Human Wall of Silence in Dublin Demands Justice and Attention

Several Irish solidarity groups converged in Dublin to form a human wall of silence down the premier shopping street in solidarity with the Palestinian National and International Call to Action for November 9. Demonstrators held placards condemning the Wall and candles to bring light and hope for an end to the injustice being committed against Palestinians by the Israeli Apartheid Wall. A tableaux representing the Wall and the numerous ways in which it impacts the daily life of Palestinians was displayed for passers-by to gain insight into the reality of the situation. Representations of the devastation in its many forms were displayed, from displacing and separating families to destroying land and obstructing movement. The streets were flooded with informational leaflets to ensure that passers-by walked away with concrete information about the Apartheid Wall.
