Israel’s relentless bombing of Gaza has continued over the Christmas period and its government spokespersons claim it will last for months.
We are witnessing utmost savagery as children and non-combatants are murdered openly in front of the television screens of millions across the world.
Israel has an undeclared war aim – namely to drive Palestinians out of Gaza by making the area unliveable.
This is why it bombards everything in sight. It is also why they use the weapon of famine to drive people out. Many aid agencies have already warned that mass starvation is the latest Israeli weapon of war.
None of this could take place without the open support of the USA for Israel. They supply them with deadly bombs. They move warships to the area to give them cover. They veto even the most anodyne resolutions at the UN to call for a ceasefire.
Closer to home, the Irish government response has been better but has completely refused to acknowledge the role of the EU states and USA in actively supporting and arming the genocide in Palestine.
We need to be clear in saying we demand sanctions on Israel, the dismantlement of the zionist state and an end to the genocide in Gaza. Until then we must ban the US from using Shannon airport, refuse to attend the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the White House and condemn the role of EU leaders in covering for Israel.
We are asking you to come out on the Saturday 13th of January to the National Demonstration in Dublin at Parnell Square, 1pm.
