note: these are actions to take during this Holiday Season. This entry includes Days 3, 4, and 5 (Dec 27,28 & 29)
Join our 12 Days of Christmas Action for Palestine campaign - 1 solidarity action a day that you can do from home between Christmas Day and Lá Nollaig na mBan.
A second Christmas under genocide. A second Christmas of hell for the people of Gaza and Palestine, while the world’s governments refuse to act.
But we the people will not be silent. We will not look away. We will not ignore.
By coming together virtually, we can have a meaningful impact, raise awareness, and send a resounding message of support and solidarity to those who need it the most. This campaign amplifies existing solidarity actions and targets, as well as offering short readings/videos to educate ourselves. For each action and each day, make sure to follow us and share your action.

LEARN ABOUT Palestinian media under attack
Palestinians are risking their lives to document the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza.
Under international law, journalists are protected from attack during armed conflict. But 201 Palestinian media workers have been killed by Israel since October 2023. 5 journalists were killed in one attack on a marked Press van on St Stephens Day.
International media has been banned from entering Gaza or only allowed in under Israeli military supervision and censorship.
Promote and boost Palestinian journalists by following, sharing & liking their posts:

Day 4 post (Dec 28): Day 4: Instagram post: Instagram - Join @themoralcodes & @audreylouise29 campaign in demanding that RTÉ publish a disclosure at the beginning of each news article that has been pre-approved by the Israeli Military Censor.
Write directly to complaints@rte.ie or scan the QR code on the Instagram post
Learn About:
RTÉ sources & publishes articles from AFP and Reuters that have been pre-reviewed & censored by the Israeli Military Censor, without disclosing this to the public.
The Israeli Military Censor makes it mandatory for foreign news journalists operating within Israel to submit to pre-publication reviewal. It suppresses information as it deems fit.
Read more in Audrey Kissane’s article on Reporting on Gaza: RTE is in breach of its own principles and, possibly, the law.
Day 5 post (Dec 29): Day 5 – Boycott TEVA - Instagram post: Instagram
TEVA is an Israeli pharmaceutical company and one of the largest global manufacturers of generic medications. TEVA states that it is “deeply committed to the State of Israel” and it pays massive taxes which fund Israel’s genocide, colonisation and occupation of Palestine. It is paying Israel $750 million in back-tax alone over the next 5 years, on top of its annual tax. It profits from Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, allowing the company to exploit the captive Palestinian market, and it is complicit in limiting the supply of medicines to Palestine.
ACTION
1. Ask your doctor not to prescribe TEVA products unless there is no suitable alternative
2. Ask your pharmacist not to dispense TEVA products unless there is no suitable alternative, and to use alternative stockists
Use the Take Action for Palestine | Boycott Teva! handy email sender. Just click on your local pharmacy on the map, and send the pre-written email.
