Do you support the government calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza?

The Israel-Hamas war is an armed conflict between Israel and Hamas militant groups that has been taking place in and around the Gaza strip since October 7 2023. The conflict started when Hamas militant groups fired rockets and attacked communities and military bases in southern Israel. 1,139 people were killed in the attack including 766 civilians and 373 civilian forces. 250 Israelis were taken hostage by Hamas.

Yes

 @B8GWNDVagreed…6mos6MO

More than 50,000 people died in gaza due to israel's policy of carpet bombing the whole area in the attempt to destroy hamas.
The constant bombing of gaza will not destroy hamas, but increase support FOR hamas and other anti israeli groups as they have been radicalised by israel.

 @9ZT5NWLagreed…1yr1Y

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

 @9M7MR9Yagreed…2yrs2Y

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

 @B8GWNDVdisagreed…6mos6MO

Why would you want to see more death and destruction in an already destroyed gaza and risk the lives of the hostages still inside, some hostages did die due to israeli friendly fire.

 @9ZCP867disagreed…1yr1Y

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

 @9ZT5NWLdisagreed…1yr1Y

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 disagreed…2yrs2Y

I oppose genocide and the existence of ethnistates??? I don't see how this is an issue of contention

 @9MD5DL3answered…2yrs2Y

Once the hostages are returned then a ceasefire will happen. Hamas are terrorists.

 @9K2SH6Lanswered…2yrs2Y

I would support this if, as part of the ceasefire, hamas hands over all the Israeli hostages they have over to Israel

 @9LGM6SVIndependent answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9N68BC5answered…2yrs2Y

Yes

AND decolonisation of Palestine

 @MG---SwIndependent answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @B4LP829answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9ZJ6PFRSinn Féinanswered…1yr1Y

Ireland is a neutral country and should not get involved

 @9ZCTZV6answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9ZC7DT8answered…1yr1Y

Does a permanent ceasefire mean hams stops its jihad?

 @9Z9753Wanswered…1yr1Y

No point without all sides committing to an agreed solution.

 @9YLWFQBanswered…1yr1Y

No we are a neutral county and should not be involving ourselves in to wars in other countries

 @9NPFWRLanswered…2yrs2Y

I supported one if thay means Isreal ahead the entire coastline

 @9NL96HManswered…2yrs2Y

No, Ireland should stop preoccupying itself with Gaza in detriment to other local and international issues.

 @9WJ59MRLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @JoeM995answered…2yrs2Y

No

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)
