The park was renamed 'Herzog Park' in the mid-1990s in tribute to Chaim Herzog and his father, Yitzhak Herzog.
The Dublin City Council has approved a decision to remove the name of the sixth president of the Israeli regime, Chaim Herzog, from a public park in the Rathgar neighborhood, following sustained pressure from pro-Palestine activists.
According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the proposal to rename the park was first submitted to the city’s South East Area Committee in December 2023, amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It was officially approved by a majority vote earlier this week.
Activists are pressing for the park to be renamed either "Free Palestine" or Hind Rajab in honor of the martyred Palestinian child Hind Rajab.
The decision comes amid continued pressure from pro-Palestine organizations, which have organized numerous protests in Dublin since the beginning of the 2023 aggression on Gaza. These efforts include calls for international sporting bodies such as UEFA, FIFA, and the International Cycling Union (UCI) to boycott the Zionist entity. (more...)
