FROM GALWAY TO GAZA...


Delighted to read that Egypt is not prepared to take any nonsense from an Irishwoman who was found sneaking into Hamas controlled Gaza. Treasa Ni Cheannabhain, her daughter and an Egyptian niece were allowed back into Egypt on Thursday but she was immediately taken in for questioning.


On Saturday, she said she was given a choice by the Egyptian authorities - to come before a military court, or to return to Gaza indefinitely. She has chosen to face the court (!) rather than spend more time with her dear Hamas buddies. She crossed over into Gaza illegally from Egypt last Saturday after being refused legal entry by Egyptian authorities. On Sunday, Egyptian forces resealed the Gaza border, nearly two weeks after its Israeli-built barriers had been blown apart by (sic) militants. Egyptian border officials refused them re-entry, even though Ms Ni Cheannabhain is married to an Egyptian citizen. They had been distributing money to Palestinians collected by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign.


Just a few questions. Hamas openly seek the destruction of Israel and engage in continual acts of terror. Yet the BBC report merely indicates that Ms Cheannabhain wanted to dispense "charity aid" amongst the Hamas supporting population of Gaza. To my mind, it is clear to any sensible person what Hamas are, and therefore when we read about this Irishwoman breaking the law in order to get money from Galway to Gaza, is it not reasonable to ask if she is not merely one more fool who seeks to give financial support to the anti-Semites that occupy Gaza? The Irish Government should disown her as her actions bring shame all the way from Gaza back to Galway.
