From Ireland To Palestine: Tom McCune
In this powerful episode of From Ireland to Palestine, we sit down with Tom McCune, an Irish activist and recent participant in the Global Samud Flotilla—a civilian-led mission aimed at breaking the siege and bringing international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Tom offers a vivid account of the flotilla’s journey and the moment it was intercepted by Israeli forces, after which he and other participants were detained. He speaks about the conditions they faced, the testimonies shared among the crew, and the wider context of human-rights violations that activists and international organisations have long raised concerns about.
He also reflects on the deep history of Irish–Palestinian solidarity, the global network of people who continue to stand with Palestine through direct action, and what this experience taught him about resistance, courage, and the power of collective struggle.
This conversation is raw, human, and deeply grounded in lived experience—an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand today’s grassroots movements and the enduring fight for justice.
