There will be a protest at the American and Israeli embassys tomorrow, to condemn the siege at Ramallah. And to show our solidarity with Caoimhe Butterfly.

Over the course of the last few days the situation in the middle east has escalated horrifically and brutally.

To protest the siege of Arafats headquarters, and to show our support with Caoimhe who has insisted on staying in the compound to supply humanitarian aid we will be assembling tomorrow at the US embassy.

The US' behaviour in supplying 1.7 billion dollars of miltary aid and failure to condemn Sharon's actions makes a mockery of Bush's claim that he is commited to peace in the middle east.

The address of the US embassy is 42 Elgin Road, we will then march the short distance to the Israeli Embassy (112 Pembroke St.)

If you wish to protest you may phone
The Irish Foreign Office (01) 230 9460
The American Embassy on either
(01)668 94 64 or 6689612 or 668877
and finally the Israeli Embassy
(01) 4780822 or 668 0303
