Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário drops a bombshell:
'What is happening in Gaza is not a war... it is a systematic extermination of a people trapped in a cage.'
'The silence of the world is frightening... and staying silent about this brutality is a moral failure.'
'I will not be silent... I will never be silent. I stand with Gaza.' 🔥🇧🇷🇵🇸"
Whatever your view about Robbie Keane becoming Celtic manager, this backlash against him sets a dangerous precedent.
Other than managing a racist and fascist club during a genocide, he did absolutely nothing wrong.
You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.
@marl60040@WBCBoxing In your dreams, Pele played with a 50s, 60, and 70s ball on pitches light years away from today's surfaces and how many World Cup medals does CR7 have?
Since the babykillers upped their hasbara budget to 0.75 billion, and obviously read good ol' free speech absolutist @elonmusk the riot act, I've lost thousands of followers and my reach has collapsed. Only the weak and beaten have to silence all dissent. We're winning 🇵🇸👊
@Joeby52@INoodlehill No respect for other languages, this is the precise attitude that made Dubh Linn (black pool) become Dublin (no meaning). Lots of other examples of Anglicisation of Irish names/place names. Couldn't be bothered to find meaning just went with sounds like.
Israel has wiped out 39 villages in South Lebanon and destroyed 40,000 homes.
39 centuries-old historic villages entirely erased from the map. In just 60 days.
This is ethnic cleansing.
This is terrorism.
And not a peep from the complicit “international community”, of course.
Hola John, irlandesa judía aquí, hija de una superviviente del Holocausto nacida en Alemania y no, nunca he experimentado antisemitismo aquí en Irlanda. Estoy muy contenta con nuestro boicot a Eurovisión y los comentarios de Richie Sadler sobre el partido de fútbol. Estoy extremadamente orgullosa de mis compatriotas irlandeses y su postura contra el genocidio. Como me enseñó mi difunta madre: "Nunca más significa nunca más... para nadie... en ningún lugar... jamás". Espero que esto aclare el asunto para ti.
@ahmetgemici2990 They show the world over and over and over again who and what they are and yet they have not been called to account or sanctioned, but enabled and supported by western government's and sporting and social organisations. Support our President, STOP THE GAME.
"Bridger Walker is the boy who saved his younger sister from a vicious dog attack...
He received ninety stitches throughout his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death.
"If someone was going to die, it must be me, I'm the older brother."
The World Boxing Council (WBC) recognized him as a World Heavyweight Champion for a day!
It will remain in the official historical record of the WBC.
For that one day, he was the best fighter in the world."
You don’t get to be racist and Irish.
You don’t get to be proud of your heritage,
Plights and fights for freedom,
While kneeling on the neck of another.
You’re not entitled to sing songs
Of heroes and martyrs,
Mothers and fathers who cried
As they starved in a famine.
Or of brave-hearted,
Soft-spoken
Poets and artists,
Lined up in a yard,
Blindfolded and bound,
Waiting for Godot,
And point-blank to sound.
We emigrated.
We immigrated.
We took refuge,
So cannot refuse
When it’s our time
To return the favour.
Land stolen,
Spirits broken,
Bodies crushed and swollen,
Unholy tokens of Christ,
Nailed to a tree,
That you hang around your neck
Like a noose of the free.
Our colour pasty,
Our accents thick,
Hands like shovels
From mortar and brick,
Laying foundations of cities
You now stand upon.
Our suffering seeps from every stone
Your opportunities arise from,
Outstanding on the shoulders
Of our forefathers and foremothers
Who bore your mother’s mother.
Our music is for the righteous.
Our joys have been earned,
Well deserved and serve
To remind us to remember:
More Blacks.
More Dogs.
More Irish.
Still labelled leprechauns, Micks, Paddies, louts
We’re shouting to tell you:
Our land, our laws
Are progressively out there.
We’re in a chrysalis,
State of emerging
Into a new and more beautiful Éire.
40 Shades Better.
Unanimous in our rainbow vote,
We’ve found our stereotypical pot of gold,
And my God, it’s good.
So join us…
’Cause you don’t get to be racist and Irish.
