      Ben Givr does this a lot. Doing a hard man walk in front of a bunch of activists who are handcuffed and surrounded by soldiers with huge weapons.

      A perfect encapsulation of Israeli “strength” tbh. Flexing your muscle over tiny handcuffed women and filming it, not realising how it looks to the entire rest of the planet.

      The very very least we can do as a people is prevent a football match against these people’s country go ahead .

      Genuine question; Besides strongly condemning in a statement, what could we actually ask the government to do about this situation?

      I don’t see it mentioned in the article, but the woman being pulled down by the hair looks like one of the Irish flotilla members, Catriona Graham.

      Every journalist in the country should be shoving a microphone in the Taoiseach’s face about this. There’s being neutral, then there’s flat-out abandoning your citizens.

      The minister and their sound bites, don’t instill and confidence at all

      The minister will do a little soundbite about it as a box-ticking exercise, but there’s no way she (or Simon, or Micheál etc.) will vote for legitimate sanctions against the genocidal state. Spineless.

      8 years they’ve delayed the occupied territories bill and still nothing. Nobody cares for their statements, there must be action against Israel.

      `Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised Mr Ben-Gvir over his handling of the detained activists`

      `”The way minister Ben-Gvir dealt with the flotilla activists is not in line with Israel’s values and norms.”`

      He’s right there, because they are all still alive and no one was raped.

      Alan shatter has some neck condemning this while simultaneously using his influence to enable Israeli actions that lead directly to stuff like this.

      Was watching Mikey Cullen’s livestream from the flotilla as it was intercepted yesterday.

      Pretty scary stuff to watch them open fire with rubber bullets at a sail boat full of unarmed men and women.
      Also demanding all phones to be thrown overboard.

      The fact they can do this off the coast of Cyprus where they have zero jurisdiction is insane.
