For the first time in our club’s history a player from St Patrick’s Athletic will travel to the World Cup. We’re all behind Joseph Anang and Ghana in Canada, Mexico & the USA! 🇬🇭🧤
This is Khalifa from Gaza, he came to Ireland twice, played football, met the President, charmed us all. He was a Palestine National Youth Team player. He was 20 when he was murdered by Israel, one of the 421 football players they killed. He is why the FAI must not play Israel.
Paying a Sunday visit to a countryman.
Who dismissed his own work in the French Resistance as ‘boy-scout stuff’, wrote Godot in French so as to compose ‘without style’, and then insisted this gravestone in the cimetière du Montparnasse be ‘any colour, so long as it's grey’.
On tonight's show, we take a tour of Glasnevin Cemetery.
We’ll explore the history of the cemetery, the stories of some of the people buried here, and what this place reveals about this country's social and political history.
Tune in to RTÉ Radio One from 6PM.

Hi John, Irish Jew here, daughter of a German born Holocaust survivor and no, I have never experienced antisemitism here in Ireland. I'm very happy with our boycott of the Eurovision and Richie Sadler's comments re the football match. I'm extremely proud of my fellow Irish and their stand against genocide. As my late mother taught me.."Never again means never again..to anyone ..anywhere... ever.." I hope this clarifies the issue for you.
The RTE wing of Irish Sports for Palestine in full flight in RTE NUJ political broadcast
In their world Hamas, Hezbollah nor Iran, are all dedicated to Israel’s destruction, October Oct 7, the slaughter in Israel of 1,200, rape & mutilation of Israelis & hostage abductions didn’t happen.
In their world 378 young people, including Kim Damti , weren’t murdered at Nova.
In their world Hamas hasn’t repetitively promised to repeat Oct 7 nor in its aftermath fired thousands of missiles for 2 years at Israeli civilians.
In their world Israeli hostages weren’t raped, sexually assaulted, tortured, starved & murdered.
In their world Hezbollah hasn’t since Oct 7 continued to fire missiles at Israel & violated all cease fires it entered into.
In their world Hamas tunnels never existed underneath civilian infrastructure containing armaments, concealing Hamas terrorists & imprisoning hostages.
In their world Hamas didn’t deny civilians shelter in the tunnels it constructed deliberately leaving them at risk when launching missiles from & hiding in civilian locations.
In their world Hamas doesn’t celebrate the “martyrdom “of those it deliberately put in harms way
In their world the UNSC adopted peace plan for Gaza doesn’t exist & Hamas’s refusal to facilitate its implementation & disarm isn’t a problem.
In their world Israel should surrender to those who attack it & permit the slaughter, rape & torture of its entire population.
RTE Sport now openly advocating the sabotaging of our international football team as the next big thing after RTE’s irrelevant self harming boycott of Eurovision, with the complicity of cowardly sports ministers trying to escape the wrath of the mob. More gesture politics of total irrelevance to conflict resolution in the Middle East. It’s only objective- to spread hate.
Stop The Game and Show Israel the Red Card! ❌ @FAIreland@IrelandFootball boycott and refuse to play against genocidal Israel. Playing the match in a neutral venue is totally unacceptable. #stopthegame@FansAgainstIsrl
I can’t envisage a similar conversation held after a football match in England.
Open and frank and understanding of what Israel are doing in the world, and the objections clearly spoken.
I do agree with every word.

Breaking: A lot happening around this but I understand the FAI board will meet Tuesday with a single item on the agenda - moving the game against Israel on October 4 out of Dublin to a neutral venue.
