“In Gaza’s Hell”- Controversial meeting with Ewa Jasiewicz![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) public meeting, in Polish, with journalist and human rights activist Ewa Jasiewicz took place on Saturday 20th March 2010 in Seomra Spraoi. Ewa was speaking about her experiences in Gaza as an emergency paramedic during the Israeli massacre in Winter 2008/09. Despite unforeseen complications caused by the unexpected decision of the Polish co-organiser to pull out at the last moment, the meeting was successful. Even though the attendance was relatively small (due in no small part to the last minute change of venue), the media commotion created in the Dublin Polish press around the meeting initiated a very important discussion about the Middle East within the Polish community in Dublin. It seems that even outside their motherland many Poles can not take part in debate on subjects considered ‘controversial’, and also as in Poland, there is a large tendency to avoid any discussion related to Palestine-Israel issue. |

Muhammad Farmawi, a 15-year-old said to have been shot dead by the IDF during Land Day riots in Gaza on Tuesday, was reported on Saturday to be alive and well.
The Palestinian Ma’an news agency said Farmawi’s mother was surprised to find her son alive four days after he was allegedly killed. His death had been confirmed by medical professionals in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Ma’an report, Farmawi arrived in Gazan Rafah on Friday alive and well. He was discovered to be part of a group of 17 Palestinian youths who were arrested after trying to infiltrate Egypt via smuggling tunnels.
Gaza police facilitated the boys’ return to their homes.
Farmawi’s mother had “wept for days at the loss of her son,” whom she considered a martyr, Ma’an reported.

The Israeli police did not attempt to stop the settlers and asked the family of Nadia to file a complaint.
The attack against Rifqa and her daughter was caught on film, but the police did not arrest any of the assailants.
Well done to Kasia, Ewa and all involved in this public meeting!
Wonderful to see such outreach to the Polish community in Ireland.
