- End FGM in Europe
According to UNICEF three million girls are subjected to Female Genital Mutilation every year. That’s over 8, 000 a day. This can end and, with your help, it will end. Amnesty International is working around the world in communities where FGM takes place. FGM is a custom in 28 African countries and some parts of Asia and the Middle East but it happens here, in Europe and even in Ireland. Support Amnesty International's research, education and campaigning work necessary to consign this barbaric practice to history. Log on to www.amnesty.ie/endfgm to find out more

Gaza Crisis
Dear Friends
I know you are all very concerned at the humanitarian and human rights crisis in Gaza.
Amnesty International has unequivocally criticised the Israeli authorities and Hamas and is proactively lobbying the Irish Government, the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland and Hamas.
On Friday at 6pm outside St Stephen’s Green we will be inviting members of the public to light a candle to commemorate every person who has been killed since December 27th in this conflict.
We have also created a series of actions for our online Action Centre, www.amnesty.ie that you can take:
Sincerely
Julie,

It's a terrible indictment of all Western Governments that we all stood by while the Israelis blasted their way through Gaza
It's all well and good to boycott Israeli products............hitting them in the pocket is where it really hurts them............
But some country should have done something...........if that happens again, Iran will end up feeling like they have no choice but to enter the fray (overtly) again................Israel will bring upon themselves their own downfall unless they learn to play by the same rules as everyone else
After 800 years of occupation,the English even realised they had to meet (Ireland) half way with their treaty......even if that was a cunning ploy to drive us to Civil war............. -

Unremarked upon by the Wests media, a campaign of persecution is taking place in the Gaza Strip, and to a lesser extent in the West Bank. The general silence surrounding this campaign aids its perpetrators. The victims are Palestinian Christians, in particular the small Christian community of Gaza.
The perpetrators are a variety of Islamist groups, all of which are manifestations of a process of growing Islamic militancy and piety taking place across the regionThe Christian population of the Gaza Strip is about 2,000-3,000 people. Gazan politics has long been characterized by a conservative, Islamic bent. Gaza's Christians as a result have tended toward political invisibility.
There are many examples of intimidation, beatings, land theft, firebombing of churches and other Christian institutions, denial of employment, economic boycotts, torture, kidnapping, forced marriage, sexual harassment, and extortion," he said. PA officials are directly responsible for many of the attack"
