Now send a message to TDs & Senators
Thank you so much for signing! Now let’s double our impact with messages. Personal messages make a big difference to politicians because they see that their constituents really care. Please take 2 minutes to write your own short message of support for this Bill to all TDs and Senators on the right -- the messages will be delivered to them directly.

Here are some talking points that can help you frame your message:
  • All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law and are war crimes under the Fourth Geneva Convention – no state except Israel disputes this – and this has been reaffirmed time and again by the UN, the EU, the Irish Government and the International Court of Justice (2004).
  • The Bill has a sound legal basis in EU law, as confirmed by two eminently respected Seniors Counsels in both Ireland and Britain.
  • This Bill would set an important precedent in Europe and beyond that would back up words of condemnation with actions when it comes to stopping profiteering from stolen land and resources. Many experts see supporting settlements as an international crime, and Ireland make sure it is not aiding these violations.
