 "Not to recognise the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall" To mark the 5th anniversary of the International Court of Justice ruling on July 9th 2004 that Israel's Apartheid Wall was illegal and must be torn down, last Saturday, July 4th, Galway activists took to the streets to illuminate the reprehensible fact that the so called "international community" is still turning the blind eye to this egregious crime: Israel continues to construct this obscenity while The UN has taken no action to implement the ICJ decision and. with the exception of a few principled governments, states have put no pressure or sanctions, the EU continues to grant Israel trading privileges in violation of the ICJ's call on third states "not to recognise the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall" nor "to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation brought about by such construction." International business, as is its wont, continues to finance and provide material support to the Wall and settlements. Woodie's DIY in the Galway Shopping Center was again picketed and true to malignant form, in the fifth Saturday in a row, Woodie's called in their beck and call Gardai who parroted their new black lie; that their custumers were complaining about us (see video). Conveniently parked was the Garda threat of last Saturday week that Woodie's was going to supply us with a letter from their briefs confirming that the exterior shopping precinct was private property and our persons as a consequence would be personae non gratae.
