Trade suspension refers to halting the exchange of goods, services, and financial activities between countries. In this context, it would mean ending or reducing economic interactions with Israel as a response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Proponents argue that suspending trade applies pressure on Israel to pursue peaceful resolutions and signals opposition to human rights abuses. Opponents argue that trade suspensions harm diplomatic relations, hurt economic interests on both sides, and may escalate tensions rather than promote peace.

Lessen trade but I don’t know to what extent we trade with them. We should stand for morality but not hurt our own economy in the process
@B22DPSD2wks2W
Yes, Ireland should cease trade relations with any countries who perpetrate or facilitate war crimes.
@9ZX76R33wks3W
Yes, but because of Israeli oppression of, and discrimination against Palestinians, including those in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Not just Israel's part in the Israel Hamas war.
@9ZWW7F83wks3W
Yes and they should also hold all people of an Isreali citizenship in Ireland hostage until the war ends
@9ZVZV4G4wks4W
This is a difficult question with many nuances. Hamas is a terrorist organisation with the goal of destroying Israel. But Israel is committing Domicide in Gaza, making it impossible for the population to live there.
@9ZVZMYP4wks4W
Trade with Israel should ONLY benefit children and vulnerable people living there who are NOT involved with the conflicts. Citizens are still citizens. Palestine should be the priority for any aid provided by Ireland
@9ZVN7664wks4W
It’s not Israel-Hamas, it’s literally Israel committing genocide. Would you call the freedom fighters from the 1916 rising terrorists?
@9ZVDPHY4wks4W
There are more important issues in Ireland that the government should be focused on. Not a war that has nothing to do with us when we are a neutral country.
