Israel to close Dublin embassy after Ireland supports ICJ genocide petition

@bullivant The scandal is that not everyone else is following in Ireland's footsteps.
@grafelder Fair point. The Irish have always had a very strong affinity with the Palestinians as another oppressed group struggling for Independence and nationhood.

I'd prefer it if we didn't redefine genocide and just stick the war crimes charge to them, but I'm no expert on international law.
