We, the undersigned, call on RTÉ - Ireland's national broadcaster - to cease ignoring the Palestine issue in both news coverage and commentary. RTÉ withholds from Irish people all information about the Israeli army's daily persecution, harassment and even killing of Palestinians (including children) within the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip. RTÉ has been silent about successive waves of hunger strikes among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, many of them detained without trial, and many of them children. The Palestine issue is at the heart of conflict in the Middle East, hence its resolution is an essential precondition for world peace. RTÉ, by its non-reporting of the issue, is depriving Irish people of information and understanding. RTÉ: please break your silence on Palestine!
