Ireland's Enduring Support for Palestine
A Shared Struggle
Ireland, a predominantly Catholic nation, is a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, despite being geographically distant from the Middle East. This unwavering support finds its roots in Ireland's own history of struggle and oppression.
Ireland, which has long been a victim of British imperialism and sectarian violence, feels a deep affinity with the Palestinian people, who have faced similar challenges from Israeli occupation.
In 2021, Ireland became the first European Union country to declare that Israel was involved in the de-facto annexation of Palestinian territories. This declaration signaled Ireland's firm commitment to the protection of Palestinian rights and self-determination.
The Irish public's strong support for Palestine is reflected in the numerous solidarity movements and organizations present throughout the country. These groups engage in protests, advocacy campaigns, and fundraising efforts to support the Palestinian cause.
