On Saturday I went to a protest here in Dublin against the warcrime and massmurder that is being commited against Palestine and the Palestinian people. One of the things that the protest brought up was that since Israel is a terror state and are murdering people everyday the ambassador of Israel should be thrown out of Ireland and the Irish ambassador should be taken home from Israel.
The photos below were taken by me at the protest on Saturday.
From www.indymedia.ie:
Over 1,500 people attended the protest march against the continuing assault against the people of Gaza.
With all borders sealed the 1.5 million Palestinians, living in Gaza, are trapped-with little electricity or fuel and severe shortages of food, clean water and medicines-and are facing Israeli's military might.
Gaza's morgues are filling up and its hospitals are overflowing, with the injured queuing in corridors to be treated with dwindling medical supplies.
Israel claims it is trying to stop Hamas firing rockets. Yet Israeli's agenda is the destruction of the democratically-elected Hamas government.
An Israeli military spokesman said that "anything affiliated with Hamas is a legitimate target". This means all of Gaza's infrastructure has become a "legitimate target." Israel has justified its destruction of Gaza,s schools, universities and mosques by claiming that Hamas is storing weapons in them.
More international pressure needs to be applied on Israel. This means an economic boycott. At the moment most Irish based grocery chains stock Israeli goods, including fruit and vegetables, stolen goods grown on stolen ground.
ON SATURDAY JANUARY 17th a collective boycott of Israeli goods in supermarkets in Dublin city centre will take place. Israeli goods sold in Irish supermarkets are herbs, fruits (such as Jaffa oranges) avocadoes , new potatoes, dried fruits - they are easily recognizable because they are marked 'Product of Israel' on the shelves.
RALLY AT 2pm AT THE CENTRAL BANK after which city-centre supermarkets which stock Israeli goods will be visited and the boycott of Israeli goods publicized.
'Boycott of Israeli goods, campaign meeting - to prepare the campaign and get your suggestions as to how to make it effective will take place on WEDNESDAY 14th JAN AT 6.00pm in the Abbey room, in Wynns Hotel in Abbey St. Everyone welcome.
