Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
Listed by Tel Aviv University as an Antisemetic and Racist organization: Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC). "Among activist groups identifying with the Palestinian cause is the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), which, inter alia, organizes boycott actions and pickets against Israel and Israeli products, lobbies the Irish government and supports Palestinian refugees in Ireland. The IPSC was set up in late 2001 by a group of established Irish human rights and community activists, academics and journalists in partnership with Palestinians now living in Ireland. They have several branches throughout Ireland."
From the IPSC website (www.ipsc.ie):
The aims of IPSC
-To raise awareness in Ireland of the international plight of the Palestinian People.

-To develop and co-ordinate grassroots support for Palestinian rights among the media and concerned NGO's.
-To foster links between Palestinian and Irish organisations in the area of health, education and the global economy.
-To promote Palestinian culture: literature, music and other arts in Ireland, so Ireland and Palestine can share in each other's rich cultural history.
