Solidarity with the people of Gaza

Limerick demo in solidarity with the people of Gaza

About 100 people came out in Limerick today to protest at the ongoing slaughter perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. People held placards and flew flags to show their solidarity with the people of Gaza. Limerick Labour TD Jan O'Sullivan, the only TD to come despite all Limerick TDs being invited, was among the speakers. Speakers denounced the massacre of the people of Gaza and described the desperate conditions that the siege had created even before this latest murderous assault. Speakers called on Ireland to demand sanctions on Israel and for the Euro-Med Agreement to be suspended until Israel abides by international law.
This demonstration was organised in conjunction with national actions all over the country to protest against Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine and its current actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
