Ireland's Senator David Norris' speech

A speech by Ireland's Senator David Norris has become an internet sensation, being widely shared for Norris' blunt assessment that "Israel bombs first and weeps later." The senator also stresses that he is not anti-Israeli but that over the last 40 years he has seen the country morph from a liberal regime into an extreme right-wing regime 

Israel is "behaving in the most criminal fashion and defying the world and unscrupulously using the holocaust to justify what it is doing and it is time that rag was thrown away from them," he said.
