Removal of Gaza flag in Croke Park!

[charlieTully]

I was wondering how long this would take to become a thinly-veined proxy war about the north.

Merely using examples of people sitting back and accepting things for fear off upset or not wanting to rock the boat. My examples happen to relate to the North. I have no wish to deflect from the issue at hand.

The length of these quotes is getting seriously out of hand...

They really were.

Aoise,

I have to say I really respect your stance and genuine empathy for the innocent woman and children of Gaza.You appear to be a good person and I wish you and other genuine people well in your attempts to display solidarity with the people who have suffered in Gaza.
        If you believe waving flags in solidarity with Palestinians at sporting events will make some sort of a difference I can only respect your stance for doing so.

Ffs the GAA would played God Save The Queen and fly a Union Jack if Sky toul them they'd give them a score quid for it.

A score of quid ?. Surely they'd negotiate for a lot more than that.

Good luck with the show of solidarity ( even though I disagree that it should happen inside he stadium).

Wouldn't life be so much easier if people decided to forget about flags and political symbols when attending sporting events.

Aoise, what about the children killed by Hamas? Do you support their right to live? do you protest for them? I think not!

I despise what the Israeli government is doing to the people of Gaza, I also detest what the cowards in Hamas are doing to their own people and the fact that they are blowing up innocent Israeli's.

Bottom line, we all would be better off enjoying the spectacle of the greatest games on earth without worrying, for a few hours at least, about making political statements in our National Stadium!

The only flag that should be flown at Croke Park is the Flag of our Country and the County flag of that days participants and that's it for me. By all means protest peacefully outside the stadium but do not sully the spectacle with cheap, attention grabbing antics, simply enjoy the games and have a few jars after the games are over!

Not trying to be smart, but what children killed by Hamas?

Been watching the crowd as closely as I can. Haven't spotted any. Anyone at the game know if there were a few??

What the fcuk are you on about sligonian?

Well there was the teenagers that got tortured in June by Hamas, they were just kids, did they deserve to die? Were they innocent?

Sligonian, you are a lazy bollix, you simply tote out the old line about Fox as if you know me, I rarely watch Fox because it is as reliable as the left's stations, MSNBC for example.

I watch the BBC news primarily, plus the Chinese news is good viewing, there is not a decent news channel in the states, they are all shite!!

Brainwashed??? You presume to know me, so republicians and libertarians are brainwashed whilst the democrats are enlightened? Is that it? Tube!

Stew, Netanyahu announced that they had been kidnapped by Hamas. That may have been completely false, but regardless it was the premise for Israel to start the war. Unusually, Hamas denied involvement.

On Friday, Chief Inspector Micky Rosenfeld, foreign press spokesman for the Israel Police, reportedly told BBC journalist Jon Donnisonhe that the men responsible for murders were not acting on orders of Hamas leadership. Instead, he said, they are part of a "lone cell." Further, Inspector Rosenfeld told Donnison that if Hamas' leadership had ordered the kidnapping, "they'd have known about it in advance."
