Above, People Before Profit Facebook post, 10th May 2024.

Yes, Leinster House should fly the Palestinian flag as well as the Ukrainian flag.

But when and where did People Before Profit ever fly the Ukrainian flag?!!!

“While Ukraine has fought a war of national defence, the war quickly turned into a proxy conflict between two imperialist powers: NATO versus Russia and its allies.” People Before Profit Facebook post, 24th February 2023.

“The call for sanctions [against Russia] is a call for an escalation of this inter-imperialist conflict. They are, in effect, an act of imperialist economic warfare…” Rebel, website of Socialist Workers Network in People Before Profit, 2nd March 2022

“We oppose the sending of military aid by western forces (including NATO, EU and the British and Irish government) to the Ukrainian state because this aid is part of the struggle of one imperialist camp against another, and we oppose both.” Policy On War In Ukraine, People Before Profit, 16th June, 2022.

” This symbolic statement [refusing to clap for the speech of Zelensky in the Dail] was an important act to break up the illusion of ‘national unity’ behind the drive towards aligning with NATO from the political establishment in Ireland.” Policy On War In Ukraine, People Before Profit, 16th June, 2022.
