Ógra Shinn Féin actively oppose Israeli Onslaught

Ógra Shinn Féin joined a protest in Belfast yesterday to condemn the brutal Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip and demand an immediate end to the relentless and cruel slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children.

The protest in Belfast was just one of many solidarity events taking place across Ireland and the world, and the republican youth movement joined with the IPSC, and trade union activists to send a clear message of disgust and opposition to this barbaric inhumanity and war crime.

Sinn Féin MLA’s Jennifer McCann, Sue Ramsey and Caral Ni Chuilin where also in attendance to show their solidarity with the oppressed and brutalised Palestinians.



National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan speaking at the protest said,

“Ógra Shinn Féin attended today’s protest to call for an immediate end to the brutality directed at the Palestinians, we condemn the Israeli government for their savagery and murderous actions which have killed over 300 and injured over 2000, including women and children.”

“The brutal actions of Israel must be condemned outright across the world, and pressure must be exerted on the International community to ensure that Israel is brought to justice for these callous war crimes.”


“It is vital that we actively oppose Israel’s aggression, sending a strong message that Ireland stands shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed people of Palestine.”
