You do what you can and FAI will do f**k all it seems.. all talk, then your man gives off about the GAA lol

The perfect draw to shut him up lol,

Mental gymnastics to say it's ok to play Israel

I'm not saying it's ok to play Israel.

I'm saying Irish soccer will be set back 20 years if they don't.

The smugness from within the GAA who wouldn't even allow a discussion about a genocide supporting sponsor seems a bit off. Surely the rock and a hard place concept is understood?

UEFA/FIFA will  never ban Israel
US/UK/EU etc will never condemn Israel
Israel have  done unspeakable things in Palestine  for almost 8 decades. They will  continue to do so.
The Zionist  lobby will ensure  attack  against any person,  organisation or country who speak out at the genocide

While it sickens many of us  to see the terror state  continue to  carry out genocide, and still  be involved  in sports, Eurovision etc,  i don't think  any ban/condemnation/embargo etc against Israel (or their teams) is forthcoming... so  do we put ourselves in the sporting/Eurovision/political/economic wilderness for decades to come, knowing full well nothing will ever change?

Last July, then-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote a social media post accusing Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza.  Steve Bannon, the former aide to Donald Trump and influential podcaster, defended her. "Marjorie Taylor Greene just reflects her constituency," Bannon told The New York Times. He described her constituency as "hard-core evangelical Christians."
Young Republicans, including young evangelicals, have become increasingly disenchanted with their party's uncritical support for Israel. Greene was speaking for them.

So the politics are changing.  Last year the Europeans were working on sanctions

 A group of 25 economists, including 12 Nobel laureates, said there was a growing risk that European states might impose targeted sanctions on Israel, which the economists warned would inflict "severe damage on science, trade and employment" in Israel.


The boycott will happen with the sanctions

I never knew that.

Isn't she the one Trump fell out with over the Epstein files? Fair play to her.

She is the one . She is very impressive

Whatever you think of MTG, watching the mob savage her for continuing to believe the things the mob itself believed twenty minutes ago has been a sight to behold. We are in the late stages of democracy as Plato described them, and both main parties have succumbed to the madness

No she isn't. She is absolutely mental and even by American standards an extremist

[gallsman]

Christ almighty, "Marjorie Taylor Green is impressive" is not one I expected to hear. You don't have to kiss her ass just because she came out against Israel.

A complete lunatic, but re Trumpstein / Genocide and America butting in all over the world, hard to disagree with her tbh

Yeah had it in my head she was a bad f**ker and obviously you won't get to a high level in Trumps government being a decent human thats why I was hesitant to even praise her, but fair play to her on Israel and Epstein.

But she arrived there via Qanon and antisemitism

She doesn't care about the children of Gaza.

She is anti Trump, anti war, anti Israel and anti Epstein.
Those are fairly mainstream views.


The evangelicals were appalled by the genocide so she went with them

She is in the same group as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly

I'm being attacked by many in the establishment Republican Party, the consulting class, and their paid shills because I outflank them all on the right, I'm controlled by no one, and they're threatened by that. I'm more conservative than they are and my voting record proves it. I'm unapologetically America FIRST and my voting record proves it, and they are neocon warmongering globalists and their record proves it. Trump called me a traitor because I stood with women, who were raped as teenagers and trafficked by Epstein, and I refused to do his bidding and take my name off the Epstein discharge petition to release the files. If you agree with him that elite rich powerful pedophiles and rapists should be protected, then you have sick problems. I've never voted to fund any foreign wars and I can criticize any government in the world and you can too, our First Amendment gives us that right. Criticizing a governments actions does not make you guilty of hating anyone or any people group. And those labels are being thrown around to intimidate you and to try to silence you. Don't be intimidated. Don't be silent. YOU are the taxpayers, which makes YOU and YOUR voice the most powerful there is. When it comes to how YOUR hard earned money is being spent, whether it's fraud to fake scams or NGOs or funding foreign wars that are killing children, YOU, the American people, are the ONLY ONES who can stop it!!! And most importantly, if you voted for Trump and Republicans and they are still funding ridiculous fraud and garbage and foreign wars that have nothing to do with your life, then SPEAK UP! You hired these people. You are not in a cult. You are nearly $40 Trillion in debt consistently ruled by a Uniparty government, no matter which party is supposedly in charge. Hold the people you vote for accountable and demand that they do what they promised you they would do. I've been on the inside and please believe me when I tell you that you are the only ones that can reign your government in. But don't wait until it's too late.


https://x.com/RepMTG/status/2007485346913607836I've served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I'm 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America. Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border. Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs. If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn't the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels? And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S. The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran. And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I'm not endorsing Russia or China) Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American's tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it. Americans disgust with our own government's never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going. This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end. Boy were we wrong. As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only. As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

She is anti Trump, anti war, anti Israel and anti Epstein.
Those are fairly mainstream views.

Now she is.

The point remains. How she arrived to those mainstream positions is the issue.

She is right about Israel and Epstein, but that doesn't change the fact she's an absolute wing nut.

The Evangelicals do. Support for Israel has collapsed over the genocide. Evangelicals are a quarter of the US population.

There are huge political changes under the surface in the US driven by the genocide
70% of Democrat voters aged 18/49 have an unfavourable view of Israel.

You could say the same about Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly
The Trump GOP is a cult that worships Trump. There is very little integrity in it.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has said Ireland will fulfil the fixtures.
Mr Boyd Barrett said he hopes they will not go ahead, saying: "Uefa should do the right thing.
"The FAI should do the right thing.
"But ultimately, if the match goes ahead in Ireland, I think there will be absolutely enormous protests because I think that decision would not reflect the views of the Irish people".

These children from #Gaza were all murdered by #Israel. When their academy visited #Ireland in 2016 and 2017, Irish host families were shocked by how undernourished they were. #Israel refused to let them travel to #Ireland again.
