Nobel peace laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire has accused Israel of committing “slow genocide” against the Palestinian people after being forcefully prevented from delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. “Gaza has been cut off from the world for over three years. The people of Gaza don’t have enough basic things for their needs,” 66-year old Maguire said after being deported by Israel with four other Irish activists aboard the MV Rachel Corrie. “It’s Israeli policies that are causing this – there is a slow genocide of the Palestinian people,” she said at a press conference. She also accused Israel of “carrying out a policy of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians” before being deported after spending a week in an Israeli prison when previously accompanying an intercepted small ferry carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
