The Irish Anti-War Movement is holding a major march and demonstration to the Israeli Embassy, this Thursday June 3rd, calling for the Irish Government to expel the Israeli ambassador from Ireland, to impose sanctions on Israel, to demand Israel gives safe passage to the Rachel Corrie boat to Gaza and for the immediate release of all prisoners from the flotilla that are now in Israeli custody. The march will assemble at 6pm at the Central Bank plaza on Dame St, Dublin, before marching to the Dail and then on to the Israeli embassy.

Rachel Corrie was a 24 old American woman who was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). She was murdered in 2003 by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip when they intentionally ran her over with a bulldozer while she was attempting to prevent IDF forces from demolishing the home of local Palestinian Samir Nasrallah. The Gaza aid boat was named in her honor.
