Jump To Comment: 1 2We will now be showing "Occupation 101" a NEW film about Palestine.
(This replaces The Israeli Wall)
The sting of dispassionate criticism
'Route Irish' made me reflect on my involvement
I was at the first protest that the film shows at Shannon on the 15 Dec 2001
Seeing the US soldiers did feel like a "hallucination"
At that event I also remember the exhiliration ("go on y crazy fucker") of seeing a protester inside the perimeter fence legging it torwards the World airlines carrier...
On a critical note:
Later in the film the voiceover claims that the Shannon Peace Camp was "initiated by some veterans of Greenham Common"
I thought that it was initiated at the 'Grassroots Gathering' held in Cork in 2002?
Helping to push (yes, you have to push) the idea came in part came from a book by Rebecca Solnit on the topic of the Nevada Test Site in the US.
(I don't want to lead into an argument about the pros and cons of the Peace Camp)
The main reason I think this is worth mentioning
is that if the film aims to renew anti-war activity
then to aid that work, an accurate account of where and how previous ideas/tactics 'got up and running' is useful.
It leads to the question
where in Ireland is there that fertile space
to push new ideas/tactics now?
