by Hugh H - IPSC
March meets at Central Bank: 1pm, Tuesday 25th
“Die-In” at Israeli Embassy: 2pm
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) will join the Palestinian and Lebanese communities of Ireland, as well as former Irish Defence Forces officers who served in Lebanon, in a march to the Israeli embassy to demand that Israel immediately stop its destruction of Palestinian and Lebanese societies.
The march will begin at 1pm from Central Bank. On arrival at the embassy the IPSC will hold a symbolic “die-in”. This will involve volunteers with ‘blood’-stained clothes lying on the ground around the Israeli Embassy, to highlight the continuing indiscriminate killing by the Israeli Army of hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, among them many children.
The IPSC will be at the embassy from 9am to 6.30pm on Tuesday, as part of our All-Day Vigil. The “die-in” will be repeated at 5pm.
The Israeli Embassy is located in Ballsbridge, beside Jury’s hotel.

pity no pix here yet,
Yeah, but the mainstream media virtually refuse to show any pictures of the real dead and injured in Lebanon. It's just a way of them pretending they are giving fair coverage. They certainly are not and in fact the coverage has been absolutely disgraceful.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern has reportedly "called in" the Israeli Ambassador following the deaths of 4 United Nations soldiers by Israeli bombardment in Lebanon. Too bad he couldn't have called the ambassador in when Israel started slaughtering hundreds of innocent people, including many children. At least the four soldiers had a choice, but what choice do the innocents have?
Ahern and moustcheo (minister of defense) met with the Isreali ambassador at the start of the conflict and said his answers wern't sactisfactory, (I know shaking the foundations of the world!)
And i have to defend the mainstream media that they have had a very humanitarian approach to the conflict which has led to alot of public sympathy to the people of Lebannon.
I know people don't like to hear this but sometimes indymedia'ers do develop a seige mentality which leads to the damnation of all things mainstream. We do need to work with the rest of the world.
