event notice
Monday July 31, 2006 12:41 by Lara Kelly, Campaigns Officer - Trocaire
Trócaire is calling the public to take action against the killing of innocent Lebanese, Israeli and Palestinian civilians caught up in the current violence in the Middle East. The organisation will hold a rally this evening, Monday, 31st of July 2006 at US Embassy, Elgin Road, Ballsbridge, D.4 at 6pm calling on the US government to use their influence to end the current crisis. Calling for the public’s support today Justin Kilcullen, Director of Trócaire said “Despite the 48 hour suspension of air strikes by Israel in Lebanon, the United States and Europe must secure an immediate ceasefire by all parties. For the United States and Europe to allow the violence in Lebanon, Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory to continue demonstrates a cynical disregard for the hundreds of innocent civilians who are being killed. We are asking people to join us on Monday to make the voices of thousands of innocent civilians heard.” |

Jump To Comment: 1Well done Trocaire. Will try and make it to the Embassy this evening.
I think Justin Kkilcullen however is putting it a "little" lightly when he says:-
“By failing to back the UN and call for an immediate ceasefire the United States is putting the lives of innocent civilians at risk, instead of protecting them.”
I do not think "risk" is hardly the appropriate word here. Rather the U.S. (and importantly the U.K. as well) are totally complicit with the slaughtering of innocent lives by both their failure to back the U.N. and by their supply of most of the armanents to the Israeli army.
The Irish government (and most of the Irish poplulation), despite its very hollow protestations, is also complicit by its faciliation of the U.S. war machine through Shannon (whether any plane is destined for Israel or Not) and its general support of U.S. & U.K. foregin policies all in the exchange for Irish jobs and money.
Best of luck Trocaire.
