How can you recover from an attack that never ends? 

Every day, Israel finds new ways to attempt to destroy the mental health of Palestinians. In March the UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, released a devastating report examining Israel's systematic use of torture against Palestinians. The torture, combined with the wider campaign of destruction inflicted on Palestinians, forms an integral component of the ongoing genocide, inflicting severe bodily and mental harm on Palestinians as a group. “In Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Palestinians are subjected to a continuum of suffering,” Albanese said. 

“There is no refuge. No sanctuary. No safe place to exist.”

Israel inflicts pain and death on the bodies of people across Palestine with bombs, bullets, starvation and torture. We continue to witness and protest this attempt to physically erase Palestinians from their land. Equally barbaric is Israel's attack on the minds of the people of Palestine. Over decades and throughout generations, Israel has made trauma an all-encompassing reality that shapes daily life in Palestine.

Since October 2023, that trauma has expanded in every way. 

Researchers attempting to understand the psychological toll of genocide note that this trauma is intertwined with 'social isolation, spatial loss, global neglect, and enduring uncertainty.' The widespread destruction, displacement and loss caused by Israel causes massive mental health challenges. Disorders like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and complex grief continue to increase among all demographic groups in Gaza, including children, women and the elderly. Of course, given the almost total inaction by the international community, many in Gaza feel invisible. This exacerbates the psychological impact of conflict, reinforcing a sense of moral neglect and injustice.

The psychological suffering imposed on the people of Palestine is unacceptable. We stand with them now and always - join us at 1pm on Saturday on the Grand Parade.

When you think about how to ensure you don't support Israel, buying from your local fishmonger might not be top of your mind. But did you know that samphire grown in the genocidal apartheid state makes it's way to Irish fishmongers, supermarkets and restaraunt menus in large quantities?

Luckely for fishlovers in Macroom, they don't have to worry about this, Clancy's Fresh Fish has them covered!

They have committed to being an Apartheid Free Zone (AFZ), ensuring that their business is free from products and services from both Israel and international companies that profit from Israeli human rights abuses.

Make sure to check the interactive map on apartheidfree(dot)ie to find your local AFZs and support them.

Ask your local fishmonger where their samphire is from! Ask the same question to Restaurants when you see samphire on the menu!

Make sure to check the origin of all fruit and veg in supermarkets and never buy Israeli

If you have a business and would like to become an AFZ, email corkbds(at)proton(dot)me.

Tag a business in Cork that should become an AFZ in the comments!

Meriem kicked off last Saturday's demo with a reminder if the deep complicity of the Irish financial establishment in Israels genocide against the people of Gaza.

From and allowing our Central Bank to help Israel raise billions to finance the murder of families, to paying €1.2 million to SNYK, a company set up by former Unit 8200 soldiers, one of the most sinister branches of the Israeli Occupation Forces. It specializes in cyber operations targeting Palestinians.

Tell the government to stop the sale of genocide bonds here: www.ipsc.ie/action-item/cbi-act

Close your AIB accounts, transfer your AIB mortgage to another institution and contact their customer service to tell them how you feel.

March with us this Saturday at 1pm on Grand Parade in Cork City. We'll be there every Saturday until Palestine is free!
