Irish living in Germany, Germans live in Ireland. Is it really difficult to get in a time where EU citizens have freedom of movement?

No its not, but why then they protest? If you against it then go to your country, wtf is Germany doing against Palestine? Eu has problems they can't handle already. And also palestine is terrorist country was, and will be.

Yeah, don't they know they're just supposed to shut up and keep their heads down and do as they're told? After all Germany's a free country and a democracy, they should know better than to dissent like that.

Just because you live in a country doesn't mean you agree with everything they do. I

Do you really not know that Germany is only second to the US in providing Israel the means to commit genocide? In any case, even in Ireland, where the government is totally against the genocide we still have regular massive street protests. Just as we did against the Iraq War.

People tend to protest in the cities that they live in. Perhaps she lives in Berlin.

Should he take a whole plane back to protest against Israel in Ireland, even if he is living in Germany for various reasons?

Israel is the terrorist country BTW. A country of colonialist supremacists that stole from the Palestinians. A cesspit of a place.
