Today we remember IRA Volunteer Joe O'Connor on his 23rd anniversary
Joe was murdered by counter-revolutionary cowards in collusion with the British State. Joe died how he lived, a brave and loyal soldier of the Republic. Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam.
Belfast’s WolfeTone/McCracken cumann yesterday took part in a BDS Belfast organised direct action at sainsburys kennedy centre in the west of the city.
Post from Belfast 32csm social media:
Belfast 32csm attended a rally this evening at the Kennedy Centre organised by BDS Belfast.
Leaflets were distributed at the entrance of the shopping complex before those in attendance headed into Sainsbury's where shelves are stocked with Israeli goods.
While Israeli apartheid continues in Palestine we must boycott all Israeli goods, particularly now that the right wing zionist regime have placed a full blockade on food, water, electricity and fuel entering the besieged Gaza strip, an international war crime.
Sainsburys may be have the most Israeli goods in stock but is not the only shop in the Kennedy Centre selling them. We ask the management of the Kennedy Centre, liaise with all stores in your complex about boycotting Israeli goods.
We call on everyone to support the BDS movement, Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel.
Workers in stores selling Israeli goods; refuse to stock them, refuse to handle them at tills, speak to your management and speak to your union that you are uncomfortable with these items.
BDS is the stepping stone to ending Israeli apartheid.
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement offer solidarity to the Palestinian people as they face down the current onslaught from one of the most heavily armed regimes in the world.
After the latest uprising from Hamas, governments across the globe have instructed media outlets to push the narrative that this was an unprovoked attack on a peaceful neighbouring state.
In reality from the 1940s Israel has been engaged in a forced occupation of Palestine and a genocidal whitewash of the Palestinian people. Widespread oppression, state murder, internment and land theft have led to millions of refugees scattered throughout different countries and over 2 million people crammed into the Gaza strip, an area described by multiple international human rights organisations as the worlds largest open air prison.
Israel, backed by Britain and the US, will no doubt be given carte blanche to carry out some of the most deplorable attacks against the Palestinians, already seen in the last few days by their warplanes and missiles flattening entire communities and using white phosphorus bombs, which in itself is an international war crime.
In the coming days and weeks the Palestinian people will be given a trial by media, portaying them as international terrorists to divert public attention from what is really going on.
The Irish as an occupied people will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinians in their struggle for sovereignty.
Beir bua.
