Today Saturday  I had the privilege to take part in the march in Dublin city centre to highlight the justifiable cause of Palestinian freedom which has been denied to them by the Israeli Apartheid regime.

While walking through the city center my mind kept turning back to Amira Haas the well know Israeli journalist who had the courage to do what no other Israeli journalist would do and that was to live and report from among the people of the Gaza strip.

She described how a doctor in Gaza could not get permission to accompany his terminally ill mother to hospital, she died alone. She had many sad stories which she  wrote about in the well known newspaper Ha'aretz another one where a young man , whose fiancee was in Jordan, was denied a travel permit, a couple undergoing fertility treatment, received one permit for the day of their appointment, for his wife only.

Amira's mother survived the concentration camp in Bergen-Belsen, but what her mother taught her was how the ordinary German people would "Just look from the side".
 
It is now time for the Irish Government to stop looking from the side and implement a boycott of all Israeli goods until such time that the Palestinians are given proper freedoms in a  democratic society
