A woman whose mother was captured during the interception of the global sumud flotilla has called on the Government to impose sanctions on Israel. “I’m here as well to speak to the crowd about my mother, who was one of the participants on the flotilla. The protest came after 16 Irish citizens were among hundreds detained by Israel after it intercepted the global sumud flotilla, which was carrying aid to Gaza. The groups say the insurance firm had ties to companies that were enabling Israel’s war in Gaza. The GAA was accused of selling Irish culture and heritage, as the recent hosting of an NFL game at Croke Park was also criticised.
