I'm just back from a trip to Athens, where I was visiting a friend. Whilst there, I had the privilege to march with our Greek brothers and sisters in a demonstration. (In case you've been living under a rock, Greek police shot and killed a 15 year old boy on the 6th of December) I think its important that I share my experiences with as many people as possible because in general the media outside of Greece tends to show the police in a far more favorable light than they deserve. Before I write about what I saw yesterday, I must say the Greek student movement is incredible. I have never seen a student movement as informed, passionate, driven and well executed as I did in Greece. We should all be taking a lesson from them. ... read full story / add a comment

"At about 1 am GMT Free Gaza boat - Spirit of Humanity - which was in international waters was surrounded by 5 Israeli boats. They questioned the 21 civilians on board the Free Gaza, asking them their nationalities and the purpose for their trip, which was to take 5 tons of medical supplies. They gave 3 warnings that if they didn't turn back they would be fired upon (all this in international waters) and effected dangerous manoevres that put the safety of the boat in doubt as there was a high risk of collision.

Not only is Evo breaking off ties with Israel, he’s committed himself to bringing a case against them before the International Criminal Court — on charges of Genocide. Bolivia currently has a judge serving on the panel of the ICC — through 2009 — so maybe we’ll see some interesting fireworks. So do Brazil and Costa Rica. ... read full story / add a comment

With the death toll from Israel's genocidal attack on Gaza now approaching 1,000 and the "international community" standing idly by twiddling its hypocrisy, Galway Free Palestine Campaign in empathy with the Gazans did an eight hour protest in Shop Street yesterday and will continue to do so until the killing frenzy stops. At least one forthright man is not prepared to mouth the usual inanities about "restraint" and all that nonsense but unequivocally condemned Israel for its genocide: "The number of victims in Gaza is increasing by the day... The situation is untenable. It's genocide ... the Palestinian people have been subjected to subhuman treatment for decades and this (the Israeli offensive) is going to make matters worse." (Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, President of the UN General Assembly) ... read full story / add a comment

There were 20-30 people protesting at the dáil today, which included members of the public and IPSC, as the Israeli ambassador arrived for a hearing before the Irish foreign affairs committee. There was a lot of media there also, but the ambassador slipped in through another entrance. No details were given to any media from the Israeli embassy about his time of arrival or what entrance he was going to use. All pics (c) Michael Gallagher ... read full story / add a comment

On January 11th. 2002 the U.S. opened its twilight zone and star chamber at it's military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Guantanamo has come to symbolise the fast track acceptance of kidnapping torture as mainstream U.S. policy. Shannon Airport in Ireland has been used extensively for refueling of illegal kidnapping flights. Tens of thousands of others are detained and tortured in U.S. gulags in Iraq, Afghanistan, Diego Garcia, aboard ships and elsewhere known and unknown. ... read full story / add a comment

About 50-70 people attended the pro-Israel protest at Leinster House today. It was hard to see exactly how many were there because so many media people went over to interview them. Someone said they counted twenty different journalist at one stage. The majority of the people attending were quiet and subdued, with a bit of praying and singing (more like humming) going on, but three or four stood at the barrier and shouted abuse at the Palestinian counter demonstration. This was called at short notice, and outnumbered the Zionists by about three or four to one. ... read full story / add a comment

On Sunday afternoon human rights activists in Limerick flash-mobbed two stores guilty of profiteering from trade with the illegitimate, delinquent Israeli state. Shoppers in Atlantic Homecare and later in Dunnes Stores stood open mouthed as a rousing chorus "Boycott Apartheid Israel" suddenly rang out across the store. ... read full story / add a comment

100 - 175,000 march in Barcelona against Gaza massacre and call for Israeli boycott. Due to the ongoing massacres being carried out in the Gaza strip at present, 700+ Palestinians killed, mostly women and children, the protest in the streets of Barcelona was attended between 100 and 175 thousand people, thats about 2 full Croke Parks. Activists, at some stage, mounted a construction scaffolding and attached a banner in Catalan which was a slight modification to the famous poem "First they came…" about the Nazis coming for, removing and disappearing all those they then opposed: the communists, the jews, the trade unionists, the Catholics, the intellectuals, the last of which was the poems author, Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), was part of. Yesterdays banner included "Now they are coming for the Palestinians" ... read full story / add a comment
