IPSC handing in petitions against the Annexation Wall in Palestine![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) will tomorrow mark the second anniversary of the landmark International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Israel’s wall in the West Bank is illegal. The IPSC will pay a visit to the Department of Foreign Affairs to deliver some 5,000 petitions collected in recent months by its Dublin and Limerick branches. The petitions will be handed in at 12.30pm, preceded by a ceremonial signing of the petition by a number of politicians from various political parties, including Senator Brendan Ryan of Labour. Raymond Deane of the IPSC said: “This time two years ago there was great hope among Palestinians when, on the 9th of July 2004, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared Israel’s Wall to be illegal and affirmed that all states were under obligation ‘not to render any aid or assistance to the Wall and its associated regime.’” |

Petition in support of the Palestinian People
Issued : Tuesday 11 July, 2006
Speaking beforehand, Mr O'Maonaigh commented, "Today marks the second anniversary of the landmark International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Israel's wall in the West Bank is illegal. Labour Youth condemns the actions of the government of Israel in their continued oppression,discrimination and aggressive activity against the Palestinian People.
"We support the establishment of a viable, democratic and secure state of Palestine. We are calling for a boycott of all Israeli imports and goods sold in Ireland in solidarity with the Palestinian People.
"Further the Irish Government must immediately take action against Irish company Cement Roadstone Holdings for their disgraceful participation in the building of the wall. CRH have a 25% stake in Israel's only cement company. CRH are profiteering off the oppression and blood of the Palestinian people and should receive no further public contracts until they end their complicity."
