____________________________________________________________________ US responds to Iraqi resistance with a massacre of civilians in Fallujah
The revolt that is now taking place across Iraq among both Sunni and Shia populations is the final proof that the US invasion of Iraq was a colonial war of occupation not a war of “liberation”. The US is now facing defeat at the hands of the Iraqi people and the global anti-war movement. The US military has responded with a massacre of civilians similar to those in countless villages in Vietnam when they were faced with resistance then.
All the lies used by Bush and Blair have now been exposed. No weapons of mass destruction have been found. Terrorist attacks on the west continue and now we are witnessing a mass popular revolt against the US occupying forces by the very Iraqi people the US said they had liberated.
____________________________________________________________________
Demonstration at US Embassy
The IAWM has called a demonstration outside the US Embassy, Ballsbridge, Dublin on Monday, 19 April at 6 pm to protest against the massacre of 600 men, women and children in Fallujah and to show solidarity with the Iraqi people in their struggle for real freedom.
_____________________________________________________________________
Solidarity Protest at
Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, Dublin
12 noon - 2 pm
Show your solidarity with those charged with direct action at Shannon (Catholic Worker 5 - 'The Pitstop Ploughshares', Mary Kelly and others by demonstrating outside Dail Eireann. The Ploughshares will join the protest after their overnight vigil at the Israeli Embassy.
21 April is the day that Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli prisoner of conscience is due to be released. He 'blew the whistle' on the secrets of Israel's nuclear weapons of mass destruction and was criminalised and imprisioned. Similarly, the CW5 - Pitstop Ploughshares and Mary Kelly are facing criminalisation and imprisonment - if the Irish Government has its way - for taking non-violent direct action to disable a warplane on its way to Iraq. Meanwhile the real war criminals are using Shannon as a base from which to launch WMDs and terror across the world.
We say: drop the charges against CW5 and Mary Kelly and put the war, GW Bush, Tony Blair and B. Ahern on trial!
