“That this mission has to exist is a shame!” she added, urging the world to act to prevent Israel’s “genocide” of the Palestinians.

Ten sent to Slovakia
The Greek foreign ministry had earlier said a “special repatriation flight landed safely in Athens” with the 27 Greeks who set sail with the flotilla.
“This flight also facilitated the return of 134 nationals from 15 European countries,” it added.
Israel’s foreign ministry said on Monday (local time) it had deported 171 activists to Greece and Slovakia.
Bratislava’s foreign ministry confirmed that one Slovak had returned to the central European country, along with nine other people, originally from the Netherlands, Canada or the United States.
The Global Sumud flotilla departed from Barcelona in Spain in early September.
The vessels were boarded by the Israeli navy off Egypt and the Gaza Strip between October 1 and 3.
Israel – which accuses the flotilla of being an offshoot of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement with which it is at war in the Gaza Strip – claims that the boats violated a prohibited zone and that little humanitarian aid was found on board the vessels.
The ships were forcibly diverted to the Israeli port of Ashdod. According to Israeli police, more than 470 people aboard the flotilla boats were arrested.
The first deportations began on October 2. Currently, 138 flotilla participants remain in detention in Israel, the foreign ministry told AFP.
