There’s a growing list of the virtuous class in Ireland who think we shouldn’t play soccer against Israel.
But that same group think it’s ok that Ireland are going to play cricket against Afghanistan.
The virtuous Irish are of course in no way antisemitic.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
A 35 year old muslim man who shouldn't have been here. Robbed two children aged 5 and 9 of their mother. Stole not only her life, but filled her last moments with terror, worrying about what he might do to her children when finished with her. He Stabbed in the neck...many times. Do people understand what that is code for in the media? She wasn't wearing a hijab in her photos. She wanted a better life. She tried. She tried for her children. She did all she could to escape him. She called the Gardaí. He was moved on to some unsuspecting town. But killed her anyway. In an "HONOUR KILLING". That's what it was. You won't hear Umar Al Qadri say that.
Ireland has just played Qatar
Nothing
Played against England, Iran and Germany
Nothing
Played against Japan in rugby
Nothing
Played against China in the Davis Cup
Nothing
Played Pakistan in cricket
Nothing
And due to play Afghanistan in August and guess what?
That’s right, there’ll be Nothing said for this match either
Dear politics, stay the fuck out of sport because you are about as sincere as an Irish government saying the USC is going to be a temporary tax on the people of Ireland
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
Israelophobia is rotting Ireland’s soul. The cultural elites have been completely conquered by the Euro-malady of anti-Zionism. They spend more time raging against the Jewish nation than they do fixing the Irish nation. It’s madness, says Brendan O’Neill

Delighted to see more and more opinions like this. Paddystinians have had the floor for way too long, people are finally seeing the hypocrisy in their sham of a movement
@ConorHogarty@EamonMelia It's amazing how the Pally Flag Wavers understand thousands of years of complicated Middle Eastern History, but can't understand that Military Neutrality is a government decision in Ireland
The claim of genocide in Gaza is never challenged in the Irish media, so people don't check facts and just parrott what they hear. There has been no finding of genocide in any court.
Young people of Ireland hoping to acquire a home anytime soon, take note.
This is your government's main opposition party.
Obsessed with the middle east. 🙄
@AnMailleach Absolutely untrue.
The only thing we seem to be concerned about here is Israel. The mere existence of that state sends many here into a frenzy of rage and anger. They couldn't care less about any other country. It's only Israel. It has only ever been Israel.
@AnMailleach Our participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is gone and what good has it done. Are we now to punish our soccer players and turn them into non-participants?
Irish politicians are without doubt the worlds super power at performative hypocrisy & moral grandstanding. The occupied territories bill (€200k of trade )is laughable. Why not show some real intent & ban the chips from Intel’s Israeli plants that feed Ireland’s major Intel facility in Leixlip for tech/pharma supply chains. See how that plays out with the multi nationals that provide 11% of Irish jobs .
I accept I live in somewhat of a bubble , but I’ve never heard Holly Cairns being “celebrated” . It’s more likely the other leaders are so unpopular that by default she’s “popular”.
There is no better evidence of the Cultural Dictatorship that exists in this country than the fact that Gaza continues to be the most enduring news story of the last 12 months. This simply isn't happening anywhere else in the world.
Great point made by Teresa Trainor in today’s @Independent_ie about the bizarre priorities of Ireland’s political class.
The same applies to the Irish media of course which ignores issues like unsustainable immigration (especially from alien misogynistic cultures), the Trans cult etc in favour of bashing Israel.
Ireland stopped their match against Qatar twice to protest Israel by throwing tennis balls. Qatar criminalizes being gay and built a World Cup on migrant labor.
Nobody threw anything at them.
