No. We haven't. That's the point. But there's a limit to what a small country can achieve from the other side of Europe. The Irish are the prime example they've always stood up for Palestine it just doesn't make enough of a difference. They don't deserve to be lumped in with the Americans just because they aren't powerful.
Ireland and Spain are making some good moves lately but the only Western countries that can really moral high ground this one are Sweden and Iceland
The Irish government have also not always stood up for Palestine. They have even bought israeli weapons in 2010
I disagree with the premise that standing up for Palestine means you have to always and in every instance act against Israel. This isn't a fight to the death where only one side can survive and shouldn't be framed that way.
Buying weapons from Genocidal Nazis sure isn't helping Palestine.
