As I said to the Taoiseach earlier on, I am getting reports from the flotilla organisers that Israel is shooting rubber bullets at boats that have Irish citizens on them, who have not yet been kidnapped by this rogue regime. There would be uproar if Russia kidnapped people on the open seas, for example. There were sanctions immediately when it invaded Ukraine. There would be outrage. The Government has not imposed a single sanction on the State of Israel despite, genocide, apartheid and now the seizure, again, of Irish citizens. This is a regime that tortures people, according to the UN special rapporteur and widespread reports. There are grave concerns for our citizens. What crime does Israel have to commit before we will impose sanctions? Why is the Government going to vote against the sanctions Bill tomorrow night when the flotilla organisers, and I would say the majority of people in this country, are saying we should impose sanctions on this state for the crimes it has committed?
