Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

“In Gaza’s Hell”- Controversial meeting with Ewa Jasiewicz

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday April 03, 2010 19:04author by Kasia Timofiejczukauthor email kasia.timofiejczuk at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

An Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) public meeting, in Polish, with journalist and human rights activist Ewa Jasiewicz took place on Saturday 20th March 2010 in Seomra Spraoi. Ewa was speaking about her experiences in Gaza as an emergency paramedic during the Israeli massacre in Winter 2008/09.

Despite unforeseen complications caused by the unexpected decision of the Polish co-organiser to pull out at the last moment, the meeting was successful. Even though the attendance was relatively small (due in no small part to the last minute change of venue), the media commotion created in the Dublin Polish press around the meeting initiated a very important discussion about the Middle East within the Polish community in Dublin. It seems that even outside their motherland many Poles can not take part in debate on subjects considered ‘controversial’, and also as in Poland, there is a large tendency to avoid any discussion related to Palestine-Israel issue.

During the public meeting Ms Jasiewicz evoked brutal memories from the time she spent in the Gaza Strip during the 22 days of the Israeli massacre. She was one of the very few representatives of the Western media in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli offensive “Operation Cast Lead”, in which more than 1,400 Palestinians were killed, thousands were injured and became homeless.

Ms Jasiewicz described in detail the situation of a total siege from the sea and land, under which Gaza still finds itself today. Ms Jasiewicz also described war crimes committed by the Israeli army, emphasising above all attacks on the Palestinian Red Cross ambulances and its personnel, with whom she worked closely.

The eye witnessed experience was interlaced with chosen scenes from Alberto Acre’s documentary ‘To Shoot an Elephant’ about the attack, and also amateur footage made by International Solidarity Movement activists, documenting the details of ongoing unlawful shootings and harassment of Palestinian fishermen and farmers by the Israeli military, who claim they no longer ‘occupy’ Gaza.

The discussion afterwards was very positive and informative, and we were happy to learn about recent creation in Poland of a new Solidarity campaign with Palestine http://www.kampania-palestyna.pl/ , which is an equivalent of the IPSC http://www.ipsc.ie/.

Finally, the IPSC would like to thank all who attended the meeting – the very first IPSC meeting in Polish - and are very grateful to the lovely people in Seomra Spraoi for allowing us to use the venue at the last minute.

Muhammad Farmawi, a 15-year-old said to have been shot dead by the IDF during Land Day riots in Gaza on Tuesday, was reported on Saturday to be alive and well.

The Palestinian Ma’an news agency said Farmawi’s mother was surprised to find her son alive four days after he was allegedly killed. His death had been confirmed by medical professionals in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Ma’an report, Farmawi arrived in Gazan Rafah on Friday alive and well. He was discovered to be part of a group of 17 Palestinian youths who were arrested after trying to infiltrate Egypt via smuggling tunnels.

Gaza police facilitated the boys’ return to their homes.

Farmawi’s mother had “wept for days at the loss of her son,” whom she considered a martyr, Ma’an reported.

The Israeli police did not attempt to stop the settlers and asked the family of Nadia to file a complaint.

The attack against Rifqa and her daughter was caught on film, but the police did not arrest any of the assailants.
