On Sunday 8th of August, on a sunny day in Dublin, around 30 members and supporters of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign gathered at the Spire on O'Connell Street to take part in the international day of solidarity with the people of Sheikh Jarrah. Sheikh Jarrah is a Palestinian neighbourhood in Occupied East Jerusalem. Following the eviction of four Palestinian families from their homes in order to make room for Israeli colonial settlers last year, the local residents began a determined campaign of civil protest which has since become a symbol of opposition to the occupation of Palestine, and for Palestinian-Israeli cooperation against the occupation.

Activist Joseph Dana warns: As the protest has grown to include more and more Israelis, the Israeli committee has increased in size dramatically and slowly taken over the guiding duties of the movement. The character of the Israeli committee is becoming a Zionist one as political parties such as Meretz have begun to take central roles in the protest movement. Some of the “official” spokespeople of the Sheikh Jarrah protest do not even attend the joint Palestinian-Israeli planning committee instead preferring to organize solely from the Israeli side. This gulf between the committees presents one of the most profound challenges to the future of the joint struggle.
The forces of Zionism see an opportunity in Sheikh Jarrah to exploit the work of a group of dedicated Israelis and Palestinians that believe in co-existence and co-habitation. The strength of the movement will be seen in whether they can weather the Zionist storm that has already begun to take over the movement.
