Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among a number of Irish citizens who were detained by Israeli forces after a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in the Mediterranean this morning, organisers have said

Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group.
There's a reason nobody has ever done this.
It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.
BREAKING: Israel has dropped a new type of bomb in Gaza.
Palestinians claim it’s a “mini nuke,” but analysis suggests it is likely a thermobaric (vacuum) weapon.
Thermobaric bombs detonate by dispersing a fuel–air mixture, producing a high-pressure shockwave and intense heat. This can collapse structures and cause blast effects similar to a nuclear detonation in terms of overpressure, but it is not a nuclear weapon.
Sickening from our Taoiseach.
No mention of the thousands of Palestinian hostages.
No mention of their proven torture and with 74 of them murdered in Israeli jails.
No mention of the fact they have no homes to return to.
This is not representative of the Irish people.
A member of the Oireachtas has been kidnapped by a genocidal foreign state and the Taoiseach has nothing to say about it.
Two of the candidates for the Irish Presidency are also presumably unconcerned.
Their silence speaks volumes.
Israeli war bonds will no longer be sold in Ireland.
This has been stopped by the hard work of campaigners. I commend you all.
It shows what people can acheive even without the support of their government.
The genocide in Gaza won't stop until Israel face real sanctions for their crimes.
We won't stop until that happens.
