An 29 Samhain, déanann na Náisiúin Aontaithe an Lá Idirnáisiúnta um Dhlúthpháirtíocht le Muintir na Palaistíne a chomóradh. Tugtar deis dúinn an lá sin ár machnamh a dhéanamh ar na huafáis laethúla atá muintir na Palaistíne a fhulaingt: cinedhíothú, glanadh eitneach, forghabháil neamhdhleathach, cinedheighilt, coinneáil agus léigear. Thug mo chomhghleacaithe i Sinn Féin, Emma Sheerin agus Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire, cuairt ar Ramallah le déanaí, áit ar bhuail siad agus ar éist siad le híospartaigh chóras leatromach Iosrael. Is léir dúinn gur tháinig Netanyahu agus a réimeas salach ar gach bunphrionsabal; tá a gcuid gníomhartha go dubh in éadan chearta an duine agus an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Le breis agus dhá bhliain, lena chogadh cinedhíothaithe i gcoinne mhuintir na Palaistíne, scrios Iosrael Stráice Gaza – áit a n-aithnítear anois mar reilig do leanaí agus don dlí idirnáisiúnta. Cuireann fírinne shaol na bPalaistíneach faoi leatrom Iosrael rogha shimplí roimh an phobal idirnáisiúnta: an seasann muid leis na daoine atá faoi chois nó leis an tíoránach? Anois, níos mó ná riamh, caithfidh feachtas dlúthpháirtíochta idirnáisiúnta maidir le baghcat, dífheistiú agus smachtbhannaí díriú go straitéiseach ar dheireadh a chur le córais leatromacha Iosrael. Agus muid ag déanamh ár machnaimh ar lá seo na dlúthpháirtíochta, tá focail Terence MacSwiney, iar-Ardmhéara Chathair Chorcaí, thar a bheith oiriúnach dúinn:
“Ní acu sin is mó a dhéanas lot a bheas an bua ach acu sin is mó a bhfuil fulaingt iontu.”
