All of these child footballers were murdered by #Israel since October 2023.
51 of 54 clubs in #Gaza wiped out.
The game should not go ahead anywhere. @UEFAcom should not be placing the @FAIreland in this position.
If #Russia are banned, why not #Israel?
#StopTheGame
Le immagini del ministro israeliano Ben Gvir sono inaccettabili. È inammissibile che questi manifestanti, fra cui molti cittadini italiani, vengano sottoposti a questo trattamento lesivo della dignità della persona.
Il Governo italiano sta immediatamente compiendo, ai più alti livelli istituzionali, tutti i passi necessari per ottenere la liberazione immediata dei cittadini italiani coinvolti.
L’Italia pretende inoltre le scuse per il trattamento riservato a questi manifestanti e per il totale disprezzo dimostrato nei confronti delle esplicite richieste del Governo italiano.
Per questi motivi, il Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale convocherà immediatamente l’ambasciatore israeliano per chiedere chiarimenti formali su quanto accaduto.
Irish Wheelchair Rugby were drawn against Israel in the European Championship that will take place on May 28. The Irish team plans to protest the match.
Team player Alan Dineen announced that he will boycott the game against Israel and made the following statement:
“I am boycotting the game against Israel because I cannot separate sport from the reality of what is happening in Gaza and Palestine. Through my fundraising work with Aclaí Palestine in the Aida Refugee Camp, I have seen first hand the impact that occupation and violence have on people’s daily lives. Gaza now has one of the highest numbers of child amputees per capita in the world, with thousands of children having lost one or more limbs.
I believe what is occurring constitutes genocide, as described by numerous human rights organisations and legal experts. Sport is a powerful platform that can create social change, and I believe athletes have a responsibility to take a stand when fundamental human rights are at stake.”
Absolutely shameful, Irish government approves a huge surge of exports to the Israeli military in the midst of its genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.
Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Forza Europeans!
Only 200,000 signatures needed to push EU institutions to suspend the indecent partnership agreement with Apartheid Israel. Bcs it is not OK to make business with a State that commits intl crimes on a daily basis.
Power to the People.
Together #weR1
EU citizens should sign this European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement (=free trade). This is a powerful constitutional tool, which at 1 mil signatures forces EU bodies to take action (see ⬇️). It's already at 750,000.

Fuel protest chaos in Ireland are a direct result of Israeli/US actions.
Yet our Govt wont enact the OTC bill, won't say boo to Trump, allows their war machine use Shannon & amplifies bogus "antisemitic reports" by discredited bodies.
Subservience to Israel will destroy Europe.
