A conversation with Dr David Hickey.

Dr David Hickey is a legend both on and off the field. His political activism spans many years, from Ireland to Cuba, to Palestine.

A most erudite and deeply compassionate human being, sitting in the company of David is only ever a privilege.

Social Rights Ireland was delighted to have David on this week as he touched on a range of issues that lead us to understand the why and how of genocide in Palestine.

From obedience and compliance, to embracing a "new language" as called for in Eavan Boland's poem, 'Child of Our Time', David reminded us that we must continue to educate and organise. And persist! Persist! Persist!
