Anti-war and pro-Palestine campaigners call Derry march against US-Israeli wars
Anti-war and pro-Palestine campaigners in Derry have called a demonstration in protest against the ‘ongoing US-Israel military aggression targeting Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank’.
The march calling for the ‘End of Trump’s Wars ‘ will take place Saturday, March 28, starting at 1pm from Bishop’s Gate marching to the Guildhall.
The Derry Anti War Coalition has joined with the Derry branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) urged the public to take part in the protest.
DAWC spokesperson, Davy McAuley said: “We stand united in calling for an immediate end to these destructive wars, which continue to devastate communities and violate international law.
“Our march is a call to action to end Trump’s War and demand respect for the sovereignty and rights of all peoples affected by this conflict."
Janine McLaughlin of the Derry IPSC continued: “The Gaza genocide continues as the world look towards the new wars launched by Israel and America.”
Ms. McLaughlin condemned ongoing violence and dispossession of the Palestinian population in the West Bank.
"If the world had stood up to the US and Israel over their actions in Palestine they would not now be in a position to spread their wars across the region,” she said.
The DAWC said: “We will march in solidarity with the peoples of Cuba and Venezuela, who continue to resist external interference and uphold their right to self-determination in the face of ongoing sanctions and hostility.
"The US attempts to starve the Cuban people into surrender in an egregious war crime and we salute the activists who broken the US sanctions to bring vital supplies to the island.”
