Palestine's Tragedy... Britain's Disgrace - Report from IPSC demo at British Embassy on Nov 1st![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Commemorating the Balfour Declaration 1st Nov 2008: On a bright Saturday morning in Dublin, around 80 activists from all over the country gathered at the British Embassy in Ballsbridge to commemorate the 91st Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration and to highlight the British State's ongoing support for Israeli human rights abuses. The protest indicted British colonial policy as the root cause of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. British Labour MP and PSC patron Jeremy Corbyn roundly condemned British Imperialism's signing over of Palestine for the creation of a 'Jewish Homeland' at the expense of the indigenous population. He also spoke about his own experiences in Occupied Palestine, and the effects of the crushing siege on Gaza. Sinn Fein TD Aengus O Snodaigh spoke both about Imperial policy in Palestine and in Ireland, and also related some of his own experiences while visiting Occupied Palestine. Marie Crawley - Chair of the IPSC - also spoke about Balfour, the siege and congratulated the Gaza siege breakers (including two IPSC members and two other Irish citizens) on board the SS Dignity. Statements of support from George Galloway MP and the British PSC were also read out. |
