Around 150 people of all ages met at Daunt sq, cork to express there outrage at the carnage in Gaza.
A carnage that somehow the Israeli media and propaganda machine justify as 'defensive'.How can the use of weapons of mass destruction being used on a civilian population be described as defensive........................................................
it cant! and every body knows.

so we marched down Patrick street , in terential rain and heavy gusts , and perhaps due to that and the on going and escalating situation in gaza we spontaniously entered the shopping center.
boycott israel, boycott israel ,
and freedom for palestine.

we were heard.
then after leaving merchnts key shoping center , marks and spencers
we continued to Tescos.by this point gards arrived
one over keen one arested
a very respectable and peaceful protestor.
so from there we headed to the garda station
.
and he was releasted without charges.
and of we went
satisfied that we had expressed ourselfes
and been heard.

if protests were llike this more ,
............................what a result?

into the shops

marks and spensers , buisness not quite as usual.
