Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign
@ipsc
Campaigning for freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinian people. R/T does not equal endorsement
The government's watered down Occupied Territories Bill was passed today, excluding services. We keep demanding and working for full sanctions on apartheid Israel until a free Palestine. #SanctionsNow
The amazing, legendary Patti Smith rocked King John's Castle Limerick last night, took a Palestinian flag from the audience, talked about Ireland’s solidarity with the Palestinian people and wrapped herself in it. The crowd followed with chants of Free Palestine, special! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
TOMORROW Wednesday 15 July, 1.30pm to 3.30pm join our protest at the Dáil to call on the Government to stop the Central Bank of Ireland continuing to facilitate the sale of Israel Bonds in the EU. #StopFundingGenocide
🚨 LAST TWO DAYS TO SIGN! 🚨 European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Israel is guilty of the crimes of apartheid and genocide against Palestinians, there should be no cooperation with the apartheid state. #SanctionsNow eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...
There have been major divestment victories against apartheid Israel's war bonds which fund its genocide of Palestinians. We won't stop until the Central Bank of Ireland stops facilitating their sale. Join us Wednesday 15th July, 1.30 - 3.30 at the Dáil. The CBI must #StopFundingGenocide
Really well said Conan Byrne, the FAI has a real opportunity to lead, to show meaningful solidarity with the Palestinian people by boycotting the games against apartheid Israel. #StopTheGame "We'd be normalising what they have done and we cannot normalise that." Video Virgin Media Sport
From FIFA to UEFA, sporting governing bodies have long failed the Palestinian people, but global civil society stands against Israeli apartheid and genocide. Tonight is just a bump on the road to getting the FAI to boycott the Nations League games against Israel We won't stop until they #StopTheGame
Gabriel Makhlouf, Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland, wrongly declaring that the CBI has no responsibility under the Genocide Convention to not aid apartheid Israel's mass murder of Palestinians. Instead the CBI fund it. July 15th, 1.30 - 3.30 the Dáil. The CBI must #StopFundingGenocide
We call on the FAI to change course and #StopTheGame
Powerful statement from Lajee Celtic calling on the General Assembly at the FAI EGM this evening not to endorse the Ireland Israel Nations League fixtures Our solidarity with the Palestinian people is important and we must respect their boycott call and not participate in sportswashing #StopTheGame
After their World Cup game yesterday, Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan condemned the football community for its silence on apartheid Israel's murder of Palestinian children, reminding that they are as worthy of life and love as all other kids. #FreePalestine
The FAI EGM will vote on the board's motion to endorse the Ireland V Israel Nations League fixtures tomorrow evening. Join the Stop the Game protest, 6pm, to let them know they must not cross the Palestinian picket line. #StopTheGame
Our government simply refuses to represent us, to fulfil our obligations under international law, and to meaningfully stand by the Palestinian people as they try to survive apartheid Israel's genocide and the complicity of the so-called international community including Ireland. Shame #SanctionsNow
Bravo Dublin City Council! Let's see more of this and let's see the FAI reflect the will of the majority of people here and boycott the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. #StopTheGame
UEFA displaying rank hypocrisy by caring about *some* rules, while participating in the sportswashing of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians by not taking action against the apartheid state, no matter its crimes. The FAI must boycott the Nations League fixtures against Israel #StopTheGame
Learn about how, through the Central Bank, Ireland is a home member state for apartheid Israel's war bonds which fund its genocide of the Palestinian people and the state's continuing role in funding these crimes. #StopFundingGenocide
Sunday Independent: The government and the FAI are failing to act with integrity and to reflect the will of the majority of people who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The choice is clear, no sportswashing apartheid Israel’s genocide, they must boycott the Nations League fixtures. #StopTheGame
Urgent, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya's life is in danger. Apartheid Israel must immediately release him.
This letter in today's Irish Times is spot on, there is no 'neutrality' in hosting the national team of a state committing genocide against the Palestinian people. The FAI must boycott the games against Israel. #StopTheGame
Where are the visas for the Lajee Cultural Tour? Could Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan again deny these young people the chance to come to Ireland to share their beautiful culture as he did last year? The group is due in under 3 weeks, their visas must be granted. #FreePalestine
Good letter in today's Irish Times, what is the point of condemning Israel's crimes against Palestinians if we normalise the apartheid state by playing thd Nations League fixtures? #StopTheGame
Strong letter in yesterday's Irish Examiner. There is no neutral venue that hosts the national team of a state committing genocide against Palestinians. Serbia is a key ally of apartheid Israel. The FAI must boycott the Nations League fixtures. #StopTheGame
Today we mark 1,000 days of Israel's genocide with immense grief and rage. We send our love and solidarity to our Palestinian sisters and brothers. We demand an end to our government's complicity in apartheid Israel's decades of war crimes. We keep working for a free Palestine #GazaGenocide
The FAI says that not fulfilling the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel will damage Irish football. Wrong. It will honour the Irish football community and the broader public by reflecting the majority will - be in solidarity with the Palestinian people #StopTheGame
From pretending the Palestinian FA had given its approval, to now designating key Israel ally Serbia as a 'neutral' venue for our 'home' game against the apartheid state, the FAI is plumbing new depths. Serbia provides political and weapons support to Israel as it commits genocide. #StopTheGame
Yesterday apartheid Israel murdered 8 people in Gaza including a woman and her one-year old baby daughter, bombed refugees in tents, and shot dead a 15 yo child in the West Bank. All with the arms, funding and political support of the EU. Join this demonstration on Wednesday #SanctionsNow
We will be at this important demonstration on Wednesday to demand an end the EU’s shameful complicity in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians, an arms embargo, an end to EU-Israel Association Agreement, exclusion of Israel from the Horizon programme, no more settlement trade #SanctionsNow
💜 We were at Pride today and it was beautiful! There was a great reception for the Palestinian flag with many speakers calling out apartheid Israel's genocide or finishing with Saoirse don Phalaistín. #NoPrideInIsraeliApartheid
