00:00 Free, free Palestine!
00:06 We've come here to protest today against RTE's coverage of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank.
00:15 At no stage have RTE named this as a genocide, which is what it is.
00:21 That has been confirmed by international experts now.
00:25 And as mothers, as sisters, as godmothers, as aunties, as uncles, as granddads,
00:31 we all feel we have to come out and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
00:36 It is not okay for RTE to not be using correct language.
00:41 They are a national broadcaster and we need them to be using active language in terms of what is happening.
00:49 Otherwise we are not going to have successful peace talks and remediation.
00:54 We have 108 pairs of shoes here today representing the 108 journalists whose lives have been lost in Palestine and the West Bank.
01:06 And really it's hard to even speak about this because it is so emotional.
01:11 This is like witnessing the worst human rights atrocities of our times.
01:17 It's a silent genocide and we are hearing a deafening silence in terms of assigning appropriate accountability to the forces who are enabling this genocide.
