Impunity is emboldening Israeli apartheid regime. The ICC must investigate the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli forces

RIP Shireen

"The barbarous funeral footage of frenzied Israeli police beating pallbearers with batons, lays bare the monster spawned by decades of international indifference. Emboldened by inaction, the police conducted their rampage of violence knowing the world was watching".

"Israeli settlements are illegal under international law, yet no sanctions have been imposed".

"Shireen Abu Akleh was a trailblazing, respected journalist who used her voice to amplify those of her beloved fellow Palestinians. The international community, including Ireland, must speak up now and call for sanctions against Israel. Silence and inaction kill, just as surely as a bullet in the head".
