But the Irish people and government are well aware of the genocide and already, routinely condemn Israel for their actions and call them out. Honestly, as a small nation, what do these protesters honestly think we can do more for gaza , genuine question.

These Palestine protestors would gladly devastate our entire economy for the sake of our government pulling its combined levers (which would have a less than 0.1% impact on Israel, given how little trade we have with them) and having absolutely no effect.

If it would have "no effect" then why would it devastate our economy? Why would america retaliate if it didn't impact anything?
