"Organisers said the protest marks "two years of genocide in Gaza" and called on the Irish Government to sanction Israel."
""savage food and aid blockade for months""
""Between 50 and 100 people are still being killed every day - and more than 100 more Palestinians were murdered over the past 24 hours. We have also seen the illegal interception of the global sumud flotilla in international waters and the detention of hundreds of activists, including many Irish citizens, trying to deliver aid to Gaza. The response of Western powers has been to keep sending guns, bombs and tech to murder Palestinians. Sadly, Ireland is little different. Simon Harris has called Israel's actions 'genocide', 'unconscionable' and 'unacceptable' - yet the Irish Government is barely lifting a finger to end Ireland's deep complicity in this genocide.""
Tens of thousands gathered in Dublin for the 17th demonstration organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, marching from the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square toward Leinster House. The march featured banners, Palestinian flags, left-wing groups, trade unions, planned speeches and musical performances. The rally followed the interception of the global sumud flotilla, with hundreds detained including 16 Irish citizens. Local health officials reported 66,000 deaths in Gaza. Demonstrators called for Irish government sanctions on Israel and an end to what organisers described as a sustained food and aid blockade and military assistance enabling continued killings.
