Boycott Israel protest/ demo

category cork | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Sunday February 01, 2009 15:03author by Joe Moore - Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaignauthor email mapuche at eircom dot netauthor phone 087-2994796 Report this post to the editors

A protest in support of the boycott Israel campaign will take place on Saturday 28th February at 1.00pm in Daunt's Square, Cork.

Israel has reduced Gaza to a wasteland. It has killed over 1,300 people, around a third of them children. Thousands more have been left injured, homeless and traumatised, The UN described Gaza as a site of "utter devastation."

The scale of the destruction in Gaza is staggering. Up to 90,000 people have been forced out of their homes. People are living on the streets among rubble and decomposing bodies. For ordinary Gazans, their biggest challenge is burying their dead, finding somewhere to live and getting enough food to survive the day. Thousands of people are suffering from malnutrition and one million-out of a population of 1.5 million- are dependent on aid just to survive.

Around a third of people have no access to running water and the supply is intermittent for the rest. There are not enough hospitals, equipment or workers to help the injured and medics are constantly battling with power shortages.

Responsibility for this humanitarian disaster lies firmly at the door of Israel. The world wide explosion of anger against Israel and support for the Palestinians represents a step change in the development of an international solidarity movement that could begin to compare with the movement that fought against apartheid in South Africa.

Part of that campaign was the boycott of South African goods. A similar campaign is now being launched against Israeli goods.

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign calls on all it's members and supporters in the Cork area to join our protest on Saturday 28th February at 1.00pm in Daunt's Square.
