Excellent work Caoimhe, you are an inspiration to us allAuthor by Ali H.
Publication date Mon Sep 11, 2006 17:23Caoimhe has suggested a solution on her banner. Boycotting Israel and bringing its sad economy to its knees would be a favour to its neighbours and to the 40% of Israelis who are apparently living in poverty as a result of their governments failed policies.
Far from being some sort of lifestyle protester as you suggest Caoimhe is a very brave and committed person. Who else would continue in the face of being shot while on a peaceful protest by ZioNazi shock troops.
"While the fighters took cover, Caoimhe ran straight towards the action. (She cuts a rather conspicuous figure in Jenin; 6ft 1in tall with bright red hair.) A disabled Palestinian boy had been shot off his bicycle by an IDF sniper. Caoimhe ran straight towards him, despite the continuing fire, and covered the gaping wound in his back. Within minutes, the Red Crescent ambulance arrived at the scene, and amid continuing gunfire, the paramedics got the boy into the vehicle. The snipers managed to shoot through the ambulance window, shattering glass all over the boy and nearly killing the local cameraman who was filming a report. At the hospital, we were told that the boy was going to survive but would be paralysed from the waist down. This, said Caoimhe, is everyday life in Jenin."
Her action further discredits Bliar showing that the poodle really has no clothes.
Justice for the peoples of Lebanon and Palestine. Boycott Israel!!!!

Blair greeted by protests in LebanonDemonstrations inside and outside Tony Blair's summit with the Lebanese prime minister, Fouad Siniora, marred the first visit by a British prime minister to the country today.
As Mr Blair was speaking at a press conference, a woman named as Caoimhe Butterley interrupted and stood 10 feet from the two leaders holding a banner which said "Boycott Israeli apartheid". She told reporters: "This visit is an insult to the memory of Lebanese, Palestinians and other Muslims. This visit is an insult to the memory of thousands of Lebanese who have died as a result of Blair's policies. Shame on you Tony Blair."
The woman, who officials said was Irish and working for a non-governmental organisation in Beirut, was hustled away.
