Palestine's women's national team will travel to Dublin in May to face Women's League of Ireland side Bohemians in a historic friendly match.

Bohemians will host the Palestinian women's team in a friendly on May 15, the Dublin side confirmed on Tuesday - with more games likely in the future.

An agreement between Bohs and the Palestinian Football Association will see the two teams face off in a match to mark the 76th anniversary of Nakba, with the Phibsborough side declaring their 'intention to shed light on the human rights situation in occupied Palestine'.

Funds raised through the match will be used to facilitate the visit of the Palestinian football team as well as provide funds for humanitarian relief efforts in Palestine.

The game was signed off yesterday after a meeting between the President of the Palestine Football Association (PFA), Lt. General Jibril Al-Rjoub, and Daniel Lambert, Chief Operations Officer of Bohs, and Seán McCabe, Head of Climate Justice and Sustainability from the Bohemian Football Club.




According to a statement released by the Irish side, the purpose of the meeting was to 'discuss collaboration opportunities'.

It read: "President Al-Rjoub also explored potential areas of collaboration between the Football Association and Bohemian FC and a possible signing of a MoU to strengthen the historical ties between Irish and Palestinian people."

"We hope that this game can highlight the positive power of football and raise significant funds to further support humanitarian efforts in Palestine, as well as covering costs for the women's team to travel to Ireland.

"We will be announcing a series of events around the game in due course, as well as ticketing information, and hope to see a sold out Dalymount Park in solidarity with the women of the Palestinian national team and their nation."

Bohs had previously raised funds for Sport for Life Palestine through sales of their 2023 away shirt, which helped provide access to sports for children in the city of Tulkarem in the West Bank.

Club President Matt Devaney welcomed the announcement of the May fixture.

He said: "I would like to thank Ambassador Abdalmajid for her efforts in enabling this fixture and look forward to welcoming her and officials from the Palestinian FA to Dalymount Park and to hopefully raise a substantial sum to assist people in a truly dire situation."

And Ken Kiernan, Bohs women's team manager, added: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to play this fixture.

How Israel controls Governments

AIPAC HAS TOO MUCH CONTROL OVER OUR GOVT

If China or Russia, or Iran funded almost EVERY member of Congress people would be freaking out.

I listened to quite a bit of this and have a lot of time for Finkelstein but like all intellectuals if you are going to put someone down with "I've read more books than you" then it's not a good look although that Zionist lad hadn't a puff to be fair and was winding the life out of Finkelstein.

Bottom line with all Zionists is that if the Palestinians had of been nice and gave up 1/3 of their homeland back in 1947 then the Israeli state wouldn't have needed to be so bad to them over the years really is galling, but I suppose that's the colonial mindset all over.

Also Finkelstein is entirely right to point out to Zionists that the Jewish faith has no right to a homeland of their own and if anything he doubling down that even after WW2 and the holocaust that Europeans, UK and US didn't want the Jews either and were only too willing to support the annexation of Palestine for the fledgling "Jewish" state of Israel.

And we are where we are today.

It wouldn't have mattered what the Palestinians did in 1948. If the Poles had negotiated with the Nazis in 1939 Poland would still have been destoyed. Zionism is the same.

You and I both know that, but that's the type of bullshít they're peddling.

Jonathan Cook's latest, on the complicity of Western media with the ongoing slaughter.  Cook isn't great on every topic, but he lived  in Israel for 20 years until quite recently, and he's always worth your time on Israel/Palestine.

Excellent article. Western mainstream media are a pathetic embarrassment to the once noble trade of journalism.

UN rapporteur calls for imposing sanctions against Israel

Some light relief this evening with Iceland beating Israel 4-1 in the euro play offs.

The mood was not so sporting in the aftermath of the draw when Iceland coach, respected veteran Norwegian Age Hareide said among other things, "that he would have preferred not to play against Israel, but Iceland cannot refuse it due to impending punishments from UEFA. Hareide said that his opinion was that this game should not have been played because of the situation in Gaza and what the Israelis had done to women, children and other innocent citizens in the area."

naturally Israel zionists went apeshít, none other than  zionist Avram Grant entered the domain
"I saw what Iceland's coach said. I don't know him personally, but I'm upset that he should mix sports with something he has no knowledge of. But I want to ask him a few questions. First, I would like to state that I am against the victimization of ordinary citizens and it saddens me when this happens.

But one must remember that it all started with the massacre of Hamas members. So I want to ask the coach: Why didn't you say anything about the massacre in Israel on October 7? Why didn't you say: I am broken because of all the women who were raped, because of the children who were beheaded, because of the old people who were burned alive? Because of parents who were shot in front of their children,"

Hounded by Israeli reporters at press conferences before the game tonight, Age replied
"I come from a nation where freedom of speech prevails and you can express your opinions. As for this, I think some of what I said got washed up in translation and taken out of context. I am interested in politics, I know all about the hostage situation, and I also said later that the hostages should be freed, the hostilities should be stopped and peace should be established. I come from a peaceful nation and do not take a position in politics. We play against footballers and that is the most important thing. Many of Israel's players have played across Europe and I have nothing against them."

Avram Grant called out the Iceland coach as a hypocrite
Do you understand what the Israelis have been through, will you shake their hand before and after the game tomorrow?

Age Hareide
"Yes of course these are footballers like us and I don't think it's right to get into political discussions around this game. They are often misunderstood in translation. I just wanted to say, we play football and we have to play this game. The tournaments and games have been planned for a long time and we didn't know who we would face. We are also going to play with Israeli footballers, not with the Israeli people, that is the most important thing."

And then there is the result Iceland 4-1 Israel
