""Genocide is occurring in Gaza," said Navi Pillay, head of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and a former International Criminal Court judge. "The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons who have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza.""
""I stood alongside the president of Israel at the inauguration of Pope Leo, and I said to him that there were two consignments of Irish food. He told me they would be delivered within the day. "They are today in a van in Jordan, because words mean nothing.""
""The kind of actions that are necessary now, are the exclusion of those who are practising genocide, and those who are supporting genocide with armaments - we must look at their exclusion from the United Nations itself. "We should have no hesitation any longer in relation to ending trade with people who are inflicting this on our fellow human beings," President Higgins said."
Navi Pillay states that genocide is occurring in Gaza and attributes responsibility to Israeli authorities at the highest levels, alleging a genocidal campaign with intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza. The report cites killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic as evidence supporting the genocide finding. President Michael D Higgins describes the commission report as very important, recounts stalled Irish food consignments, calls international law and the UN to be in danger, and urges exclusion of those practising or supplying genocide and ending trade with them.
