19 now reported dead. This is simply unbelievable, something has to be done. This is getting much better coverage on Al Jazeera on Sky (channel 514) than on the BBC.

Tidy that one up, as i put it together 2 days ago, and send it to all the e mails provided:

Dear TD,

as you are probably aware, 11 Irish citizens are currently on board 9 ships that are sailing towards Gaza with humanitarian supplies.
3 of these citizens are fellow TD's, and no doubt you will be as concerned for their safety, as you would for the other 750 passengers on board.

Israel has issued serious threats to these people and their safety is in grave danger. This is a matter of extreme urgency, and we are calling on you to add your voice to the millions of other voices worldwide who are taking these threats seriously.

I am calling on you to publicly show your support for not only the 11 Irish citizens on board, but for the 750 others travelling, along with 15,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid destined for the stricken region of Gaza.

Gaza has been under a brutal illegal siege for nearly 4 years now, and every day in Gaza, 1.7 million people go without the everyday necessities that you and I take for granted. How would you like to live in the worlds largest prison camp? How would you like to live under the fear of constant attacks? Can you sit idly by and allow this to continue?

In the past 10 years, Ireland's contribution to peace in the Middle East has been to allow US war planes to land and re fuel at Shannon Airport on their way to the killing fields in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is this the legacy you would like to leave for your children?

If you have any grasp of Irish history, you will understand what occupation and oppression is like. Therefore, instead of rewarding Israel with membership of the OECD, allowing them to go unpunished for stealing our passports, spending millions on their weapons, and turning a blind eye to their inhumane treatment of the Palestinians for over 60 years, I would expect you to stand up and be counted. What side are you really on? The side of the oppressor, or the side of the oppressed?

Recently, the Irish Foreign affairs minister travelled to Gaza for lunch. When he crossed into Gaza, he refused to meet members of the democratically elected Government. This refusal was taken as a sign of Ireland not recognising democracy. Is this what Ireland has now reduced itself to?

As these ships and brave passengers sail towards Gaza with humanitarian supplies, may I remind you of a story from 1847:

During the famine, a Choctaw Native American Tribe sent $710 to aid the starving Irish people. They did this at a time when the rest of the world stayed silent to our suffering. How would you feel if they had been stopped, denied a chance to deliver this aid, attacked, arrested and deported for this kind and generous act?

The time has come to take a stand, and say "Enough Is Enough". Your continued silence on the brutal treatment of the Palestinians shall be taken as a show of support for Israel and it's brutal actions.

Show some bravery, courage and guts please, and for the sake of humanity, stand up to Israel and say "End The Siege, Or Else"?

I await your reply, and as I have stated before, your silence is a show of support for the oppression of 1.7 million people in Gaza.

Awaiting your relply

The ships were in International waters. The Israeli line is that their soldiers acted in self defence, they were attacked with sharp objects.

They were reported to be in international waters. Israel have as much care for sea borders as they do for land borders.

Surely they have no right to board ships in international waters anyway?

They send assasins across international borders under false passports without a problem. I'd say they can do what they want in international water.

The lies and spin coming from the Israelis would remind you of the British reaction in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday.

Pity they couldn't have organised the Belfast rally for lunchtime or after work 5pm, could have maximised the numbers.
