George Harrison on Palestine

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday April 20, 2002 04:54author by US Fenian

George Harrison, Patron of Sinn Fein Poblachtach and co-founder of Cumann na Saoirse Naisiunta in the US, issued the following statement on Palestine.

I wish to categorically condemn the savage and unhuman attack by the Zionist and Expansionist State of Israel on the Palestinian People. I salute Nurse Mary Kelly of County Cork, Ireland for traveling to Palestine to update us on the situation. She is a credit to Rebel Cork and to the heroic women who distinguish themselves in the centuries-old struggle for Irish Freedom.
Regarding the death at an advanced age of a member of British Monarchism. I have been bereaved many times during the course of a long life but never received any word of condolence from the British Monarchy. I return their silence now.

Signed GH
