A fundraising hour for Gaza is being held by an Irish charity at lunchtime this Friday.

Irish Medical Aid for Palestinians (Irish MAP) is an Irish registered not for profit organisation, established in 2007 with the overall aim of providing the necessary help and support to the Palestinian people in order to protect, maintain and improve their health.

Irish Map (Medical Aid for Palestinians) has made an appeal for members of the public to raise money during “Gaza hour”.
Do your bit for the suffering people of Gaza.

The charity aims to raise €430,000 for medical supplies, which it says is some 10 cent for every person in the country.

Due to an embargo on Gaza’s borders, the organisation is raising money for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society rather than collecting medical equipment. Schools, workplaces and community groups are being called on to collect money using activities of their choice.

Gaza hour takes place on Friday between 1pm and 2pm. Funds can be lodged through www.irishmap.ie or in the Irish Map account at AIB, Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2, account 31267097, sort code 933384.

This fundraiser follows on the success of the British campaign which has riased in excess of £1M despite active opposition and resistance from Israeli-baised vested interests such as the BBC and Sky TV (Murdoch is a noted zionist)

The number of complaints against the BBCs bias continues to grow with over 21,000 complaints against the BBC vs. 380 hasbaraniks supporting them 50:1 against!

Meanwhile the hypocrisp of the Israelis knows no bounds with the "performer" Noa trying to have it both ways, justifying the butchery of Gazans and then running to their "aid" (she wanted the publicity more like it!)
