Today, the Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) will held a protest (Friday 26th Feb) at 5pm outside the Dail to demand the government impose sanctions on Israel in response to the outrage where seven falsified Irish passports were used to facilitate the assassins of senior Hamas figure, Mahmoud Al Mabhouh, in Dubai.



IAWM press release stated:
The IAWM said it was inexplicable that Israel was being treated with kid gloves by both the Irish government and the international community when it had committed an outrage that showed complete contempt for international law, human rights, and the soveignity of Ireland and other states.
The IAWM pointed out that if Iran were implicated in such outrages it might well be used as a pretext for military attacks and certainly tougher sanctions, while no action whatsoever was even being discussed in relation to Israel.
