Sinn Féin has long been vocal in its support for the Palestinian people. But during this genocide, Palestinian and Irish activists have expressed growing dismay at how the political party has dragged its feet: First Sinn Féin resisted calls to expel the Israeli ambassador from Dublin and now it is refusing to heed demands that party leaders boycott St. Patrick’s Day festivities with President Joe Biden. Farrah Koutteineh has been a leading Palestinian voice in Ireland pressing Sinn Féin and other politicians to stay away from the White House next month. She was recently thrown out of a Sinn Féin meeting in Belfast after she interrupted a speech by the Palestinian Authority representative in Ireland and called for the party to heed the boycott calls. Farrah is founder of KEY48, a voluntary collective calling for the immediate right of return of over 7.4 million Palestinian refugees. She joined us to talk about the debate in Ireland. We were also joined by Electronic Intifada associate editor David Cronin, one of whose recent articles is titled “Ireland must disown Genocide Joe.” Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Professor David Miller, who was recently cleared of “anti-Semitism accusations by two thorough investigations ordered by his employer, Bristol University; Farrah Koutteineh, a leading Palestinian voice in Ireland pressing Sinn Féin and other politicians to stay away from the White House next month; Electronic Intifada associate editor David Cronin, on the day 131 livestream.
