Dear Members, Friends and Supporters of Israel,
A very big thank you to all of you who were in a position to attend and support us at the debate on Thursday 27th October at the Eblana Club in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. Thank you also to those who contributed financially. It is very much appreciated.
And a very special thank you to Dr Mark Humphrys, Professor at Dublin City University (DCU), Blogger, occasional Sunday Times columnist and long-time member of the Ireland Israel Alliance. Mark represented the Ireland Israel Alliance in an informed, measured manner and with good humour and grace. He was up against People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett on the proposed topic: 'Is Israel an Apartheid State?'
The debate was chaired by retired Irish Times journalist Deaglán de Breádún.
See below some excellent observations from two of our members who were in attendance:
