The Committee for the Families of Palestinian Political Prisoners is calling for solidarity from the international community to put pressure on Israel to respect human rights. You can help by:

1. Demonstrating – 11am Saturday 04 September at the Israeli Embassy, Ballsbridge – organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and supported by the Irish Anti-War Movement. (NOTE: this demo will be followed by the IPSC's AGM at 2pm.)

2. Contacting the Israeli Embassy in Dublin and demand that Israel respects international law. Let them know that you will refuse to buy any Israeli produce until such as time as Israel agrees to justice for the Palestinians. The Embassy can be contacted by:
phone: 01 - 230 9400
fax: 01 - 230 9446
email: [email protected]
post: Carrisbrook House, 122 Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4

3. Contacting the Department of Foreign Affairs and demanding that the Irish Government calls for a suspension of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement (whereby Israel receives preferential trade terms with EU states) until Israel abides by international law.
Tel : 01 4780822

4. Boycotting all Israeli produce. Unlike Apartheid South Africa, when many Irish businesses refused to stock apartheid goods, Irish supermarkets sell a large amount of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs produced by Israel (often produced in illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories). Use your consumer power and refuse to buy goods from countries which ignore international law.

The hunger strike has been called off as apparently most of the prisoners' demands have been met.

There will still be a token presence at the Israeli Embassy tomorrow from 11.

From Ha'aretz.com
Claiming victory, Palestinian security prisoners end 19-day hunger strike
By Arnon Regular

Palestinian security prisoners ended their hunger strike yesterday as they declared their 19-day protest succeeded in achieving most of their demands.

The leadership of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank announced yesterday that the prisoners, being held in more than a dozen prisons, decided to end their strike after a series of discussions with prison authorities.

In their statements, the leaders claimed that most of their demands had been met.

The Prisons Services announced there have been no talks with the prisoners, and that none of their demands were accepted.

The Palestinians claimed that the Prisons Services have agreed to end invasive body searches, allow food and televisions into their cells, broaden the rights to purchase food at the coop, improved medical treatment, and telephone rights.

"Most of the basic demands of the prisoners were met by the Prisons' Authority and therefore the prisoners decided to end their strike," says Isa Kraka, head of the Prisoner's Club in the West Bank.

Palestinian source did confirm that demands, such as the lifting of the glass panels separating the visitors from the prisoners and permitting cellular telephones into the prisoner cells, were not acceptable to the Prisons' Service.

In a telephone interview with Haaretz said that "we have managed to stop the dangerous deterioration in the rights of the prisoners' in recent years and the feeling that the prisons' management can change the rules of the game as it wishes. But in practice, with the exception of the invasive body searches that degraded the prisoners and that had to end, all the other demands were basic, such as improved quality of food, and the management had no trouble meeting them."

According to the prisoner leader, negotiations took place separately in each prison, and this posed a problem for the hunger strike leadership.

He also said that the prisoners were disappointed with the low level of interest that the Palestinian public showed to their struggle, both in the media and also in the Palestinian street.

"There will still be a token presence at the Israeli Embassy tomorrow from 11."

The full demo is going ahead. It is not up to the SWP to decide whether or not it should be scaled down. Who does Aoife think she is? The Demo was called by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign not the SWP.

As stated in Aoife's post, which for the sake of clarity was issued on behalf of the IPSC in order to clarify matters as soon as possible, there will be a demonstration at the Israeli Embassy from 11.00am tomorrow.

While it appears that the hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners has been called off, this mobilisation remains a useful opportunity to show our anger at the human rights abuses inflicted on the people of Palestine.
