Join Shannonwatch and the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign for a National Mobilisation at Shannon Airport on Sunday 8th September, between 2pm and 3.30pm, to say ‘Stop Arming Israel – No weapons or military flights to Israel through Shannon!’

Ten months into Apartheid Israel’s genocide in Gaza and brutality in the West Bank, the US and other states continue to supply weapons, ammunition and other forms of support to Israel – making them directly complicit in these heinous crimes against humanity. The Irish government steadfastly refuses to inspect US warplanes that stop at Shannon Airport or otherwise use Irish airspace. This is unconscionable!

Join our protest to demand:

  • that the Irish government ensures that Irish airports and Irish airspace is not used to transport weapons, tech or other logistical or tactical support to Apartheid Israel.
  • that the Irish government pass the Arms Embargo Bill, proposed by the Seanad Civic Engagement Group.
  • Irish and international sanctions on the genocidal Apartheid state of Israel, including the implementing the Occupied Territories Bill and Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill.
  • Break diplomatic relations with the genocidal Apartheid state of Israel.

The plan: Assemble 2pm at the open space near the roundabout, on the right as you come into Shannon Airport. March as close to the airport as we can, and then back to the open space for a rally. Wrap up for 3.30pm.

PLEASE JOIN, SHARE & INVITE YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK, THANKS!

You local IPSC branch may be organising buses or car-pooling, please contact them to see.
