Irish activists who arrived to Ireland late on Monday night have said they were treated with “petty and extreme cruelties” by Israeli authorities and endured “really unpleasant” conditions while they were detained.

Sarah Clancy, Thomas McCune and Donna Schwarz were the first to arrive to Ireland after being detained alongside 13 other Irish citizens following the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla last week. […]

“For example, Greta Thunberg was made to kneel beside an Israeli flag while people marched around her, taking her photo,” she said.

They were subsequently brought to Ktzi’ot Prison, she said, where they were subject to “petty and extreme cruelties”.

“Those which happened to us can only be a fraction of what happens to the people usually incarcerated there,” she said.

She said men and women were detained in separate areas, adding that her group of women had no access to mattresses, toilet paper or sanitary towels.

She said she could see these items “at the end of the corridor”, but “they just wouldn’t give them to us”.

The group also had no access to clean drinking water, she said, with those detained resorting to drinking “filthy” tap water.

“We didn’t receive food at all until the evening of the second day that we were there. The food that we did receive was absolutely awful,” she said.

The activists were also awoken on several occasions “for no reason during the night”, she said.

“I do feel outraged at the absolute criminal impunity with which they’re being allowed to act,” she said.

Thomas McCune, meanwhile, said some activists detained were denied medication such as insulin for diabetes. …

Imagine that, a group of privileged and pampered self-righteous celebrity activists didn’t like the PRISON they were in. What did they expect, a star hotel? One thing is certain, their treatment was better than in an Arab prison.

I don’t think many of them are intelligent enough to know what self preservation is. Usually when humans have a dangerous, possibly life threatening situation, they have the intellectual fortitude to learn from it and don’t repeat it.

These people, not so much.

Source: volunteered for an animal rescue 20-30 yrs ago where most were unwashed hippies, hopeless angry lesbians and violent democrats with ZERO vision about THEIR future. They live in the here and now and all had ‘sponsors’ who subsidized them.

They should have dumped about 300 gallons of chum around the boat, waited an hour and then sank the boat. . End of problem.

Imho ….. the hating of Israel and the United States is because God blessings were bestowed upon Israel and the United States.

How is this different from a trip to Disneyworld?
These poor snowflakes forgot the basic rule of life:
“You gotta be tough, to be dumb”

I would have made them watch the October 7th video, over and over again, and then share the survivor’s testimony.

Even if it’s true (and who knows if it’s true) it’s nothing to what Hamas does. So, moving on, what have we learned? Stay home, tourista.

Now let’s hear the stories about how cruel it was to be on the boat with Greta. How bad must it get to throw her off the boat?

“I do feel outraged at the absolute criminal impunity with which they’re being allowed to act,” she said.

Too bad the Israelis didn't let her through to join with Hamas..... then she would really experience some criminal impunity.

If those libiots had been allowed to land in Gaza, hamas would have treated them as “ honored guests” ….held hostage as human shields while being used to make propo videos.

Crybabies break bad but then throw tantrums and start sobbing when they get their butts kicked.

I’m no expert in this, but that’s what it looks like to me.

Busted criminals always yell about police brutality, watch our own antifa videos when they get busted.
