The Control of Economic Activities (Occupied Territories) bill has already passed the upper and lower Irish houses of parliament and is awaiting a final stamp of approval from Ireland’s government.
Apart from the bill’s deeply troubling criminalization of doing business with Jews, this video shows how the bill threatens the religious liberties of Irish Christians.
