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”.

What did they expect when they attempted to break an Israeli blockade of Gaza, a f’ing tickertape parade through downtown Tel Aviv? Play stupid games, win, stupid prizes.
No; they lied about receiving such treatment.
To me, they were treated quite well. They’re alive, aren’t they?
They were forced to take showers. Atrocity!!
next time send them to the Davey’s Locker and we won’t have to listen to their lies and pathetic whines anymore
what losers!
