Palestine's national team played its first European match in a generation against the Basque Country, in a sold-out San Mamés stadium.
While the Basque players walked onto the pitch with children by their side...
The Palestinian players carried white roses instead.
Roses for the children they can no longer hold.
Roses for the thousands of innocent lives stolen in Israel's genocide.
They didn't come for victory on the scoreboard.
They came to remind the world: Palestine still breathes. Palestine still fights.
Palestine is not alone.
In the heart of the Basque people who know what it means to resist nearly 50,000 voices roared in solidarity.
Football is never just a game when your people are being erased.
This is more than a match.
This is memory.
This is defiance.
This is humanity refusing to look away.
Free Palestine.
From the river to the sea.
What a day for the Grimley Clan! Niall and Liam win @maddenraparees 1st ever Armagh Senior Title while Ryan helps @LoughmacroryGAA to their 1st Tyrone Senior Title. Has to be 1st time thats happened?
Athletic Club Bilbao @AthleticClub showed its support for Palestine by hosting a group of Palestinian refugees from the Basque Country.
They received a powerful standing ovation from the entire San Mamés stadium — the first LaLiga team to officially pay tribute to Palestine.
Pep Guardiola has implicitly pointed out at the flotilla and Greta, shattering the complicit world into pieces.
And he is right in every word he said. “The next children killed will be ours.”
🗣️ "There should be a flotilla of Irish naval vessels.”
Liam Cunningham has said the Freedom Flotilla bound for Gaza is “doing the job we’re supposed to be doing”.
The flotilla left Italy on Sunday, carrying food, medical supplies and baby items.

And America will, at every opportunity, pretend to be the world's conscious! They proclaim to be leaders of the free world. The sooner the world turns their back on them the better!
'I hope we could do something with Gaza where they wouldn't want to go back.'
Donald Trump calls for a "beautiful area" where Palestinians can "resettle permanently" as he meets Netanyahu at the White House.

Remember Michael Martin and @SimonHarrisTD found it 'chilling' that Sinn Fein proposed (based on advocacy from the general public) an independent peer led review of RTE coverage of the war in Gaza. Headlines like this are ok with them..
Protestors in Kerry Ireland 🇮🇪:
‘In a year 17,000 children have been murdered in Gaza 🇵🇸 There are 17,000 children aged 0-9 in Kerry. Imagine the whole county without children’
