Commemorating the second anniversary of its branch formation on 11th October 2023, IPSC Newry is hosting a march in Newry on Saturday 11th 2025 to mark 2 years of opposition both to the slaughter in Gaza and a century of Zionist Settler-Colonialism.
The march will assemble on Clanrye Avenue at 12 noon by Jennings Park Newsagents, then walk along Monaghan Street before finishing with a rally & speakers in Marcus Square around 12.40pm.
All supporters of the Palestine cause are invested to attend “Fáilte roimh chách”, and groups/ organisations who wish to take part are encouraged to contact newry@ipsc.ie
IPSC Newry Chairperson Marc Mac Seáin comments as follows:
“We formed our IPSC branch with a protest on 11th October 2023, well aware that Zionist carnage was being wrought upon Gaza again, yet we never expected that 2 years later (to the day) it would be continuing. Nor that we’d be looking at a death toll in the hundreds of thousands.
“We have played our part in a network of activists across Ireland try to pressure Western governments to end their complicity in genocide & whilst we have had minor wins which show a weakening of support for Zionism, we must keep the foot on the peddle to see a complete isolation of Israel, dismantling of their apartheid regime & demands met of the Palestinian people in their long running struggle for self determination.
“We must see an end to transit of weapons & bombs through Shannon, Aldergrove airports & our skies. We must see full sanctions, the Occupied Territories Bill including services & applied to the whole of Israel. We must see an end to government funding of firms which form part of Israel’s military supply chain (such as with InvestNI) and a ban of the arms trade to supply it.”
