Michael Malone, 10 May
An emergency rally in solidarity with the people of Palestine will take
place in Galway city centre tomorrow, Saturday (11 May) at 2pm.
Israeli Forces have now killed almost 35,000 people in Gaza since October,
with the death toll almost 10 times higher than the entire conflict in the
North of Ireland.
With tanks and warplanes bombarding Rafah, where 1.5 million Palestinians
are seeking shelter, a full scale ground invasion by Israel there would be
beyond catastrophic.
The Galway branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (GPSC) is
calling on people to assemble at the Galway Cathedral at 2pm before
marching through the city centre to the Spanish Arch, where they will be
addressed by a number of speakers.
They are asking people to take to the streets again with flags, banners,
drums, and a sense of solidarity.
“Through rallies, vigils, talks, and concerts, the people have Galway have
shown unbelievable support for the people of Palestine throughout the
seven months of the Gaza Genocide, and we are asking you to join us again,
and bring a friend, this Saturday,” said GPSC.
“As a people who went through a forced starvation by an occupying power,
particularly here in the West of Ireland, there has never been a more
important time to stand with the people of Palestine.”
