Good turnout for Thought Provoking Palestine Talk in Strabane

Ógra Shinn Féin in Strabane have described Thursday night’s public talk on the Israel/Palestine conflict as very informative and thought provoking.

The event was held in Strabane library where a very in depth presentation on the history of the middle east conflict was given by Michael Duncan from Omagh, who spent ten years living and working in the region.


Speaking following the event spokesperson for the Tobias Molloy Ógra Shinn Féin cumann, Neno McFarland said;

“I think tonight’s audience will have left here very much enlightened on the roots and history behind the current conflict in the Middle East. Michael showed his extensive knowledge of the situation and expressed his points of view brilliantly.”

“From listening to this man talk of his own experience of living in the area where the current Israeli bombardment is happening, it is clear he is very passionate about this topic, and this was evident in his very informative presentation.”

“We in Ógra Shinn Féin would like to thank Michael Duncan for delivering this public presentation and to all who attended on the night. We pledge our continued support for the right of the Palestinians to have their own state free from the brutal Zionist oppression that has dominated our television screens in recent times.”
