For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Lebanon: End The Massacre!

category antrim | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday July 26, 2006 17:34author by Lebanese Solidarity! - Ógra Shinn Féin Report this post to the editors

West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin joined Belfast activists at Belfast city hall to protest at the Israeli aggression and onslaught against Lebanon, in the last week.
West Tyrone Ógra Internationale!
West Tyrone Ógra Internationale!

The protest was to highlight the media bias regarding the situation in the Middle East. The protest was organised by the Anti-War Movement in conjunction with the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Friends of Palestine society at QUB and was well attended by up to 200 protestors. Some protestors were those who had fled Lebanon in recent weeks after the air strikes began. Many people held placards asking 'Did you know there have been 245 Lebanese people killed by Israel in the last eight days?'

The protest began at the Headquarters of the BBC on Bedford Street in Belfast. It then proceeded towards the City Hall in Belfast, in the form of a march. Roads around the city hall were brought to a standstill for 15 minutes while protestors voiced their opposition to the current bombardment of Lebanon.

After the conclusion of the protest at the city hall, the crowd was addressed by a member of the IPSC, who said that this would not be the last protest of its kind and that the campaign would continue until Israeli aggression ceased.

If find it truly bizarre that a banner with Che Guevera and Bobby Sands would be present a protest supporting Hezbollah.

Che Guevera fought against imperialism and capitalism.
Bobby Sands represented the Northern Irish Roman Catholic resistance to Ulster Unionist Protestantism.

There is no way in HELL that Che Guevera and Bobby Sands would have had ANYTHING to do with Hezbollah, a group of Islamic fundementalist Jew hating women hating homosexual hating alcohol hating freedom hating fascists allied with Islamic fundementalist Iran.

Is this the same Bobby Sands? The one whose organisation, PIRA, incinerated customers in pubs, blew them to bits in shops and kidnapped, tortured and murdered defenceless men and women?

Bobby Sands was a selfless community activist, who grew up on the loyalist rathcoole estate, was intimidated out of his home and then his work as a coach builder because of his religion. Bobby wished to end this sectarianism, racism, discrimination and massive inequality which existed in his occupied land.

He realised like Malcolm X that if we where to wait around for those in power to make the necessary changes in society, then change would never come, and if we where to ask politely, and peacefully demonstrate for our Civil and Human Rights, then we would be shot down like in Alabama, Soweto or Derry.

Change would not come easy in Ireland, Bobby realised this and he joined the ranks of the IRA, a revolutionary armed guerilla organisation that rose out of the people, with the people and for the people. Fighting a war of liberation, and a war to overthrow the imperialists and capitalists who have occupied and plundered our country for hundreds of years.

Bobby was then imprisoned alongside hundreds of other young men and women, and after being subjected to sub huiman treatment, torture and brutal prison conditions for 5 years made the inspirational selfless decision to volunteer his life on Hungerstrike to gain Political status and humane treatment of the POW's, but ultimately to force the struggle forward by demonstrating to the world that the IRA where not 'criminals' but revolutionaries fighting a political war of liberation.

The IRA have many brave patriots like Bobby, are a beacon of resistance and hope the world over!

Thank God that there are people in this world who do not accept the lies, deceit and propaganda put out by Israel and it's apologists - particularly America. In despair at the silence of the supposed civilised world in the face of pitiless Israeli cruelty, after searching the internet , I eventually found information of the demonstrations taking place in Ireland. It seems alone amongst western nations, the people of little Ireland have the guts to stand up and condemn the war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed by the State of Israel. There is nothing more honourable at this present time and in the future, when history recognises that the plight of the Palestinians is rightly regarded as one of the most heinous crimes of this century, those Irish people taking part and raising their voices in protest at the Israeli barbarity and support for the Palestinians can say, with pride, I protested, I condemned and nothing that Israel did was with my support. Oh, but the rest of the world could say the same, but they will not be able to and there lies the blame on the shoulders of everyone that was silent.
With my Irish wife, I have travelled widely in Israel and the occupied territories, we have seen at first hand, the oppression, humiliation and degradation imposed on the Palestinian people by the Israelis. With her Irish badge (the tricolour) in her lapel we were feted by ordinary Palestinians and clearly there is an affinity between the Irish and Palestinian people at ordinary level. Please keep up the good work, make your politicians listen to the voice of Lebanon and Palestine if they dont already. They scream out for help and justice in a world that is deaf but every last person who demonstrates against Israel and America - and Britain, or who carries a placard or who writes a letter to the press chips away at that wall of silence. Thank you, the decent people of Ireland.

Michael Clift,

Let's keep focused on the issue at hand here - the massively disproportionate response from Israel and collective punishment of a country for some of it's people's actions!!

Let's make it easy for everyone who believes this is wrong to come out on the streeets to say so without alienating them by bringing in too many other issues.
