IRISH ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT (IAWM) PRESS RELEASE – 17 August 2021 • IRISH GOVERNMENT MUST ATONE FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THIS FUTILE WAR AND OCCUPATION • IRISH GOVERNMENT MUST CLOSE THE SHANNON WARPORT EXCEPT FOR REFUGEES AND HUMANITARIAN AID • TWENTY YEARS OF US-LED WAR AN ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE FOR AFGHANISTAN • SOLIDARITY WITH ALL AFGHANS AT THIS TIME ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS The Irish Anti War Movement is appalled at the scenes unfolding in Kabul as desperate and frightened Afghans cling to the side of aeroplanes while taking off. This is surely the most iconic horrific image of the legacy of a failed, futile 20-year war that should never have happened and a terrible rebuttal to the failed foreign policies and imperial hubris of the US, Britain and the NATO countries.

IRISH ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT (IAWM) PRESS RELEASE – 05 July 2021 • IRISH GOVERNMENT MUST ACT ON ISRAEL’S ILLEGAL DEMOLITION OF PALESTINIAN HOMES The facts that led to the last war on Gaza, namely the daily subjugation, arrests and killing of Palestinians and the threat of evictions and demolitions, are still an ever present daily experience for all Palestinians. If anything the situation experienced by Palestinians in Sheikk Jarrah and around the Al Aqsa Mosque in May have got worse.

IRISH ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT (IAWM) PRESS RELEASE – 18 June 2021 • SUPPORT LE CHÉILE EVENT IN DUBLIN TOMORROW • CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY - NO TO RACISM, NO TO WAR! The Irish Anti-War Movement in a statement today called for support for the ‘Le Chéile - Diversity not Division’ event planned for Smithfield in Dublin at 2pm tomorrow 19 June. Racism is so often utilised by ruling elites to justify war. This has been the case for hundreds of years. In WW1 leaders on both sides used racist propaganda to demonise the alleged enemy and thus convince ordinary people to slaughter each other in muddy trenches. The rise of the Nazis in Germany in the 1930’s was partly predicated on racism and the Nazis subsequent horrific war crimes against Jews, Romas and others fuelled by it.
