Nos hacemos eco de la modificación del Free Derry Corner con motivo de la dramática situación en la franja de Gaza,que tras más de 20 días de ofensiva Israelí se ha saldado con más de 1300 muertos del lado palestino(417 son niños, 108 mujeres, 14 personal sanitario y 4 periodistas; Los heridos superan los 5.450, dos terceras partes de los cuales son civiles) y de 13 del lado de Israel(3 civiles bajo cohetes y 10 soldados en enfrentamientos,algunas fuentes elevan el número de soldados abatidos).
De momento hay una tregua,veremos que dura http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/443985/0/israel/gaza/tropas/.
Asi mismo incluimos imágenes de otras muestras de apoyo a la causa palestina en el lado republicano irlandes,a modo de recopilación gráfica,pero que al estar ya incluidas no las volveremos a insertar en la carpeta:
Free Derry mural changed into Free Gaza mural
1969, The Bogside, Occupied County Derry, Ireland. Barricades are erected by the Bogside residents around their community to defend against violent police raids, paramilitary attacks and recently re-deloyed British occupation forces. The area inside the barricades is declared “Free Derry” a no-go area for police and British troops and a direct affront to the authority of the Stormont Parliment.
Graffiti was scrawled on the gable wall of a House that read, “You Are Now Entering Free Derry.” dispite numerous attempts by the British government to knock the house down, that defining sign was later turned into a monument that would remain at the entrance of the Bogside until today, 40 years later (to the day), when it has been transformed in an act of solidarity with the people of Gaza.

In response to the latest Israeli onslaught against the Palestinian people, the mural was recently updated to include a new take on the lyrics of John Lennon’s famous Christmas song, War is Over
