Not really true though. There are many protests in stores selling goods linked to Israel as well as raising awareness of boycotts including Coca Cola and McDonalds. If people individually decide to support these companies not much can be done to stop them.
The GAA supporting Allianz is an entire national sporting organisation that tens of thousands of us belong to. Not in our name.
This whataboutary is tedious.

Its not whataboutery if we are talking about boycotting good/companies linked to Israel

Its a hierarchy point, and btw I'm all over getting rid of Allianz, but save me the ah but parts to the rest of the arguments

What 'ah but' parts? What hierarchy point? No idea what you're on about. You're reply makes no connection to your original comment were you stated that "Unless it's supporting war bonds then everything else making money for Israel is good to go"... which is blatantly untrue.

So its when its an association rather than an individual thing? Have you stopped paying your membership?

It's simple enough if we wade through all the organisations be they sporting or not there are links to supporting Israeli based companies.. You are hanging it all on the war bonds which no one disagrees with..

The practicalities of just dropping Allianz isn't as easy as some many think (financial clauses no doubt)and getting another sponsor that suits everyone's point of view will again prove difficult..

As a matter of interest how long has the GAA been involved with Allianz? And if its many years why wasn't this a thing before as the genocide of Palestine has been going on for decades 
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

You're very determined to undermine the protest against Allianz!
You're wasting your time, they will go on and involve more and more high profile GAA figures, including at Derry-Tyrone and Armagh-Galway games this evening.
As far as I am aware the extent of Allianz involvement came to light in the 'Insuring Genocide Report' published in February 2025. It was later referenced in a report from Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur. In June the reports were sent to the GAA and representations made but the hierarchy stone-walled, the campaign has escalated... and on it will go.
