Blood Diamonds still being sold in Ireland

The IPSC have called for a total and speedy ban on Israeli BLOOD DIAMONDS in Ireland the call comes just after, the relaunch of the BOYCOTT Israeli good in Ireland campaign.

All jewelers will be contacted and asked to join the campaign to stop the importation and selling of the Israeli blood diamonds.

Waterford IPSC calls for total boycott on Israeli goods

Waterford IPSC (Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign) calls for the complete boycott of Israeli goods supplied in certain shops and supermarkets in the Waterford City and County areas.

The Waterford group representative expressed urgency in applying the boycott in the area, stating the following "It is of utmost importance that Israeli good be boycotted A.S.AP, City and County wide"

The campaign to boycott Israeli goods has been in action throughout Ireland for quite a while now with resounding success, however some outlets in Waterford have resisted the requests from the IPSC and others to remove Israeli goods.

Israeli attack on the human rights Flotilla

I really don't think anybody expected this!
Let's face it, we expected Israel to launch some sort of effort to stop the flotilla, the more romantic souls among us, me included, thought that JUST maybe one or two may make it. Some even considered that Israel might for PR purposes, allow the vessels to go to Gaza.

Nobody ever, even for a moment considered that Israel would SLAUGHTER innocent people to show her might to the rest of the world.
You see it wasn't a mistake, it was pure arrogance, they figured with Americas support who is going to do anything. So now the standoff begins, America is undecided, the British are waiting for the Americans to make the decision for them, other countries are either fighting the issue or sending out statements of condemnation.

There are however some surprises, the Irish PM. Brian Cowen has made it very clear to Israel that all captives (I prefer Kidnapped), Must be released A.S.A.P.
Mr Cowen, has also demanded safe voyage for the M.V. Rachel Corry to Gaza, and has in no uncertain terms stated, that he will not allow Irish citizens to be treated with anything but respect.




The picture above is of the M.V. Rachel Corrie just after her christening, being readied on her maiden voyage to Gaza.

All eyes are now on her, like a hero of the people, she makes her way with the hopes of the masses. I believe even those silent on the issue of the slaughter of the innocent people on the first vessel, are secretly hoping that there is not another incident. Yet the poison and bile keeps spewing out of Israel, It was reported that an Israeli radio host stated, Israel will sink the Rachel Corrie.

I believe THEY WILL NOT, I also believe they will handle the occupants of the M.V. Rachel Corry with kid gloves! Why? I hear you ask, well two reasons really and here they are:

(1). The Irish are held in at least as much respect as Israel in the US, I am not saying that the Irish have as much political Influence as Israel, not by a mile in fact, but they are RESPECTED in the US and indeed in most countries around the world.

(2). They are known for speaking out on issues such as this, and indeed as proved by their Foreign Ministers comments in Gaza, they will. It must also be remembered that Ireland is a warrior nation, and famed to be quick tempered (not my view), along with this they WILL call it as they see it, which in my mind is a great thing..

The Irish area great nation, who stand up for the underdog and will not take excuses when it comes to their people. Like the Turks they react quickly and this is a good thing, the world was looking for leadership when this happened, but OBAMA was silent as were others. the leadership and example came from Turkey, Ireland and Iran, these tree countries were the first to condemn and speak out. I know, there will be people (especially Israelis) who will be frothing at the mouth at the mention of Iran, but this is fact...

Anyway, whilst it remains to be seen if my predication, on how Israel will handle the Rachel Corrie situation is correct or not, I would ask all who read this (badly written) statement, to come together to support the people on board and demand along with me, that the M.V. Rachel Corrie be ALLOWED to go all the way to Gaza...
