I totally endorse the views of this Irish Labour Party MEP who has just returned from Gaza. As a candidate for the European Parliament I regard it as essential that Europe does not play second fiddle to the US in relation to Israel and Palestine but takes a proactive stance to ensure justice for Gaza and the Palestinians. It is Europe which created the problem in the first place and it has a responsibility to act.
I also give my total support to the Viva Palestina convoy which is making its way towards Gaza with much needed supplies and a generator on board. It is disgraceful that the police here arrested several of those taking part in the convoy but have released most of them without charge afterwards. This is in stark contrast with the city council in Bordeaux which provided food and shelter for those taking part and a state reception being planned in Madrid.
