At midday today, Monday 5th October, a demonstration to protest the Palestinian Authority’s action in scuttling the Goldstone Report of the UN Human Rights Council’s Fact Finding Mission to Gaza was held in Ramallah. It had been called over the weekend by a collective of Palestinian civil society including political parties, development organisations, human rights NGOs, and concerned individuals. The demonstration was to give a voice on the streets to the increasing frustration and despair with the unrepresentative and deeply unpopular policies and practices of the Palestinian Authority.

This weekend, Shannon airport was almost deserted of civilian air traffic. However, its transformation into a WARPORT is no longer just a slogan, it comes close to reality. On Saturday the usual OMNI Air US troop-carrying planes were joined by a Hercules C130 probably transporting munitions to the US wars on Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq. An oil-tanker was docked at the Shannon airport Jetty delivering aviation fuel to fuel the aircraft including the warplanes. On Sunday Top-Oil oil company was refuelling another Hercules C130 in the centre of the airport. An Irish Army patrol performed security duties, instead of arresting the potential war criminals. read full story / add a comment
