Yesterday Wednesday 1st July around 100 Palestine solidarity activists gathered outside the GPO in Dublin to protest the kidnapping by Israel of 21 human rights activists from the Free Gaza Movement on Tuesday. Two of the abductees are Irish citizens, Nobel Laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire and Derek Graham, skipper of the Free Gaza boat ‘Spirit of Humanity’. The protesters, at the rally organised by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), were demanding the release of the abductees, the return of the confiscated humanitarian supplies, the release of the boat, a safe sea-passage to Gaza and that the brutal siege of Gaza be lifted. |

Not a word about this on RTE?
U.S. Department of State Middle East Digest 01 Jul 2009 briefing on the kidnapped passengers with the U.S. State Department
QUESTION: Erin Connors from Press TV. Former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and members of the Free Gaza Movement were intercepted by the Israeli army when they were on a humanitarian mission over there. What's being done about that? Are they on their way home? Will they be deported? What's the next step there, and will their supplies ever get to where they're going?
IAN KELLY: On that last question, I don't know the answer, actually. I think I have to refer you to the Government of Israel. We can confirm that the Israeli navy did arrest those on board this - the ship which is known as Spirit. We can't comment on any of the individuals or the number of individual American citizens on board because of Privacy Act concern.
