Irish MEP: Clare Daly Nov 8
"Thanks, President. A month has elapsed since the commencement of the unrelenting mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza.
It's not a spiral of violence Frau Von Der Leyen. It's genocide, openly declared and carried out by the apartheid state of Israel. Starvation, bombing hospitals, ambulances, journalists and humanitarian routes.
10,000 dead. 1 in 200 Gazans killed. A Palestinian child slaughtered every 10 minutes for a month!
And Frau Von Der Leyen's answer to this graveyard for children is to tell Israel to "Avoid civilians. Be as targeted as you can."
Well that displays some neck. You can't even call for it to stop. You can't even call for a ceasefire.
Well, of course you can't, because these crimes against humanity are being carried out with your weapons in your name when you stood with Israel a month ago and you said you'd stand with them now and in the days to come.
So don't come in here trying to wipe the blood off with belated concern. It's not just Israel's genocide, it's yours, and the hague isn't good enough for you."
