Across the world there is a growing movement calling for international sanctions to be imposed against the State of Israel because of its treatment of the Palestinian people. This has intensified in recent weeks following the assault by the Israeli Navy on the peaceful flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza – and especially because of the killing of nine peace activists on board the Mavi Marmara ship.
The Irish Anti-War Movement has organised a public debate to provide a forum for political and civil society groups here in Ireland to discuss the arguments for and against imposing a boycott and sanctions on Israel, if we are to help achieve justice for the Palestinians and peace in the region.
WHEN: 7.00PM, Tuesday 22nd June
WHERE: O Connell Suite, Gresham Hotel, O’ Connell St., Dublin 1.
CHAIR: Broadcaster Karen Coleman, from Newstalk’s Wide Angle.
