Sectarians fling racist abuse at N Ireland’s charity Great March for Gaza

Knuckle-dragging ‘loyalist’ Israel supporters have gathered in Scarva, County Down, to disgrace themselves by flinging sectarian abuse at the Great March for Gaza. The humanitarian march, organised by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, set off from Lurgan, ten miles away, this morning. After Scarva, marchers walked a further almost twenty miles to Omeath in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel’s genocide and occupation:

The thugs were caught on camera by the defiant marchers as they passed:

Great march for Gaza vs “provocative behaviour”

The march is raising funds for Palestine Aid Ireland and Children Not Numbers. Residents of Scarva had lodged objections trying to prevent the march passing by the village. The Parades Commission had given permission for villages to mount a counter-demonstration, but only on condition that they avoid “provocative behaviour” toward the marchers.

Right. Donate to the march’s charities here.

Lumpen Protestant colonists support lumpen colonists in Israel and their land theft in Palestine.
We truly are living in The Age of The Moron.
Funny Paisley said no surrender but they were happy to surrender a few counties where they were about to lose a majority.
Bernadette Devlin once said “The bad guys won” but perhaps Nationalists actually won 80% of their country back.

Well done Canary for your detailed reporting on what what is happening on the ground as it affects ordinary people.
The ugly face of racism/sectarianism isn’t nice to see close up, but it is important that as a society we confront it and call it out for the vile cancer that it is
