Cairde na Palaistíne will be heading to the western shore of Lough Neagh this Sunday and we encourage all who can to join us.

Extracting from and polluting Lough Neagh does not serve our communities. Our political class have knowingly allowed our environment to become disastrously polluted for the sake of short-term corporate profits. And we see that same attitude displayed as politicians shrug at the near-constant flow of deadly cargo and troops through Aldergrove.

We are inspired by the resistance and the love of their land that the Palestinian people demonstrate and we aim to act in solidarity by weakening US and British imperialism where we are.

We want the Lough back and NATO out!

Cairde na Palaístine will be heading to the western shore of Lough Neagh this Sunday and we encourage all who can to join us.

The fight for democratic control of our lands against extraction, and the fight against military funding and expansion share a common goal, in resisting the role of Ireland as a sacrifice zone facilitating U.S. imperialism.

Settler colonialism aims to dominate, extract, and separate people from their lands and culture. It is this process that led to the Lough being owned by a British earl and British bases being stationed all over the country.

We are inspired by the resistance to dispossession and love of land that the Palestinian people demonstrate and aim to act in material solidarity by weakening imperialism where we are.

The dispossession, plundering and pollution of Lough Neagh does not serve our communities. Use of our lands, infrastructure and public finances to support the U.S. military does not serve our communities. The same FDI led, going for growth, cowardice which is killing the Lough is the same attitude we see when politicians shrug at the near constant flow of deadly cargo and troops through Aldergrove and facilitate arms deals.

We want the Lough back and NATO out!

Aldergrove/Belfast International Airport 🚨❌✈️

A chairde, 99 U.S. Military aircrafts entered Aldergrove airspace this April.

16 landed

The number of C-17s passing through and landing remains high- their main function is cargo and troop transport

Towards the end of the month numerous reports of shipments of weapons to Israel emerged

We continue to see an increase of military planes in our airspace also land in Ramstein, Germany.

This is the largest U.S. base outside of the U.S. which serves as the control hub for U.S. operations in East Asia, also a central location for NATO operations.

The U.S. has been allowed to continue their material support to the I.O.F using our airspace and airport as a stopping grounds we ask ourselves...

Are we complicit

Do you want to stand by and watch...

On Friday 17th of April we were back in court for our judicial review. Our case challenges the funding practices of Invest NI, who have given close to 20 million pounds of public money to arms manufacturers.

The judge noted that our case is important and covers contentious issues, so deserves to have its proper day in court. In order for this to happen, he has permitted us to bring in the Department of Finance.

This means that both the Department of Finance and the Department for the Economy can be held accountable for their lack of oversight in Invest NI’s decision-making, which we believe goes against their own policies regarding use of public money.

To put it plainly - there are rules that Invest NI seem to have broken when they made the decision to give tax payer’s money to companies manufacturing parts for F35s. They must be challenged on this. F-35s continue to be used to commit war crimes. It is inconceivable that money from our taxes has been used to make weapons of war. Every single one of us has blood on our hands thanks to this decision. We need transparency, accountability, and a reality check for our politicians - they cannot claim to care about peace, justice, and life when they siphon off our tax money to the war machine.

We’re extremely grateful for our lawyers at Madden & Finucane, who continue to put in a huge amount of work to bring this case to court. As soon as the next court date is announced we will share it with our followers, and welcome your support at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Aldergrove/Belfast International Airport 🚨❌✈️

A chairde, 120 U.S. Military aircrafts entered Aldergrove airspace this March.

Over a quarter landed.

This is a substantial increase from 53 passing through the airspace in February

Over HALF of these aircrafts were C-17s - their main function is cargo and troop transport. C-17s can only travel 2400 nautical miles at a time. Palestine is 5790 nautical miles from the U.S. so we can assume refuelling happened at Aldergrove.
In March a quarter of aircrafts in our airspace also landed in Ramstein, Germany. This is the largest U.S. base outside of the U.S. which serves as the control hub for U.S. operations in East Asia, also a central location for NATO operations.

An increasing number of European countries have effectively closed their airspace to the U.S. military. Meanwhile, Aldergrove has recently been touted as a key location for both U.S. and British military operations

Laying host to every arm of the U.S. military from refuelling to troop layover.

We must scrutinise how the U.S. has been allowed to continue their illegal agression on Iran and their continuing material support to the I.O.F we ask ourselves...

How do we bring into question our complicity

Do we stand by and watch...
