Colm Byrne from Sallins is currently onboard The Global Sumud Flotilla travelling towards Gaza.
It is the second flotilla he has been apart of, after last years was intercepted by the Israeli Occupational Forces.
Accoridng to Amnesty International, the flotilla "is a powerful symbol of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring an ongoing genocide and an inhumane blockde now approaching its 19th year".
Speaking on Kildare Today, he outlined his reasons for joining the flotilla.
"Nothing has changed in Gaza, nothing has changed in Palestine, there's still innocent children and families, everyone is at risk there."
"There's no value to life, they don't care about them."
