“Irrespective of the cost to the Palestinians”
Last Saturday's information stall in Shop Street was again focused on EU complicity with Israeli war crimes against Palestinians, particularly Gazans; it's almost a year ago now since Commissioner-General for United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, Karen Koning AbuZayd, warned: “Gaza is on the threshold of becoming the first territory to be intentionally reduced to a state of abject destitution,” citing the EU and international community as accomplices in the barbaric siege of Gaza . Despite the fact that the Fourth Geneva Convention defines collective punishment as a war crime, the EU runs empathetically with the hare in condemning such a crime whilst, at the same time hunting, cheek by jowl, with the hounds who perpetrate such criminality.

Our petition to the EU calling on it to suspend or terminate the Euro-Med Agreement that allows Israel privileged access to the EU market in the context of the worsening situation may be a little like Oliver Twist naively asking for more porridge but at least we are not standing idly by, same as head of the Bil'in Peoples Committee, Iyad Burnat, and director of the Palestinian prisoner and human rights group Addameer, Sahar Francis, who graced Galway last week.
