Solidarity is not a crime. Silence is.

From Pécs to Palestine, the message is the same:

Solidarity is not a crime. Silence is.

It’s been one year since the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel’s occupation is illegal. Since then, the world has watched a genocide unfold – and done nothing to stop it.

We’ve seen mass starvation.
Illegal blockades.
And now: the criminalization of humanitarian aid.

What are we waiting for?

Ireland must act. Now.

Tell the Irish government: The time for statements is over. The time for action is now.

Together, we say:

Humanity must win.

Take action now

Dear Tánaiste, One year has now passed since the International Court of Justice issued its Advisory Opinion on the illegality of Israel’s prolonged occupation of Palestinian territory. Since then, the UN General Assembly has called for Israel’s withdrawal from all occupied areas. Yet instead of moving toward compliance with international law, Israel has escalated its violations – deepening its occupation, intensifying its assault on Gaza, and now intercepting and arbitrarily detaining humanitarian workers trying to deliver life-saving aid. In the face of mass starvation in Gaza, peaceful civilians from the Global Sumud Flotilla have been illegally detained by Israeli forces for attempting to break an illegal blockade. These individuals were acting in accordance with humanitarian principles and international law. Their detention is a violation of those same laws – and a moral outrage. What are we waiting for? The world has heard the legal judgments. We have seen the evidence. We are witnessing a genocide in real time. We must act now to stop the starvation, uphold the law, and protect those who stand for justice. Mere condemnation is not enough. We need action, including unilateral action now to stop Israel receiving special privileges under the association agreement, as well as unequivocal action to bring Ireland into compliance with the ICJ’s ruling. Your government has both a moral responsibility and a legal obligation to respond decisively. The time for statements has passed. The international rules-based order cannot survive selective enforcement — nor can it survive silence in the face of genocide. We trust you will meet this moment with the urgency and principle it demands. Yours sincerely,
