Irish Aid Activist Detained After Boat Seized in International Waters

We're sat down in baking, son. Cable ties behind her back. If you lift your head to offer any solidarity to the comrade, a head who's getting physically and mentally abused, your head is slapped back down on the ground. And I'm just sitting there going, I've tried to bring baby formula to Gaza. How could you be treating an Irish citizen like this like we end up a couple of days later in a prison cell with one of our delegates, he's 75 year old man, the most gentle man you'd ever meet in your life, Paddy Kelly, just simply asking for his insulin. They won't give him his insulin, we're concerned that he's gonna die. And so there's a borderline riot in our wing of the prison, eventually instead of a doctor coming along, they just bring in a SWAT team to try and restrain the protests. And I, of course, the guard said, we don't have any doctors for animals. So that's how they view us, like they view us as animals. That was a comment that it caused terrorist animals, they spat in Diego, he's one of the leaders of the movement, they spat in his face. And like, I just kept thinking to myself, we're two things, one, if they're doing this to people, like me, with the passport I have, imagine what they're doing to Palestinians and there's no repercussions for it at all, and there's no diplomatic pressure on them to start doing it at all. And secondly, how on earth does the world, again, allow this country to operate like this? Like imagine if the Iranian regime or the Russian regime treated a 75-year-old Irish man like that, there would be widespread outrage and rightly so, but somehow this Israeli exceptionalism, even two years into a genocide still persists.
