We welcome any GAA clothing to aid the refugees in Palestine and Gaza. This is not just to cloth the refugees, but also to again highlight the mistreatment of Palestinian people under occupation and shows solidarity from the Irish people.

Nára lag Dia sibh. Israel is out of control. I am reading a book by an Israeli lady called Palestine in Israeli schoolbooks, about how Israeli kids are indoctrinated to think about Palestinians from an early age. It is such a mess and also a tragedy for Jewish people who don't get a proper education.

Glen be the closest club to me doing this, what way do you donate Jersies, found a few Wexford, Clare and 1 or 2 others that are in very good condition but dont fit anymore, so can pass them on
Title: Re: GAA Jerseys for Palestine
Post by: theticklemister on December 10, 2016, 07:46:25 PM
alright wild weasel. Check the glen facebook/twitter and see what day they are collecting. I think they may be stopped at present as they have been doing it for last number of weeks; but double check. If not you can post them. DM if you provide the latter.

If you can, can you provide a picture of yourself holding the jerseys too. If you don't want to identify 'wildweasel74' hen stick a balaclava over your head for the picture whilst holding the GAA jerseys................ on second thoughts scrap that!lol

Second time which I sent articles with pictures into hoganstand.com for this campaign.

Yet again no posting on site or reply. I even posted on their forum but they have failed to let it register.

I have sent numerous other articles into site over years and they have posted them, without a reply or thanks.

I am a freelance journalist myself and they are not well-liked as they poach a lot of stories amongst news reporters

Good on Hoganstand if they refuse to align with or promote a campaign which seeks to highlight a non-existent "occupation" while ignoring the Islamist Hamas regime's gross mistreatment of its own people in Gaza.

What do you call the Israeli military presence in the West Bank ?

The West Bank has been disputed territory for centuries. Prior to the 1967 Six-Day War, it was part of Jordan. Today the West Bank (and also Gaza) has higher life expectancy than Jordan, Syria, Egypt or Iraq so the theory that Israel's presence there is a somehow unique oppression of its inhabitants doesn't hold water.

Every single settlement is illegal under international law. The West Bank is no more disputed than Co Offaly is.

Even if you accept that, which I don't, the life expectancy figures and other statistics belie the anti-Semitic charge that Israel mistreats the West Bank population.

Only heard about this recently. A great idea and hope it goes well

Dug out about 30 old jerseys yesterday. A fella from our club is arranging to get these collected and a few other people have got involved too. Hopefully word gets around and more people donate.

I've also asked a few contacts I have in clubs in the newry area so if anything comes of that I'll take them up home with me and get them passed on too

Since October 2016 we have been collecting GAA Jerseys for Palestine and hundreds of you out there rallied to the call. Some shared our news, some printed our news, some of you donated, some of you collected......... everyone here at GAA Jerseys for Palestine time would like to say a huge GO RAIBH MAITH AGAIBH. We would have nothing if not for you and your generous deeds, we have collected 3,800 jerseys in total. 3,200 in Derry and 600 in Liverpool.

Unfortunately, we have had no way of getting the jerseys to Palestine, subsequently we will be sending them to Syria. I know some of you will be disappointed, however, they will still be going to people in need. There are nearly 5 million refugees which have fled Syria due to the conflict, and I am sure they will be grateful of this impressive haul. Aidan Crawford of St.Vincent de Paul, who is helping us stated

"These items will go to Aleppo with other aid including medical aid. The Saint Vincent de Paul in partnership with Syria Aid, are the shippers and we have contacts in Syria mainly doctors. We have already sent twenty 40ft containers of aid to Greece, France, Syria (Aleppo) and Yemen. We are trying to get aid into Somali and South Sudan. SVP have sent many containers we also have worked on the ground in many Refugee camps."

If you have any Jerseys that still need to be collected, please let us know ASAP. We will send pictures of the jerseys being transported via SVP.

You gathered jerseys for Palestine and now they are being sent to Syria. They can only be got into Syria with the agreement of the murderous dictator Assad. How do you know they will get to deserving people at all. Will they be distributed only to pro Assad Syrians. You are roping in the SVP who could answer a few questions about their funds.

They are going to Syria as well as Greece for the people who are fleeing the war.

There are nearly 5 million refugees which have fled Syria due to the conflict, and I am sure they will be grateful of this impressive haul. Aidan Crawford of St.Vincent de Paul, who is helping us stated

"These items will go to Aleppo with other aid including medical aid. The Saint Vincent de Paul in partnership with Syria Aid, are the shippers and we have contacts in Syria mainly doctors. We have already sent twenty 40ft containers of aid to Greece, France, Syria (Aleppo) and Yemen. We are trying to get aid into Somali and South Sudan. SVP have sent many containers we also have worked on the ground in many Refugee camps."

If you have any Jerseys that still need to be collected, please let us know ASAP. We will send pictures of the jerseys being transported via SVP.

You gathered jerseys for Palestine and now they are being sent to Syria. They can only be got into Syria with the agreement of the murderous dictator Assad. How do you know they will get to deserving people at all. Will they be distributed only to pro Assad Syrians. You are roping in the SVP who could answer a few questions about their funds.

Yes they were for Palestine, but we could not get them them there.

They are going to Syria as well as Greece for the people who are fleeing the war.

I don't know what your insinuating about me 'roping' in SVP, but they have sent containers to refugees before and they are willing to help us.

They will be distributed about volunteers who work on the ground there.

I don't know anything about their funds.
You shouldnt have collected jerseys for Palestine unless you were sure you could deliver them.
You dont know who will get them now. Are they going to keeep Assads death squads warm in the winter? Overall a very amateur operation by you? I dont think there will be. O.B.E. in it for you
It was done in good faith. Previous consignment could be delivered. And the Israelis are b**tards
And the Syrians are angels. You dont know where this merchandise is going to end up. So ee could see some of Assads undercover henchmen lined up in a firing squad wearing GAA jerseys

I would have issues with his methods but wouldnt agree its fraud. The whole area of providing support to the third world or to situations like Palestine, eastern Ukraine etc is very difficult. There are so many different poitical/military groups on the ground and not all would have good records on human rights. Hamas can be as cruel to their own Palestinians people as the Israelis

The IRA were worse than Hamas. 
You wouldn't put the IRA in the same category as the British Army, presumably

The behaviour of the British forces in Ireland whether in the1916 to 1921 period or the 1969 to 1994 period is nothing to be proud of. Hamas' treatment of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank etc. who are opposed to them is far worse than anything the Provisionals did to their opponents.
Today we see what Assad in Syria does to his own people. Do we want to see his undercover murderers wearing GAA jerseys? That is the problem when you cannot control aid to refugees.

What sort of social welfare did the Provos provide to their people while they were fighting the Brits?
NI was never as bad as Gaza.

And the Provos killed plenty of spies too. 

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/20/world/middleeast/20gaza.html
"I felt there was a lot of thirst for blood," one soldier is quoted as saying. "This is the beauty of Gaza. You see a person walking down a street or path; he does not have to be with a weapon. You just have to see him with something, and you shoot him."
He also described an incident in which a platoon commander ordered the shooting of a woman who was crossing a street close to a house used by Israeli forces: "Suspicious, not suspicious, I don't know her story. what he did in the end was get the men on the roof and take her out. From that story, I felt it was cold-blooded murder."


Central to Israel's defence of its actions in Gaza in 2014  is the claim that international humanitarian law (IHR) is inadequate and must be modified to accommodate the "asymmetrical"nature of modern warfare.
