The ongoing crisis in Gaza
dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / event notice Wednesday December 12, 2007 14:28 by IPSC   image 1 image
The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign will be holding a lunchtime protest on Thursday 13th December at the EU Headquarters in Dublin.

What: Protest rally
When: 1pm, Thursday 13th December
Where: EU Offices Building, 43 Molesworth St, Dublin (near the Dail building).

Why: In a nutshell, the 13th is the day the EU are signing into effect the 'Lisbon Reform Treaty'. The IPSC is using this opportunity to highlight the EU's role (via the International Quartet) in imposing an aid embargo on Gaza, as well as the general eclipsing of the Gazan crisis by the frenzy surrounding the Annapolis conference. A fuller explanation follows below... read full story / add a comment

If Katy French had grown up in Finglas or Ballyfermot or Clondakin or Lucan or someother place that the politicians in the Dail and establishment who live in leafy afluent parts of South Dublin do not know exist and was working in a supermarket when she died from using cocaine her death would have been mentioned in a tiny paragraph in the newspapers and would not resurface until months later the coroner would rule the fatalily was the result of death through misadventure. If Katy French had not died this past week the deaths and hospitalisation of a number of young men in Waterford and in the Midlands from drug use would hardly have earned a mention in the mainstream broadsheets.

I wonder do they ever play presidential sashes in the bedroom?

Something quite extraordinary has happened in Argentina. & to appreciate it, all you really have to do is wonder how many spouses see each other serve in the highest office of their land. Hilary obviously pops to mind, but the you get the absolutely extraordinary nature of the new Argentinian presidency - for not only is it legitimatised by one of the highest electoral margins in democratic history - there was no need for two terms of a Bush type (or to be completely up-to-oligarchy style) the son or daughter of a rival.

Yep - admit it you political experts & know-alls are hard put to remember any other state where a president has served his constitutional limitations then handed the sash & baton to his wife. Or indeed the other way round. read full story / add a comment

A few months ago, two recent works on Bolivia were given a look over for the WSM's Red and Black Revolution 14. The review now appears on line for the first time.

The Israelis are deepening the cellar further with the Weapon of Mass Starvation; following Israeli cutoffs, the UN World Food Program now reckons that; "Food imports into the Gaza Strip are only enough to meet 41 percent of demand". Against such an obscenity and pleading guilty to what Martin Amis terms a "distorted sympathy" towards the agony of Palestine http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2221615,00....html Galway IPSC, yesterday, took to the streets for seven hours to protest.

The ghosts and spirits of the millions of women who have been murdered, violated, oppressed, excluded, driven into exile, denied freedom of speech, denied participation in any decisions concerning their lives, because of war, religion, race, culture, age, disability, sexuality, poverty, bonded slavery, domestic violence or bureaucracy, glided in and out of the shoppers of Galway on Friday afternoon, the 7th of December. read full story / add a comment
