IPSC: Irish Government Should Seek Safe Passage for MV Saoirse and Gaza Freedom Flotilla II

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Tuesday June 21, 2011 17:36author by IPSC - IPSC Report this post to the editors

Letter to Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore TD

Below is a letter sent by today – Tuesday 21st June – by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign to Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Eamon Gilmore TD, requesting that on behalf of the Irish State he demand safe passage for the Irish ship going to Gaza next week (the MV Saoirse) and for the whole of ‘Freedom Flotilla 2 – Stay Human.

The MV Saoirse
The MV Saoirse

Dear Minister Gilmore,

We are writing to you on behalf of the 25 Irish citizens who will be sailing to Gaza later this month on board the Irish ship MV Saoirse, as part of the Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human. Many of these brave people are members of our organisation, the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC).

We are aware that, in view of the threats issued against participants in the Flotilla by the Israelis, the Department of Foreign Affairs has advised Irish citizens against all travel to the Gaza Strip, including the waters off Gaza. However, we regard it as unacceptable that an Irish government should view the threat of violence against its citizens in international waters as an occasion for admonishing those citizens rather than the rogue state issuing the threat.

According to Monday’s “Irish Times” (27th June) the Labour Party now appears to be throwing its weight behind the Israeli regime and opposing the Freedom Flotilla

According to the article in the Times, Dublin Labour councillor Richard Humphreys has appealed to the passengers and crew of the MV Saoirse to stay at home.

The Labour councillor says that such flotillas should be discouraged, and blocked by UN member states, “as they may only provide a focus for violence.”

I figure its now time for Labour to do the decent thing and merge with the Blueshirts!

Cllr Humphrey's is a loiterer and a fool, what interests me here is that he (like the Greens before him) has learnt
that the Junior Coalition Party command an infinitely larger amount of press-toadies when they are in government.

This seems to intoxicate them to the point where they feel that *people actually listen to them*

RH must be pushing the mid-forties now and tired of the law library-shadows... the fact that he is a mouth-piece
for Enda Kenny's policies just points to how corrupt the Labour party have become, Quinn, Humphreys and Burton
really have shown themselves to be utter lackeys . (as did Mc Dowell and Gormley)

There can no longer be a pretence amongst the Labour Party that they represent anything more than a scion
of the centre-right, and I believe that voters won't have to be waiting too long in the long grass to make it clear
to them that unresolved rightists (for whatever reason) are nothing more than New Fine Gael.

the first man to jump to Humphrey's defence is a Fine Gaeler on Politics.ie :
