ShannonWatch Vigil
Clare BDS
Thanks to @ShannonWatch we know that at least 23 military/ military contract flights were facilitated by @shannonAirport and @airnavireland, most likely on route to the ongoing Genocide in Gaza, the war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon and the ILLEGAL war of Aggression against Iran.
shannon_airport, like other U.S. bases in Europe, is being used on a daily basis to transfer weapons and troops to carry out war crimes in the Middle East.
Spain, France, Austria and Italy have restricted use of their airports and airspace to U.S. military to put pressure on them to end their war of aggression. When will @finegael/ @fiannafail take action against the U.S. Israel Genocide and War Crimes in Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran??
We expect elected representatives, the TDs like @cathalcrowetd, to uphold International Law and fulfil their duties under the #GenocideConvention.
Where is the Air Navigation and Transport (Arms Embargo) Bill 2024 @timmydooleytd ?? why did you stall it in May 2024? #ArmsEmbargoNOW https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/seanad/2024-05-29/11/
@internationalcriminalCourt @cij_icj.
Thanks to the On The Ditch we know:
@michealmartintd told journalists there are “no weapons” passing through the airport – but his @fiannafail and government colleague @darraghobriantd authorised US troops carrying guns to land in county #Clare.
The soldiers were on their way to Kuwait – a critical hub for US forces in the ILLEGAL war on #Iran – and were travelling the day before a US airstrike killed 168 Iranian schoolgirls and staff.
@dept_transport confirmed the exemptions.
