Anti-War Ireland

As Israeli bombs continue to rain down on innocent civilians in Lebanon and Palestine, solidarity actions are being held across the country. On Thursday night, a vigil, initiated by the local branch of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), will be held in Limerick. On Saturday afternoon, the Cork branches of Anti-War Ireland, the IPSC and the IAWM will jointly hold a vigil of solidarity at Daunt Square in Cork city.

Anti-War Ireland again urges people to attend these events. Make your voice heard on the streets! Irish opposition to US-backed Israeli warmongering must be made visible.
