Any Op Ed insisting that Ireland should integrate militarily with the EU, and that avoids confronting EU complicity in genocide in Palestine, can only be seen as propaganda.

My father's father was conscripted into the US Infantry. The war ended as he was still in basic training.
The men enlisted before him had been sent to France. They sustained massive casualties.
His good fortune lives on in human form through us, his descendants.
