Can Ireland Stand Up to the Israeli Lobby in the U.S.?
As Ireland pushes ahead with the Occupied Territories Bill, senior US politicians and diplomats are warning of serious consequences.

Joining TonightVMTV to debate Ireland’s role and responsibility in the Middle East are Fianna Fáil TD Shay Brennan, Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan, and legal and political commentator Larry Donnelly. —- The Tonight Show with Kieran Cuddihy | Tuesday & Wednesday | Virgin Media One & Virgin Media Play —- #TonightVMTV #Ireland #OccupiedTerritoriesBill #IrelandForeignPolicy #MiddleEastDebate #IsraelPalestine #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #TonightVMTV #IrishPolitics #Oireachtas #EUForeignPolicy #USIrelandRelations Credit to : Virgin Media News
