David Clinch has met with many Israeli and Palestinian people through his work as a physician – he says Ireland has the ability to bring leadership and hope to the conflict.

I understood what they meant. Adolph Eichmann had just appeared on the front of the newspaper, expressionless in a bulletproof dock.

Germany on the rise The coming to power of Germany’s Nazi Government in 1933 collapsed Britain’s strategy. The systematic genocide of some six million European Jews, only 80 years ago, was unparalleled in its calculated cruelty. Towards peace For Ireland’s peacemaker John Hume, cornerstones in conflict resolution were non-violence and dialogue. Only with these could perspectives on anger, fears and hopes be identified. There must be an incentive for both parties to start seeking a solution. The huge gulf in bargaining power between Israel and the Palestinians is clearly a great obstacle.

Critics point out that this modest Bill would be futile and of little impact. However, scrutiny spreads notoriety and even great powers do not welcome the highlighting of their illegality.

There were separate concerns about criticism from within the US Congress.
