Does Farrah think she persuaded even one person in the Belfast meeting by disrupting the event, I wonder. Sinn Féin has been supporting the Palestinian cause more than any other Irish party. Week after week in the Irish parliament Sinn Féin speakers have been asking the Irish government to do more for the people in Gaza. By her action of disruption at the meeting, Farrah wants to make herself an enemy of Sinn Féin. She will not find a party of politicians who are friendlier toward the Palestinians, including those in Gaza. She is critical of the recognized representative of the Palestinians in Ireland because the Palestinian ambassador is appointed by the Palestinian Authority but the role of the ambassador is to promote the links between all the Palestinian people and the people of Ireland, both North and South. It looks like Palestine recognizes Irish unity already. An argument can be made for attending the St. Patrick's Day visit to the White House and it is up to the Sinn Féin party what is best. Sinn Féin hope to be in government in the Republic as well as the Six Counties of the North and Ireland enjoys diplomatic relations with the USA. Visiting the White House is a way for the Irish people to get recognition every year by the sitting president. The Irish diaspora in the USA like to see the prime minister of Ireland deliver shamrock to the American president and to have a meeting of common interests. Ireland is not about to break diplomatic relations with the USA because of a difference with American policy by a particular administration. It is the Office of President as leader of the American Executive which counts. So, disrupting a meeting is supposed to help because Farrah does not like the decision of Sinn Féin to keep diplomatic relations with the USA? So every effort by Farrah to slur the Palestinian ambassador is used by shouting out that Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid was appointed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), not Hamas. There would be no Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland if she were to wait being appointed by Hamas. Hamas does not appoint ambassadors. The State of Palestine does and it is a function of the Palestinian Authority to carry on the traditions of the PLO. Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid is a Palestinian diplomat and has been one since 1995. Although appointed by the PA she represents all the Palestinian people and has presented her credentials to the President of Ireland. She is a very experienced, pleasant and caring mother of three children. In contrast, Farrah Koutteineh is a sullen, bitter, angry young girl who could use some manners.
