| Dear friends and colleagues, 1. Eamon McMahon With great sadness, we share the news of death of our dear friend Eamon McMahon. Our commiserations to his family and friends, his comrades in the trade union and Palestine solidarity movements, his professional colleagues and collaborators, and members of the Ireland-Palestine Mental Health Network (IPMHN). Eamon made an enormous contribution over many years. Most recently, and under the auspices of Trade Union Friends of Palestine – of which he was a founder – he organised a conference in Dublin in 2019 on the impact of settler colonialism on Palestinian children. His report can be read here. A podcast in which Eamon talks to conference participants Khaled Quzmar, Director of Defence of the Child International-Palestine, and lawyer Nery Ramati can be found here. Eamon was a staunch campaigner for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, as is represented in this video, ‘A strategy to liberate Palestine’. An interview with Eamon can be heard here. 2.
