This is vital for society. If convicted criminals have no real hope for a future in society what they have negative incentive to abide by society's rules.
We have seen those throughout history and it has been obvious since the invention of prisons.

There's only two kinds of people who say we, as a society, cannot afford nice things like universal basic income and free healthcare:
1. People who lack imagination repeating what they've been told

Even if everyone in Palestine dies or leaves, that land can never rightfully belong to Israel and should never be recognised as Israeli by the the international community.

They do the work. They really do. I get at least 40 messages a day from the 3 different Ireland/Palestine solidarity clubs I'm in. They are always working on something, usually multiple campaigns at once. If there is an antonym for performative activism it's the Irish. They walk the walk.

Israeli war bonds won’t be sold in Ireland from tomorrow.
Israel today moved its bond prospectus approval process to Luxembourg.
It has also not included Ireland as one of the member states where it will sell its war bonds.

It is a far shite grift imported from England and supported by the US because it makes it easier for both UK and US to manipulate and exploit ireland. You all saw what the US did when "rebuilding" Iraq - they picked the corpse clean.

People of Ireland, it should be clear to you all at this stage that we are sitting on a powder keg
Austerity and lack of social services have left large sections of the population with little to lose from chaos
