The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign took part in this year’s International Week of Solidarity called by the Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (http://www.stopthewall.org). An international call to activists was put out to launch a week of global mobilisation against the walls of apartheid in Palestine from November 9th to 16th 2009. The IPSC used this opportunity to highlight the necessity of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, with specific reference to the ongoing role of Irish construction company CRH (formerly Cement Roadstone Holdings) in the building of the Apartheid Wall and illegal colonial settlements in the West Bank. read full story / add a comment

Last Friday, same as on all the preceding Fridays the past five years, Bil'in villagers marched to the nearby Apartheid Wall to protest against the theft of over 60% of their land to facilitate the construction of a monstrous affront to international and humanitarian law and the illegal Israeli colonies skulking behind it. Last Friday, same as on all the preceding Fridays for the past five years, the peaceful protestors were assaulted, this time, with unremitting blizzards of tear gas and percussion "sound" bombs with dozens of the marchers severly distressed from tear gas inhalation - thanking the good lord for small mercies, as it were, there were no high velocity tear gas projectiles used, "rockets" of the lethal kind that was fired point blank into the chest of Bassem Abu-Rahma last April 17th smashing three of his ribs one of which punctuted his heart thus killing, murdering him. read full story / add a comment |
