"What the world has witnessed is an outrageous act of sea piracy bordering on an act of war that transgresses the diplomatic rights of 50 countries and the premeditated, cold-blooded murder of civilians." http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=CUN20100531&articleId=19438

Everyone knows that as usual the USA will veto anything bad against Israel.
Typical Tories in UK and the 'anti-Israeli' coalition partners the Lib Dems had very little to say, smaller parties are always a let down in government, they should take a leaf from the likes of Tony Gregory.

I still can't talk about it without blowing a fuse. I swear, I'm going to look like Phil Mitchell that time when he burst a blood vessell in his eye.

I got word of this early on in the morning at GGI on Monday and it made me feel physically sick. It was a bit of a bummer to a great weekend for sure.

On the Vincent Browne show tonight there was a news piece and statement from a crew member who just arrived tonight. He said he was treated very badly. He got tasered at some point.... he put a big emphasis on the fact that a lot of the women were treated very badly too and had broken noses and other injuries etc. I heard from a friend of Fintan Lane (one of the irish lads that was detained) that he's in good condition apart from a few digs given to him when he was in interrogation apparently.

There are some very good Al Jazeera videos up here of the live action which happened on one of the aid ships: http://www.wsm.ie/c/protests-israeli-attack-gaza-flotilla


There's a vigil happening in Cork City every day this week on Patrick Street (outside the Moderne) to keep awareness and pressure on the issue going.
It's going to culminate in a big rally at Daunt Square at 1pm this Saturday so please come along if you're around.

Some facebook groups are here too, join them and show a bit of support sure (even if it is just Facebook...)

Odd to see much more interest on Moshspace and Metalireland than on here.

 

[GO]

Most of them weren't at GGI over the weekend.

This is disgusting but hardly surprising behaviour from Israel. Hopefully the international community will finally stand up to them and stop letting them away with murder. Dunno what else to say on the matter really.

There's a big rally taking place in Dublin this Saturday at 2pm at the Garen Of Remembrance off Parnell Street where the Flotilla deportees are going to be speaking

"IPSC Calls for huge mobilisition

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) has called a mass demonstration for 2pm this Saturday in Dublin at which the Freedom Flotilla deportees will speak. The demonstration will assemble at 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance and from there will march to the Department of Foreign Affairs on St. Stephen's Green.

Dr David Landy, Chairperson of the IPSC said: "We are calling on the Irish public, civil society and all political parties to support us in this demonstration that will welcome home the Irish heroes of the Freedom Flotilla who were kidnapped at sea in an act of Israeli piracy, while their comrades were murdered. It is vitally important that the Irish public come out on the streets and show their support and solidarity with the Freedom Flotilla and the besieged people of Gaza. We look forward to hearing the prisoners' stories of their experiences free of the spin of the Israeli PR machine."

Dr Landy continued: "We are also calling on the public to support the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel." Dr Landy went on to outline proposals that the IPSC was asking the Irish government to take:

(1) End its arms trade with Israel, e.g. the purchase of helmets and bullets from Israeli
firms
(2) Support the suspension of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement until Israel
complies with international law
(3) Ensure that the ‘silent upgrade’ of EU-Israeli relations is halted until Israel complies
with international law
(4) Work to reverse Israel's premature accession to the OECD
(5) Withdraw its ambassador from Tel Aviv as other countries have done, and expel the
Israeli ambassador to Ireland.
(6) Exercise pressure on Irish multinational CRH to divest from its Israeli subsidiary that is
engaged in building the Separation Wall deemed illegal by the International Court of
Justice in 2005

Some good news in that the Swedish Dockers Union are blockading Israeli ships and are refusing to handle any Israeli goods from June 15th to June 24th.
