If you had heard shatter on the last word yesterday it would make you Puke. He should f**k off to Israel if he is not able to represent Irish citizens properly. Their ambassador should have been expelled when the Irish passports were robbed, he should definitely be booted out now. How ironic the victims of fascism are now one of the worlds finest proponents of it.

That's the saddest part of all of this.

What is the value of holding an Irish passport now? We, the citizens, have a contract with our government, the legal documentation of which is the passport, a document for which we pay €80, which requires them to require other governments to provide us with free passage into and through their territories. What is our government doing to take Israel to task for abducting Irish passport holders on the high seas and illegally transporting them to and imprisoning them in Israel?

The seven Irish human rights activists due home in Ireland this afternoon at 2:25 pm were were at the last minute prevented from boarding their flight out of Ben Gurion airport by Israeli armed guards. They had been taken last night to a holding cell and were ready to board their 7:40 am flight to London this morning when at the last minute they were prevented from doing so by Israeli security forces and returned to Givon prison. All seven are now being detained indefinitely, with no further news available from Israeli authorities or the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs about when they will be released.An Irish Ship to Gaza shore team coordinator spoke briefly on the phone with Fintan Lane before communication was abruptly cut off. Lane said: "This is a deliberate and calculated attempt by the Israelis to break our spirit. It won't succeed."
Lane also reported that the seven had been subject to "continuous harassment and repeated, humiliating body searches" and were shackled and "denied sleep".

Gay Lawlor, Zoe Lawlor's brother, spoke briefly with Zoe, who described what was happening as "sheer malice" on the part of the Israelis.

The families of the detainees are phoning member of the Irish Ship to Gaza shore team this morning in great distress.

Laurence Davis, Irish Ship to Gaza spokesperson, commented: "We are outraged by this latest attempt by the Israeli authorities to break the morale of the human rights activists, their families and their supporters, all of whom had been looking forward to the homecoming this afternoon in Dublin. This is yet another example of the cruelty and arrogance that the Palestinians face every day."

Irish Ship to Gaza spokesperson Claudia Saba added: "It is particularly distressing for the families to learn that their loved ones won't be coming home as they had expected, and distressing that they have no update as to what exactly is happening or when they will be finally freed."

IRISH TIMES REPORTERS

The remaining nine Irish citizens detained after they tried to breach Israel's naval blockade of Gaza over a week ago are due to return to Ireland today.Five of the 14 flew into Dublin airport late yesterday after earlier failing to make a British Airways flight they were scheduled to travel on.

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore said today he had some concerns around aspects of the activists' detention and said he would follow this up with the Israeli authorities once all 14 had returned to Ireland.

The Irish embassy in Tel Aviv yesterday lodged two "firm protests" with the Israeli authorities over the treatment of Irish activists who missed two planned flights due to what the Israelis claimed were security procedures.

The Israeli embassy claimed the airline took a decision not to allow all seven on board. "The reasons for this decision are unknown to us, and must be sought from British Airways," a statement from the embassy said.

A spokesman for British Airways, however, said the airline was due to carry only two deportees at the request of the Israeli authorities. He said those two arrived at the aircraft too late to make the flight.

Arrangements were then made for all seven to travel on a Lufthansa flight later yesterday afternoon.

Irish diplomats present at the airport, including Ambassador Breifne O'Reilly, made repeated requests to be allowed accompany the activists to the aircraft but these were declined by the Israeli authorities.
In the end, all but two of the seven activists, campaign co-ordinator Fintan Lane and university lecturer Zoe Lawlor, were allowed board the Lufthansa aircraft.

The Israeli embassy refused to provide an explanation for why Mr Lane and Ms Lawlor were prevented from boarding the flight, saying it could not refer to "the events which took place at Ben Gurion airport this afternoon because it has to do with security matters."
It also blamed the activists for their predicament.

"Since the whole \[flotilla] episode was a mere provocation, then it is obviously in the interest of the participants - and certainly not in the interest of Israel - to prolong it as much as they can," the embassy said in a statement.
"We can only express our earnest hope that these people leave Israeli soil as quickly as possible." The Irish Ship to Gaza campaign branded what transpired at the airport "bizarre and cruel" and Irish diplomats privately expressed frustration.
Mr Lane and Ms Lawlor eventually succeeded in boarding a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul yesterday evening and are expected home today.The remaining seven activists, including Socialist MEP Paul Murphy flew out of Israel on an El Al flight today.

That last comment really shows these bitter extremist Zionist cnuts live in a parallel universe.
Or is it Alice's wonderland.?
The Activists were captured on the high seas and detained in Israel against their will. They wanted to get out but weren't let by the Rogue State.

Intifada Palestine

By: Didi Remez

The Israel Project (TIP), an American Hasbara outfit, commissioned Republican political consultant Frank Luntz to examine the effectiveness of Israel's public diplomacy in the US on the Flotilla debacle. TIP gave the memo to the Prime Minister's Office, where someone promptly leaked it to Chico Menashe, Channel Ten TV News diplomatic affairs correspondent.

Luntz's findings are grim. Here's a summary:

1. 56% of Americans agree with the claim that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza;
2. 43% of Americans agree with the claim that people in Gaza are starving;
3. [Only] 34% of Americans support the Israeli operation against the Flotilla;
4. [Only] 20% of Americans "felt support" for Israel following announcement of easing of Gaza closure.

Menashe wraps:

The figures are troubling and worrisome. If that is the situation with our great friend the US, it is easy to imagine the situation in other, somewhat less sympathetic countries.

Frank Luntz analyses Netanyahu's media performance in the flotilla affair

The figures are troubling and worrisome. If that is the situation with our great friend the US, it is easy to imagine the situation in other, somewhat less sympathetic countries.

Channel Ten TV News, July 1 2010 20:38

Yaacov Eilon (host): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considered to make an extremely persuasive presentation in the world press. But a professional analysis by a US expert presented yesterday to his senior aides strongly criticizes him. Netanyahu's messages on the flotilla caused more harm than good. Our political correspondent Chico Menashe has obtained the report.

Chico Menashe: Criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu's current PR messages and Israeli PR in general comes from the international elite of media consultants and pollsters and from the mouth of Frank Luntz, considered one of the leading American political consultants, a Republican pollster, a consultant to many governments throughout the world and to dozens of the biggest corporations in the US. He was asked by the Jewish organization The Israel Project to check the opinions of the American public on the messages Israel issued to the world during and after the flotilla events. The result is a harsh document that primarily criticizes the media strategy of the person considered Israel's number one propagandist in the world, Prime Minister Netanyahu.
