Irish in Gaza

Irish in Gaza No longer living in Gaza not by choice but circumstance, our hearts remain. We will return. I ( jenny) worked at that time on the land team. Thank you.

UPDATE: No longer living in Gaza ( not by choice but circumstance) but our hearts along with friends and comrades are still there...One day we will return but in the meantime, we will stand loud and proud beside Palestine and her people...

Derek and Jenny are human rights activists, both originally from Mayo, west coast of Ireland . We lived in cyprus for 5 years and while there became part of t

he Free gaza Movement. Derek was crew on the first boat in 41 years to enter Gaza International Port. The freegaza movement successfully sent 5 boats to Gaza up until “Operation cast lead” when the Israeli Navy began to forcefully and violenty block these ships. The ships continued in an attempt to break the Illegal blockade on the coastel enclave of Gaza. Both of us were abord the MV Rachel Corrie , part of the first freedom flotilla, that was attacked in international waters , hijacked and forcefully taken to Israel before being detained and eventually deported back to Ireland. It was in this Flotilla that the Mavi Marmara was also attacked and 9 people were murdered. The following year, we became part of a Malaysian Organisation, Perdana Global Peace Foundation, headed by the 4th Prime minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathair Mohammed. We spent 10 months living and working on a project in Malaysia and in May of 2011 we sailed from Greece into Palestinian waters along with journalists and other members of P.G.P.F. We were attacked again in Palestinian waters by the Israeli Navy who opened fire on our ship. We are now living in Gaza for the past number of years. We have completed many project’s and have many more lined up while we are here and will document each of these as well as other information from Gaza regularly on blog, www.irishingaza.wordpress.com, as well as this face book page, .

A Song For Palestine is a drama that looks at how our Irish history, with landlordism and famine, in some ways is mirrored by the genocide in Palestine today. It looks at the devastation and futility of war, all war. It asks if war and genocide as method of solving problems is sustainable for the future of mankind.

Its main contribution , if successful, will be to provide some finance for water in a sovereign country that needs water for the survival of millions of its peaceful residents, men, women and children.

THE DITCH

Drew Harris falsely claimed at the public accounts committee last week he's “not aware” of any reports concerning the flights – even though he was emailed directly last November after gardaí ignored four criminal complaints. This email was acknowledged on his behalf at the time.

‘Not aware’
On 23, 24, 25 and 30 October 2024 The Ditch wrote to taoiseach Simon Harris and the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB).

The correspondence said four FedEx flights from Memphis to Cologne carrying F-35 combat jet parts to Nevatim military air base in Israel were to enter Irish airspace without authorisation from the minister for transport.

The carriage of munitions of war through Irish airspace without permission from the minister is a criminal offence punishable by up to three years' imprisonment.

Harris has been contacted for comment.

It's now hot in Gaza. Living or at least existing in the heat amongst the dust and rubble, death and fear is all that you get to taste.

No water means so much more than dying of thirst...

It's means more infections,more spreading of disease. It means malnutrition, non hygienic hospitals. No washing of the deceased...

Devastation,death,destruction. Starvation, pain,malnutrition. Slow death from disease and illness with no medications.

Two months of siege on top of almost two years of geno'cide

We continue to fund water. Less water for higher prices and more people but this is not a reason for us to stop...SoWe Won't.

If donating is not possible right now,please share for awareness.

Cancer,
The Silent Death .
♦️The Israeli Occupation Forces deliberately deprive cancer patients in the Strip of access to lifesaving treatment by systematically destroying healthcare infrastructure and denying patients the right to travel for treatment abroad. By this, Israel is committing a grave violation of Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of , which prohibits the deliberate imposition of life conditions on patients and other civilians in the Strip calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole or in part.

Israel has demolished 1,000 Palestinian homes in West Bank camps since January:

The destruction has focused on three northern West Bank refugee camps – Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams – where Israeli forces have carried out operations since Jan. 21.

It described the assault as part of a 159-day military campaign marked by home burnings, road demolitions and the conversion of residential buildings into army outposts.

Since the start of the operations, 42 Palestinians have been killed in Jenin, with dozens more wounded or arrested and around 22,000 people forcibly displaced, according to the committee.

A separate statement from the Tulkarem media committee said Israeli bulldozers demolished 400 homes in Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps and partially damaged more than 2,500 others.

In July, the International Court of Justice ruled Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Israeli military operations in the occupied West Bank have demolished more than 1,000 Palestinian homes and killed at least 55 people since January, according to two Palestinian media committees.
