The Key

“I welcome the government’s condemnation of Israel's decision to refuse entry to two British MPs. Will they end the sale of weapons being used to murder Palestinians?”

“Israel needs to stop detaining, torturing and killing doctors and other medical staff. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya must be released ASAP.”

“Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked.”

“I’m heartbroken to hear that Muhammad Khalifa has been murdered by Israel. Khalifa was one of the amazing Gaza Kids that came to Ireland. He could achieved anything if Israel hadn’t slaughtered him. Sympathies to all his friends and family. Rest in peace.”

“I'm joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Admin immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil.”

“The 2.2 million people in Gaza have endured unimaginable suffering. More than 47,000 killed. More than 111,000 injured.Schools, hospitals, homes - all destroyed. Now Trump wants to force them out of their homeland so he can turn it into a playground for the rich.”

“President Trump is illegally using ICE to silence dissent and is waging a war on the First Amendment. Mahmoud Khalil is a legal green card holder who was targeted for his activism. He is a political prisoner. I’m demanding his immediate release.

“The President of the United States is calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. There are more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip, nearly half of them are children. Absolutely vile. He must be held accountable for his genocidal remarks.”

“The Trump Administration’s treatment of Mahmoud Khalil is inhumane and unconstitutional. I was proud to join Valdez, Aviles, and 27 city, state, and federal officials to call for his immediate release.”

“I was due to travel to Palestine as part of an official European Parliament delegation, but was refused permission to travel by Israel, and deported. Israel’s blocking of MEPs and senior EU officials from travelling to Palestine is an insult to all in the EU.”

“Think about the homes we’ve purposefully destroyed in the utter decimation of Gaza with our bombs. Maybe we can be more empathetic and stop the killing and wanton destruction. There’s enough suffering in the world without us creating more.”

“Palestine really is the litmus test of our time.”

“We call on the world to take serious actions, to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.”

“We all must do more to call for peace - a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and a free Palestine.”

“Every child is a precious blessing. I am shattered as I grieve for Kfir, Ariel and Shiri. The past year we have seen the rights of children in conflict decimated. The basic human rights of Israeli and Palestinian children disregarded with such callous cruelty.”
