 Sat, 22 March 2025, 13:00 Assemble at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin 1 The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, supported by over 150 Irish civil society organisations, has called another National Demonstration for Palestine on Saturday 22nd March. The march will begin at the Garden of Remembrance at 1pm and finish outside the Dáil on Molesworth Street/Kildare Street to bring our demands to the Irish government’s doorstep. This takes place during Anti-Racism Month, and will be the first event of Israeli Apartheid Week 2025 – a global week of action, now in it’s 20th year, and being organised in hundreds of towns and cities across the world under the slogan of ‘People Power Makes Apartheid History ‘. We need to let our government know that we are done with excuses – we want meaningful sanctions on genocidal, apartheid Israel, and we want them now! Despite a fragile ceasefire bringing an end to Israel’s genocidal carpet bombing of Gaza, Israel continues to routinely violate the terms of the ceasefire, and has escalated attacks on Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank, with 40,000 forcibly displaces from refugees camps, and widespread attacks on the healthcare system. In the ruins of Gaza, they are still counting the dead, with around 62,000 now feared dead, and children are still dying from cold, malnutrition, and lack of medicine. It is, in the words of the UN, “crisis after crisis after crisis.” The Trump regime in the US has given Israel it full backing, and has sickeningly pledged to ethnically cleanse and forcibly exile Gaza’s 2 million Indigenous Palestinians and turn the strip into a resort. The genocide continues, just in less overt ways… Western governments have allowed all of this to happen – whether by actively facilitating Apartheid Israel’s brutal onslaught, or by doing absolutely nothing to stop it. Ireland is a case in point; the new government is already bowing to pressure from the Trump regime and has sidelined the Occupied Territories Bill, and endorsed the viciously anti-Palestinian and free speech curbing IRHA ‘definition’ of antisemitism, opposed by human rights organisations around the world, including Amnesty and Human Rights Watch. We cannot allow this backsliding – we need to tell the new government that instead of betrayals and cowardice in the face of the US empire’s threats, we want the Occupied Territories Bill, the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill, and the Arms Embargo Bill passed, and end to the use of Irish airports and airspace to transfer weapons, we want Israel kicked out of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, and the breaking diplomatic relations. In short, we STILL want sanctions now – the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel must be punished for it continuing crimes! Disabled Access Note: Disabled access point is outside the back gate of Trinity, at the intersection of D’Olier Street and College Green. END ISRAELI APARTHEID & GENOCIDE! SANCTIONS NOW! PASS THE OTB, DIVESTMENT BILL, & ARMS EMBARGO BILL! STOP ARMING ISRAEL! NO WEAPONS THROUGH IRISH AIRSPACE! FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE!
