The Government has reiterated its condemnation of the detention by Israel of an aid flotilla with at least ten Irish citizens onboard.

The Coalition is calling on the Israeli authorities to uphold their obligations under international law.

Dr. Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among those on board. […]

The Global Sumud Flotilla said earlier it had lost contact with the intercepted boats.

After being pals with Hitler, Ireland has no room to say anything about this.

These flotillas are nothing more than attention whores. There are better ways to get aid to the citizens of Gaza, who are not part of Hamass.

Israel has yet to treat any flotilla whore poorly, despite them being very clear aid flotillas will not be allowed. Yet libtards keep doing them.

Israel should have leveled Gaza. The people there choose Hamass..... and Hamass should be exterminated.

I’m sure there was no contraband in that shipment.

Why are the Irish so antiemetic and what did the Jews ever do to them? Same thing with black Americans... They're another bunch of Jew haters... The next thing you know and these racist Irish will be banning wolfhounds.

I should hope they’re antiemetic, unless they just like puking.

As you probably know, Ireland offered Nazi Germany its condolences a few days after Hitler shot himself.

And this was after the death camps were liberated. People knew.

Yet the condolences went out. I guess the Irish hated Britain so much that:
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

I thought a sovereign country is not allowed to intercept boats near their coast?

Perhaps the Irish can take in the Gazans and aid them.

Ireland is already importing large numbers of Muslims. I guess the Irish leadership missed the news about what’s going on in the no-go parts of Paris and elsewhere.

Or maybe they just don’t care.

Thankfully, we got all the productive Irish decades ago. (Except for the slimeball run-runner Ambassador Kennedy). As for present Irelend, they really, really deserve to be taken over by Islam so then can get an early sample of what hell is like.

Parts of Dublin and Cork are already turning that way.

Of course it did.

For some people, nothing Israel does is good enough.

Just like leftists and President Trump.
