Two nations with a credibility gap

WHY should an Iranian diplomat in Dublin condemn the Israeli attack on the Gaza aid flotilla? (Letters, June 4).

Both Iran and Turkey have accused Israel of state terror against the peace activists on the high seas.

From a Kurdish point I salute these brave activists, especially to Dr Fintan Lane who happens to be a friend of mine, and I sympathise with the Palestinian people facing oppression by the Israeli state.
