As the IDF committed genocide in Gaza Maccabi Tel Aviv staff serving in the IDF beamed back a video (and even fired a tank round for them) to the squad who cheered them on.
Jesus Christ......deeply disturbing stuff
#StopTheGame
You live on stolen land.
You drink stolen water.
You eat stolen fruit.
Then ask the owner of the land to believe you are “native.”
No.
Time does not wash theft clean.
Occupation does not become ancestry.
Israeli soldiers caught on vid raping Palestinian
Victim suffered ruptured intestine, severe injury to anus, lungs & broken ribs
Israelis rioted for right to rape, ministers defended rapist, 1 rapist became celebrity
All charges dropped
This isn't just Ben Gvir this is Israel
@RTE_PrimeTime Today’s targeted drone killing in Gaza brings to 262 journalists killed by Israel since 2023. And more civilians killed in Beirut today too. Pretending there’s a balanced view is cowardly. Both from the government and RTE.
#GazaGenocide
@IrishTimesOpEd@IrishTimes So what! Connolly and Larkin came from Britain and showed Irish workers how to organise. Because they came from an industrialised society whereas Ireland was being kept as Britain’s bread basket. The church also feared Marxism and William Martin Murphy was an Irish Catholic.
Francesca Albanese's latest report on the systematic, ubiquitous, soul crushing, permanent torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities, soldiers and settlers is one that we can only turn our eyes away from at the price of losing what is left of our souls. END THE GENOCIDE. NOW!
Disgraceful interview last night with the Iranian Ambassador- Designate on @RTE_PrimeTime So subservient to the Israeli and US point of view. No mention that the attack happened while the Iranians were in negotiations. Some might think the Irish Friends of Israel had a word.
@Independent_ie The Minister is either being disingenuous or ignorant. All members of the Israeli football team are either past or present members of the IDF. They represent a nation which is beyond the Pale, and allowing them to take part in competitions sportswashes the genocide.
@RichieSadlier very disappointed to see you back down over Joanna Byrne. Should we believe her or the owners over what was said to her? And why shouldn’t a member of the board criticise the FAI and UEFA when they’re so disconnected from reality? She has more balls than all of you
Hello, this is Yanis Varoufakis with a piece of news that would have been hilarious if it weren’t so scary. This morning, two policemen appeared on my doorstep to serve a summons ordering me to the police headquarters to be interrogated by the Greek DEA, our drug busting police department. Not as a witness, expert or not, but as the accused. Accused of what?
Shortly after New Year’s, I appeared on a podcast organised by young people to answer their questions on everything that concerns Gen Z today: social media, the meaning of life, their job prospects, what I call technofeudalism etc. At some point, they asked me if I had ever used drugs. Determined not to do a Bill Clinton (remember the laughable “I didn’t inhale”?), I said I had. Apart from pot, I told them, I had one experience of taking ecstasy in Sydney 36 years ago. It was pleasant, I danced for 16 hours effortlessly but then, I added, it gave me a migraine for a week – and so I never used again. That was my introduction to making the point that, however pleasant drug taking may seem, there is a price to pay. And that the ultimate price is dependence, addiction – “the end of liberty”, I said emphatically.
Do you see where this is going? Yes, the Greek police have opened an investigation of me under the charge of... aiding and abetting the narco-mafia. [Do me a favour folks: Please don’t tell Trump, OK?]
Seriously now, at a time of war, genocide, stupendous exploitation and so on, my little trouble with the inane Greek police is neither here nor there. But it is important. Here, in Europe, many people still live under the illusion that we have liberty, rationality and freedom. We don’t. Dark forces are at work, pushing us into a postmodern version of the Dark Ages.
So, beware, people! They are out to take away the last remnants of autonomy and freedom we have left. Resistance is, literally, existence.
Israel hasnt been suspended from the UN, other in'l fora, UEFA, FIFA, FIBA or cultural events. Genocide continues because it is normalised.
And then, just like that, accountability in the form of a European boycott begins. Eurovicious no more!

Been busy and wanted to consider the issue, but:
I despise mixing politics and sport -- or posting anything personal/non-stat related here -- but I'll make a rare exception. Going forward, there will be no further Bohemian FC or, for now, FAI Cup stats from this account. (1/2)
