I agree with the cease fire to protect people imagen being in a war country and the fear of getting bombed or shot or killed and family's and people slaughtered like I don't agree with war and I k ow it has to be done to protect and stop the evil but the innocent and kids and family's need there rights and safety and helped
@9M7MR9Y1yr1Y
The current conflict has shown no sign of stopping or slowing and has only added to a list of egregious crimes against humanity. Bombing Gaza is not an effective strategy to end the conflict, and it will surely just radicalise more people. The only real way to eliminate Hamas is to establish just peace in the area, making them obsolete.

No
@9ZCP8676mos6MO
It’s a violation of the highest order of the most basic human rights and if you don’t support a ceasefire you are immoral and unethical
@9ZT5NWL5mos5MO
Yes I agree the ceasefire because dropping bombs ans killing innocent people is wrong stop the war and use a tactical way if needed for support and care and protection for the innocent
@9MDT4NT 12mos12MO
I oppose genocide and the existence of ethnistates??? I don't see how this is an issue of contention
@9M7MR9Y1yr1Y
The siege on Gaza actively endangers the hostages held there; Several hostages have already been killed by Israeli strikes. 33,000 Gazans have already been killed, the majority being women and children; This figure excludes those who have gone missing under the rubble and those who have died via starvation or due to the collapse of the healthcare system. The current approach isn't helping anyone.

We should mind our own business, it is a proxy war on another continent that has nothing to do with us we are a natural country, we'd want to start acting like it.
@9K2SH6L1yr1Y
I would support this if, as part of the ceasefire, hamas hands over all the Israeli hostages they have over to Israel
@9N68BC511mos11MO
AND decolonisation of Palestine
@MG---SwIndependent 5 days5D
Yes, and our recognition of a Palestinian state. I also want the government to speak out more against Israel's policies of apartheid, etnic cleansing in Palestine as a whole and for Ireland to encourage other EU countries to recognise Palestine. Also Ireland should put pressure on EU countries arming Israel to stop doing so. Ireland should arrest IDF soldiers (and any others) accused of warm crimes in Palestine.
@B4LP8294wks4W
Yes, the Genocide in Gaza and the operations in the west bank need to end now, and we need a free palestine free from Israeli occupation
@9Z9753W6mos6MO
No point without all sides committing to an agreed solution.
@9YLWFQB6mos6MO
No we are a neutral county and should not be involving ourselves in to wars in other countries
Ireland is a neutral country and should not get involved
@9ZCTZV66mos6MO
Yes, but only if that ceasfire was followed with political resolutions, because if not then I support Hamas' and the Palestinians' right to self defense against an illegally occupying force.
@9ZC7DT86mos6MO
Does a permanent ceasefire mean hams stops its jihad?
@9NPFWRL11mos11MO
I supported one if thay means Isreal ahead the entire coastline
@9NL96HM11mos11MO
No, Ireland should stop preoccupying itself with Gaza in detriment to other local and international issues.
I support the goverment in wanting to recognise that Israel has stolen the land of which the Palestinians once owned and apologise and rebuild the Palestine state
@JoeM99512mos12MO
Both sides wish to destroy the other. Israel has the better government, and offers a good life to their citizens (incl. the 17% of Israeli Muslim citizens)
