He also claimed the boat was ‘full of Hamas enablers’.
Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson Lee Casey stated;
‘The comments made by David Vance and other local Israeli apologists cannot hide the fact that the Israeli Military boarded a ship, in international waters, carrying humanitarian aid and killed nine voluntary aid workers. These comments are made all the more offensive when you consider the objective of the aid flotilla; to deliver basic aid supplies to the people of Gaza who are being kept in deliberate abject poverty and are routinely oppressed by the state of Israel. Would Mr Vance advocate military intervention for aid flotillas bringing aid to the people of Haiti or Darfur?’
He continued;
‘Mr Vance is also inaccurate in claiming that the boat was ‘full of Hamas enablers’ as it included on board a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a former Assistant Secretary General of the UN’
‘Mr Vance should re-think his inaccurate and offensive views but then again this is to be expected from a member of a party which revels in and celebrates military oppression, be it at the hands of the British or Israeli forces.’
