Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent)

The human rights organisations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have called on Israel to launch a thorough and independent inquiry into the killings of the protestors. The Middle East director for Human Rights Watch, Sarah Lee Whitson, stated: "In a too-familiar pattern, Israeli troops responded to stone-throwing youths with live bullets, with predictably deadly consequences... The evidence shows a disturbing disregard for protesters' lives." There is nothing unusual about protests being organised. Protests are regularly organised and advertised in Dublin.
