There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says

Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

HMS Severn arrived in Dublin at 0955 GMT on September 16, 2006.
HMS Severn sailed from Cork in the morning of November 14 having enjoyed a three day rest and recuperation period
Local republicans should wade in for this one as well. British imperialism extends way beyond Iraq and their support for the warmonger Bush.
Here's a photo of the gunboat in question. Not their biggest ship but a representative of the Royal Navy nonetheless.
Good luck with the picket. The British war machine should be kept out of all Irish ports.
HMS Severn
The picket is from 5pm to roughly 7pm, then, kicking off at 8pm, is the David Rovics AWI fundraising gig in Crane Lane (across from the GPO). 10 euros in, with the money going to a good cause.
Why not make a night of it? Come to the picket and then relax afterwards at the Rovics gig. Should be very good. Check out his stuff on www.davidrovics.com
The state has eight fishery protection / patrol vessels of its own and doesn't require help, nor is that what HMS Severn is here for. It's so-called courtesy visit as representative of Blair and Co needs to be protested against. See you on Tuesday evening.
Note: for anyone visiting Cork for the Rovics gig and who might like to join our picket HMS Severn will be docked at the North Custom House Quay which is the high-security berth beside the Cusom House in the city and just below Jury's Inn (on same side of river). If you're entering Cork from the east (including Dublin) it'll be just across the river from Horgan's Quay and a mere stone's throw (metaphorically of course, it's a peaceful picket) from the Bus and Train stations.
HMS Severn is a fishery protection vessel on a courtesy visit to Cork.
They come here the same as Irish Naval ships go overseas on courtesy visits including the UK,
You would think its the end of the World.

Amazing, Holland deployed over 1000 soldier to Iraq and there was not a single protester when the HMNLS Zeeleeuw visited Cork last November.
Smacks of hypocrisy.
HMS Severn could be used as a broom closet for all we care. The fact remains that it's a tooled up British Royal Navy gunboat. The RN was actively involved in the invasion of Iraqi and is an integral part of the British war machine.
With regard to HMNLS Zeeleeuw, we missed it! Damn!! Listen, if you have advance information on similar belligerent imperialist warships entering Irish ports, please do send the information to info@antiwarireland.org. Many thanks.
Well the last time the Netherlands armed forces played an active role on Irish soil was in the 1690s. The British have a more recent prescence here. Its also worth noting that the Netherlands do claim rights over any part of Ireland; nor do they pretend that they are still an Empire.
I am amazed for such a small Country as ours that we have so many people against everything that happens, be it Courtesy Visits from foreign ships or the war in Iraq. I am getting sick and tired of the whole thing.
Ireland of the welcomes my as.

I am amazed that for such a small, divided and foreign occupied country such as ours there is no shortage of armchair west-brit whingers who still havn't quite adjusted to the fact that we no longer have to doff our cap to a foreign ruler.
HMS Severn arrived at Roches Point shortly after 8.00am this morning where she was met by a pilot from the Port of Cork. She sailed past Cobh and the Irish Naval Service base at Haulbowline at 8.50am on her way to the North Custom House Quay in Cork City. An inflatable outrider, possibly from the ship, possibly from the Irish naval service, we don't know, followed her up presumably to protect her from boarders!
Anti-War Ireland is a non-party political organisation. As it says on our website it is a democratic, individual membership-based, national anti-war organisation. We are protesting agains HMS Severn because she is a representative of the British military and establishment which continues to wage an illegal war in Iraq. We oppose her presence in the same way as we and others opposed the visits of Bush and Blair to this country.
Anti War Ireland will picket HMS Severn at the North Custom House Quay in Cork from 5-7pm this evening (Tuesday, Feb 20th).

Contradicting yourself there. Why is it only British & American warships are being protested against. There are several countries in the "Coalition of the Willing" with forces in Iraq but noone reaises even an eyelid when they visit.
For a group that claims to be "a non-party political organisation", you have an agenda that almost mirrors the SF/IRA agenda.
Explain
My inclination "Quirke" is to tell you to just f**k off and troll on another website, but I might as well use this opportunity to further extend the request made in a post above: if you hear of any coalition warships entering Irish waters, let us know. We'd only be too delighted to organise protests. We don't discriminate.
John,
The best of luck in this afternoon's protest and the Rovic gig later. I hope some of the iawm activists will be joining you there.
Now, as far as the last message goes, I suggest next time a Polish, a Pakistani, a Hungarian or a Japanese warship visits our shores, we ask Mr/Ms Quirke to organise a picket for us to join in order to appear even - handed. Of course, that coalition of the barbarians is getting a bit weak these days with the Spanish and the Italians withdrawing and the Hungarians having a serious look. Still.....
Finally, could he/she amplify Sinn Fein's anti-American agenda for us all....when was it developed, how did it work out in practice over the last few years, and is it still in application? I know that organisation is currently deep in discussion about their attitude to British imperialism....but the Americans??
Incidentally, do the 70% of US citizens who oppose Bush's warmongering also have an anti-American agenda? Not to be talking of 72% of citizens across the water wanting the troops to come home....questions questions....
Now, I would love to see that.
Geography lads...geography
Surely, our good educated friend, you must have read that Hungary together with Pakistan, and along with Luxemburg, Lichtenstein and FYROM are combining forces to develop a mighty naval force! Who knows - we may see them close to our shores over the next few years.
I stand corrected-sounds like a fearsome force. We should hook up with them.
Whats the point of protesting against a fisheries protection vessel when a dutch submarine came to cork last year and no one cared. British/american ships should be given the same treatment as any other nationality.
What happened to ye boys ye failed to turn up in Cork for the protest against the Brits, Glad to see ye have finally got sense and stayed away. The crew totally enjoyed their visit to Cork and the friendly people of Cork.

Royal Navy warships, helicopters and RAF aircraft regularly take part in sea-to-sea and air-to-sea rescues of Irish people on seas around Ireland......eaten bread is soon forgotten !
Will IAWM protest when RN and RAF save Irish lives again ?
The person who took those pics in the morning must keep 24 hour watch of cork harbour, he should work for the gardai in stopping the drugs from entering this island.
