Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) is an independent, volunteer-ran, activist organisation in Ireland that advocates for Palestinian human rights and works in partnership with Palestinians living in Ireland. It aims to amplify the Palestinian voice within Ireland and campaigns against what it sees as violations of international law and human rights in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was founded in 2001.[1][2]

In 2018 members of the IPSC joined Clare Daly, Mick Wallace, Maureen O’Sullivan and Catherine Connolly on a vist to Damascus, Maaloula and Aleppo in Syria.[3] While there, Clare Daly criticised "Israeli, Saudi, American and Turkish interference" in Syria, but did not criticise the Bashar al-Assad government nor Russian influence.[3]

Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh of Sinn Féin is involved in the County Kildare branch of the organisation.[4]
