Solidarity in Dublin

 

Solidarity with Gaza and the Donbas in Dublin


by Theo Russell

Activists gathered last Saturday in front of the General Post Office in O'Connell Street, central Dublin, to call for an end to arms supplies to Ukraine and Israel, and an end to NATO aggression in Ukraine and Yemen and Israel's brutal military operation in the Gaza Strip. The protesters also called for ceasefires in Ukraine, Gaza and Yemen. The General Post Office, built in the early 19th century when Ireland was a British colony, is one of the Irish capital’s famous land-marks because it served as the headquarters of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland. 

Activists  from the Truth and Neutrality Alliance that is based in Ireland, the New Communist Party of Britain and International Ukraine Anti Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) took part  along with citizens from Russia and Croatia. The IUAFS is a united front supported by the NCP, Socialist Fight, the Consistent Democrats and the British Posadists as well as individual labour movement activists

Conspicuous on the part of NATO has been the willingness to use eco-terrorism as part of its arsenal alongside the financial tools of sanctions and media manipulation, especially censorship, misinformation and disinformation. The blowing up of Nordstream 1 was the biggest man-made ecological d...

We deserve something better than this

 IUAFS Statement on the Exclusion of George Galloway and Chris Williamson from an Anti-Genocide Platform At the Palestine solidarity demonstration on 20th January in Birmingham, former Labour and RESPECT MP George Galloway, and former Labour MP Chris Williamson, who are now Leader and Deputy Leader of the Workers Party respectively, were excluded from the platform, seemingly on the instructions of leading figures in the Stop the War Coalition nationally. We in International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) condemn this sectarian and unwarranted exclusion as an attack on the democracy necessary to run an effective anti-war and anti-imperialist movement. It is a matter of great urgency to organise the broadest mass movement possible of genuine defenders of the Palestinians, and both George Galloway and Chris Williamson have had long records of outspoken defence of the Palestinians and opposition to imperialist crimes in the Middle East.  George Galloway was expelled from ...
