Antiwar graffiti carried out over the weekend in Dublin.
When the coalition of the killing launched their attack on Iraq Bertie Ahern's constituency office was daubed with the words "Blood on Your Hands"[1].
Now over two weeks later, war still rages and the bombs still fall on innocent Iraqi people. Our leaders in Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats through the use of Shannon Airport are complicit in this slaughter.
Despite hundreds of thousands marching on the streets of Ireland, they refuse to listen to what we are saying. Rational discussion has failed to change their minds. But just because they're ignoring us doesn't mean we give up and let them have their way. We will keep reminding them of their guilt and make them listen.
On Friday night stencils and paint were used to drive this message home at a number of locations in Dublin including the party headquarters of both Fianna Fáil and the PDs. Dublin GNAW supports such actions, large and small, which foster disrespect with the war-collaborators and the authority they claim to legitimately wield. We call on people to continue this campaign of civil disobedience until Ireland's contribution to the war effort - the refueling of the invasion force at Shannon - is ended.
National Demo at Shannon Warport on Saturday 12th April 2003.
