Dozens of protesters showed their support for Palestine in a demonstration rejecting US policies in front of the Irish Parliament on Friday. 

Protesters headed to the location just before a parliamentary meeting was due with members of the US House of Representatives, carrying signs with slogans such as "End the Genocide", "Palestinian Babies Are Not Targets", and "The Nakba Never Ended", in a firm stance against the aggression against Gaza.

Others wore masks of US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's faces to depict their complicity in the genocide in Gaza. 

The protesters voiced their disapproval of the policies of the US and Israeli governments through chants and banners, especially regarding human rights abuses in Palestine, demanded an immediate halt to the violence, and sought justice for the Gaza Strip.

Jack Spicer, a New Zealander participating in the protest, shared his perspective on the importance of the demonstration with Anadolu, saying "In Ireland, where the spirit of resistance is strong, it is unacceptable for war criminals and US terrorism to converge here."

"We are here to support Palestine against the Zionist terrorist state of Israel. We stand with the Palestinian people, the occupied 1948 regions, the West Bank, and Gaza. We are here to say 'no' to genocide, to weapons, and to the US military aiding the terrorist Israeli state through Ireland. We will stand here and remain with the Palestinian people," he added.

Ireland calls for review of EU-'Israel' deal over Gaza genocide

Earlier in August, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris encouraged the European Union to review its partnership agreement with "Israel" in light of the continuous human rights violations against people in Gaza and other parts of occupied Palestine.

His plea comes in the aftermath of the brutal Israeli massacre targeting displaced families in the al-Tabieen School in Gaza City, which killed and maimed hundreds of innocent civilians.

"We have all been horrified by the many undoubted war crimes that have been committed in Gaza. There can be no impunity. Those responsible must be held to account," Harris affirmed. 

He further stated that he was "particularly disturbed" by the United Nations' declaration that the amount of humanitarian supplies to Gaza has been cut in half, from an average of 169 trucks per day in April to fewer than 80 trucks per day in June and July.

The Irish Times quoted the PM calling the images coming out of the massacre "gut-wrenching", adding that Ireland "condemns outright such awful and wholesale loss of civilian life."

Harris pointed to the UN assessing that more than 80% of Gaza has been placed under evacuation orders since October, expressing that "when people are told to leave, they have nowhere to go, so they often go to schools," reiterating the necessity for a ceasefire.

In addition, he stated that the International Court of Justice's directives, which called for an end to the illegal occupation of the Gaza Strip, must be fully executed.

"Too many innocent lives have been lost in 10 months," he maintained.
