As part of the international Cultural Boycott of Israel campaign, on the evening of Sunday 19th July, members and supporters of the IPSC gathered outside the O2 Arena in the Dublin Docklands and distributed leaflets to concert goers, asking Leonard Cohen not to carry on with his scheduled tour finale in Tel Aviv. As I wasn't there myself, I can't really comment on what happened, though I hear the responses were generally positive. You can get some idea of the mood from the video and pics below.

Jump To Comment: 1That was a very nicely done protest. It is always much more effective to ask for peoples cooperation than to try and shout down at them with a megaphone. A favourite tactic of those who wish to discredit protestors is to portray them as aggressive thugs. Too often overzealous youth will play right into this stereotype and completely undermine their own campaign. This cannot be said of these people. There is a time and a place for action and in my experience the ones with the biggest mouths on protests are the first to be seen heading out the back door when that time arrives. Well done IPSC.
