pressure. um, i personally don't, i think that's a smoke screen because i think corporations act in their own financial interest does in that interest of morality. so i don't think and the irish days if the attack system stay the same, i don't think they would be running away from islands at. but i think that might be something that the government likes to, you know, put out there as a, as an excuse for not taking action.

then ireland is better. so let me clear the israel has taken steps towards some of these countries, like for example, norway. okay. it didn't go to the lens, it has with ireland, but it did expel a diplomats a at a point in time just a few months ago. well, yeah, that you're absolutely correct uh during but, but the, uh, the, the differences. uh, and the pretext that is officially being employed here are being stated here. it's not ireland policies per se, but the fact of ireland quote, unquote intervene meaning joins south africa's petition to the international court of justice accusing israel genocide, that according to the foreign minister and according to the official statement, was a uh, quote on quote, the uh, red line that israel will not tolerate when it is cross and but, but honestly, i mean, i understand the, uh, the anger, i understand why people are raising their eyebrows. it was just a little grand standing up there of the most recklessly, stupid kind. but it is just grandstand. okay, me ho. thi

it's not ireland policies per se, about the fact of ireland quote unquote intervene meaning joins south africa's petition to the international court of justice, accusing israel genocide, that according to the foreign minister and according to the official statement, was a uh, quote on quote, the uh, red line that israel will not tolerate when it is cross and but, but honestly, i mean, i understand the, the anger, i understand why people are raising their eyebrows. it was just a little grand standing up the most recklessly, stupid kind. but it is just grandstand. okay. me whole of this, the statement that was issued by the iris for administer. this was part of it. he says that i believe firmly and the importance of maintaining diplomatic channels of communication and regret that this decision has been taken. so does this mean that orland then will continue having diplomatic relations with israel despite it now supporting the the i c j case which accuses israel of committing genocide and, and why does islands want relations as well? and i mean, obviously i'm not as folks for us and for th
