A recent opinion poll found that 79% of adults in Ireland believe Israel's massacre in Gaza amounts to genocide.

The US has played double speak with the whole ceasefire negotiations.

Campaigners gathered in Dublin City Center on Saturday to hear facts about America's complicity in the genocide being spearheaded by Israel.

They are doing this with complete impunity and the support of the United States. This year, the United States increased its military aid to Israel from 3 billion a year to 15 billion a year.

Thousands more Palestinians are on the brink of starving to death, if disease doesn't kill them first.

Israel has been described as Washington's regional puppet.

The Israeli regime is essentially a client of the United States.

This is part of the imperial system,… the United States order.

Israel does for the United States what the United States doesn't have to do for itself in the Middle East.

Harry Browne, Lecturer, Dublin Institute of Technology

The Dublin rally heard that the Israel lobby runs everything in the United States, including the two main political parties that rotate the presidency.

Do you have much hope now that Kamala Harris seems to be coming along?

Not a crumb. She is beholden to the same interests of the Democratic Party. They're the same donors; she’s surrounded by the same people.

And people need to realize that just because it's a new person (they should not expect any change in policy) it's going to be the same process.

Rally Participant 01

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign has organized literally hundreds of protests throughout Ireland in recent months, with hundreds more planned.

And the lobby group is encouraging activists from right across the country and beyond, if possible, to take part in a national protest here in the Irish capital on Saturday, the 31st of August.
