Under the slogan of ‘End 78 Years of Ongoing Nakba’, and to highlight more than two years of impunity for Apartheid Israel’s continuing genocide in Gaza in which it has slaughtered more than 72,000 Palestinians, and to protest the Irish government’s continued refusal to hold the Apartheid state accountable, the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, supported by over 180 Irish civil society organisations, has called another National Demonstration for Palestine Saturday 16th May.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.
Disabled Access Note: Disabled access point will be outside the back gate of Trinity, at the intersection of D’Olier Street and College Green.

On the 78th Anniversary of the beginning of the Palestinian Nakba, we are marching to highlight that the so-called ‘Gaza ceasefire’ remains a fiction; the military occupation continues, and Israel has violated the ‘ceasefire’ more than 2,500 times over the past six months, killing some 750 people and injuring 2,100 more. The entry of aid, fuel and food is still controlled and highly restricted by Israel, with only 37% of the promised supplies having been delivered, while 77% of Gaza’s population now experiences acute food insecurity, and Gaza remains in ruins.
Ethnic cleansing continues apace in the West Bank, and soldiers and settlers continue to K*ll Palestinians there at a rate of about 1 person per day.
All of this is just the latest phase in a process that has been continuing since 1948, what Palestinians refer to as ‘the Ongoing Nakba’, Nakba being the Arabic word for Catastrophe – conducted with absolute impunity as western powers try to gaslight us into thinking this relentless colonial violence constitutes a ‘ceasefire’ in any meaningful sense.
This is all now occurring against the backdrop of the US-Israeli war on Iran, and Israel’s ongoing vicious assault on Lebanon. Indeed, Gaza was the graveyard of international law, and the failure of western powers to act to end the genocide means we are now in a world where ‘might makes right’ – the mask of ‘liberal humanitarianism’ has been discarded entirely, and hard power imperialism is running rampant: from the illegal war on Iran and it’s resultant humanitarian, food, and fuel supply crises, to the ‘Donroe’ doctrine in Latin America, to ICE occupations of US cities.
Meanwhile the Irish government continues abdicating its responsibility to the Palestinian people, stalling and backtracking on promises to take action, allowing the US military to continue to US Shannon Airport and our airspace, and shaming us all by association.
That’s why it’s imperative that we hit the streets in large numbers once again to pile the pressure on. We’ve seen victories thanks to our collective movement in Ireland – but we demand so, so, much more!
We need to bring people’s rage to the government’s doorstep – no more pathetic excuses, no more hiding behind legalese, no more empty words: we want sanctions on Israel now!
