The whole statement is great btw.
Ireland remains one of the only good white country. Any others you can think of?
Spain also increased funding I believe

Spain really stands out because I'd assume their social democratic government that they would just be like Germany.
They're in a coalition with the Catalan nationalists, who are very pro-palestine
That explains it.
And Norway. The one “good” Nordic?
Eeeeh, we're a mixed bag. Norway is the world's 6th biggest weapon producer and we have sold arms to Israel.
Not to mention we pride ourselves in being environmentally conscious despite our huge oil industry. And don't even get me started on the locals' views on East Europeans.
Brazil
"This inhumanity and cowardice must be stopped. The federal government (Brazil's govement) will provide new funding for UNRWA."
"We call on all countries to maintain and increase their contributions. The most urgent task is to establish a definitive ceasefire that allows for the provision of sustainable and unimpeded humanitarian aid and the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages. The persistence of the conflict in Palestine goes far beyond the Middle East."
- President Lula da Silva on Twitter
I want to mention that this isn't just the neoliberal government randomly deciding to have a good foreign policy, this is the result of constant, wide scale pro-palestinian demonstrations in Ireland. I live in Dublin and it's no exaggeration to say that I've seen massive protests at least once a week, there are posters everywhere organising marches and meetings, Palestine flags in a lot of windows, a lot of societies, like unions and student groups, demanding stronger support for Palestine, and so on.
Also yesterday students interrupted Bernie Sanders in his visit to a university and called him out for being a Zionist
Unfathomably based.
Come on China, Russia, easy PR win
Seriously.
Ireland is the only European country actively fighting against being part of the imperialist core
Russia is literally fighting a war against NATO, but yeah let’s call terf island jr the bastion of leftism in crackerland.
Ireland is to the UK as Cuba is to the US.
And personally I have it tied for first place as most likely place in the imperial core to go socialist. Greece being its competition.
You misunderstand. Russia is doing so much that they're no longer considered European.
While this is extremely based, remember that Ireland is also one of the world's largest "flag of convenience" nations that transnational corporations use to dodge tax liability in their home countries (Google is nominally headquartered there, if I recall correctly). They actively present themselves that way, and actively recruit people looking to hide their ill-gotten capital from the world. We 100% need to be loudly in support of their actions on Palestine, but it should still be critical support and calling them "the only good white country" is maybe going a little too far.
Ireland is long past the days of being revolutionary, their support for Palestine and such is merely a vestigial remnant of that past. Let’s not forget that last year the white men of Ireland fucking rioted over the existence of black and brown people, that chud Conner MacGregor made himself the self appointed leader of that mini pogrom through twitter.
Belarus is cool with me 🇧🇾
Hyperborea
Ireland should donate Mickey D to Palestine. like a spider-man showing up at a hospital, just a morale booster
Apparently Spiderman showing up at a hospital, when it's regarding Palestine, is actually anti-Semitism
Ireland politicians have been on fire from their PM dogs dissing Biden to the whole

We need to get some more Ireland emojis.
Theyre only good whites bevause for the longest time they were not considered white
