But there’s not really any politcs in this. A ship (with or without
aid, with or without weapons) is floating in international waters and the
Israelis storm it and shoot nine people dead. The surprise is that they
didn’t use forged Irish passports while they went about it.
It says on Wikipedia that the “Orphan” clause was dropped before the bill was made law and I’ve
no reason to doubt it. Has anyone read the final statute? Andy?
If you heard someone saying he was bringing a petrol bomb
you should have photographed him and given the picture to the
polis. People like that are safer in prison (as was proved in Greece
last week). I wonder if you should report it anyway because if you
know a crime is going to be committed you should try to prevent
it.
