Ulster Final show of solidarity with Gaza

[armaghniac]

While there will be people killed in a variety of other places in the world, it is unclear whether any useful pressure can be brought to influence these situations. Isreal likes to portray itself as respectable in a way that the likes of Syria does not.

Not in favour of this.It will lead to loads of criticism from our separated brethern in the North,only too keen to bash the GAA.Politics should be kept out of the GAA

That says more for them then us.

Yes it does but Tony is right that it will bring on the usual from them.  Still it should go ahead as some things are bigger than the skewed sewer politics that dictates people's mindsets in our wee cuntry!

Poppycock from Tony, lacks conviction and moral fibre.
One should act if one feels the action is moral and just and not let oneself be controlled by such things as, will it disturb the peace of  mind of the KKK etc 'Oh my boy, don't go upsetting the likes of Bubba or Wullie with that civil rights talk'.
And this is not a political event taking place on a GAA ground, not even the GAA own the streets of Clones.

Surely there is some sort human rights violation there, putting children in antrim jerseys is a disgrace!

Why wasn't there a vigil for the 150000 Syrians killed

Maybe because hey were killed by Muslims backed by Iran, they don't fit your narrative

As I said above, what influence could we have on Syria?

That's the tragedy, the Palestinians are always on the losing side.

I would say after viewing Canavan on youtube a few times his picture will have replaced Yasser on the wall by now.

They use to shout "Alahu Akbur" (God is great) in Gaza, now they shout "Peter Akbur"

Politics has no room is sport.

Politics has no room is sport.

On the contrary, politics and sport have always mixed and will continue to mix - the GAA itself throughout its history is an obvious example.

Saying sport and politics don't mix is one of the laziest cliches out there.

Absolutely. That sounds like a recent Man City or Chelsea fan trying to justify their team selection.

Just out of curiosity...do you think a pro Israel demonstration should be allowed as well?

Absoutley. If you want to organise one, I will give you a lift
