In the past two and a half years of Israel’s relentless assaults on Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank, Fórsa has campaigned for peace, justice, and the human rights of the Palestinian people.
This year at our Biennial Conference, we premiered a video highlighting the actions taken by our union and members.
From a Fórsa member joining the humanitarian flotilla mission to Gaza, to workplace walkouts, efforts to build the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, calls for sanctions, and support for conscientious objectors, this video highlights the workers and campaigners in our ranks organising for an end to Ireland’s complicity in genocide and occupation.
Together we have organised for an end to Ireland’s complicity in genocide and occupation. We have taken part in workplace walkouts, efforts to strengthen the BDS movement, calls for sanctions, and given our support for conscientious objectors.
The video features Fórsa member Donna Schwarz who risked her life by bravely taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla, in an attempt to break the IDF’s siege on the Gaza Strip and deliver aid to Palestinians.
Alongside Donna, the video features Fórsa activists, taking part in efforts to support Palestinians and pressure government action, as well as speakers at a recent BDS super panel in the Teachers’ Club, including Omar Barghouti and Sally Rooney.
