The Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) will hold a protest tomorrow (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.
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.

The fight by Irish anti-war activists against the arms trade and Ireland’s involvement in the war machine.
"Not in Our Name"
Documentary Screening address by Goretti Horgan of Women Against Raytheon.
In 2006 Derry anti-war activists occupied the Raytheon Arms Manufacturing company in Derry city as a protest against its supplying parts to the Israeli Defence Forces. At the time the Israelis were involved in a full-scale bombing of Lebanon which flattened the country and killed over one and half thousand people.
The protestors, known as the "Raytheon 9", were brought to trial by the company.
Against all the odds, the court actually admitted that the Raytheon company was aiding and abetting war crimes. The protesters were acquitted and in January this year the company decided to pull out of Derry, showing just how effective targeted protests can be.
A further 9 women involved in protesting against the company during the assault by Israel on Gaza have been charged and are up on trial in early May. The huge campaign of support for the first Raytheon protesters ensured they were vindicated. We aim to do the same for the "Women against Raytheon". Please join us.
