A fundraising hour for Gaza is being held by an Irish charity at lunchtime this Friday.

Irish Medical Aid for Palestinians (Irish MAP) is an Irish registered not for profit organisation, established in 2007 with the overall aim of providing the necessary help and support to the Palestinian people in order to protect, maintain and improve their health.

Irish Map (Medical Aid for Palestinians) has made an appeal for members of the public to raise money during “Gaza hour”.
Do your bit for the suffering people of Gaza.

The charity aims to raise €430,000 for medical supplies, which it says is some 10 cent for every person in the country.

Due to an embargo on Gaza’s borders, the organisation is raising money for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society rather than collecting medical equipment. Schools, workplaces and community groups are being called on to collect money using activities of their choice. read full story / add a comment

Before Christmas we were told of yet another delay to the publication of the findings of the Saville Inquiry. It is now unlikely to report until late autumn 09, more than 37 years after the events it inquires into. Certainly for family members of the murdered, many who have since died, and those of the wounded who are no longer with us justice delayed has been justice denied. However this delay in justice resonates beyond the case itself which is why Martin Luther King could say 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'. 37 year's ago Lord Widgery's Inquiry took the side of injustice. His report retrospectively legitimised the military repression of the civil rights movement. To him justice wasn't a human ideal he had a duty to strive towards but merely a political consideration of the vested interests he represented. So the ideal was hollowed out to become another tool of oppression. read full story / add a comment
