The US Embassy in Dublin has responded after the Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill was signed into law in Ireland on Thursday, July 23.

“The Israeli Settlements Bill risks real unintended consequences, particularly for nearly 1,000 U.S. companies and the hundreds of thousands of Irish jobs tied to them,” the US Embassy in Ireland said on Friday.

"If the goal is to make a meaningful difference for Palestinians, the focus should be on coordinated international efforts that deliver real impact, not symbolic measures that harm Ireland’s economy and will not advance peace.

“We urge Ireland to avoid pushing similarly unhelpful initiatives at the EU-level.”

    I’m inclined to believe that the only “unintended consequences” will be in Genocid-ael and its puppet state reminding the world that boycotts do indeed work.

    Based.

    We should all be like the Irish.

    Apparently, you’re only supposed to interfere with trade if the target has hurt the pedo-in-chief’s feelings.
