Irish flotilla activists say they were victims of ‘petty and extreme cruelties’ in Israel
Irish Times ^ | Tue Oct 07 2025 - 06:37 | Jack White

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. …

No, this sounds like they received fairly typical psychological techniqes used to break the mental defenses of prisoners - denial of sanitary items, quality food, sensory deprivation, etc.

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

“filthy” tap water eh? I wonder what quality of water they expected to drink in Gaza???

https://tapwaterworldwide.com/israel/
“Yes, you can safely drink the tap water in Israel without any special precautions.

Israel has a modern water infrastructure supported by advanced purification and desalination technologies. Tap water is regularly tested and trusted by residents and visitors alike.”

Waaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

You got on the boat to commit a hostile action.
You get what you get.
Did they rape you? Burn you alive? Cut your throat? Hmmmm?

No - you were released to whine to the press.

Right. They weren’t shoved into an airless, dirty and dark tunnel while bound and gagged.

Gee, maybe the Israelis are trying to deter you from repeating that stunt?

It’s a shame the idf saved their lives instead of sinking them

Israel protects or rescues far too many of her enemies

Do Hamas-supporting activists tell the truth? I doubt it.

The Israeli government should have transferred all the “activists” straight to Gaza and let them become local heroes while they would endure rape, torture, mutilation, burning, beatings, beheading and starvation much like the Israeli Jews endured on the 7th of October 2023.

It is their "stock in trade."

What diabetic, in their right mind, would take a cruise to a war zone against all norms and complain about insulin ?

This was their plan from the start. They knew the IDF wouldn’t allow them in. Political/childish stunts are a core of the Lefty mind.

Nah, the Irish are even MORE Anti-Semitic than upper-class Brits. For the kind of Irish that have heavily supported Palestinian terrorists for decades, it would “petty and extreme cruelty” just to force them to be in close proximity with t3h j00000z for any length of time, period. X.x

This will blow up in their faces if the Israelis have video evidence to counter their claims which, given the high profile of the situation, they should have since they have video of almost everything else as well.
