Why am I not surprised.
🔺Latest: Reports coming in from the stadium that one of the Ireland back-room staff was spat at by an Israel player during that half-time clash. Fitness coach Damien Doyle has alleged he was spat as the teams went off for the break. Live updates here: irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/…

In journalism and human-rights work, protecting source identities is a long-standing ethical and practical norm precisely when the material involves atrocities, war crimes, or powerful actors capable of retaliation. Stop with the gaslighting, the world has seen the evidence.

Patrick. Not a single so called IDF soldiers was verified. I’ve seen th propaganda film. That is all it is. Propaganda and an excuse for Jew haters to hate Jews. Israel is not going anywhere. Neither are Jews.

🚨 BREAKING: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "If this isn't genocide, then what is it?" The legendary Manchester City manager condemns the Israeli "massacres": "We have allowed them to destroy an entire people. Our children could be in Gaza and be killed simply because they were born there."

No amount of your fake hasbara will undermine the truth exposed by Naza. Wait for world reaction when it will be debuting on Netflix in Novemner and the broader world recoils in horror. The jig is up buddy. It was produced and directed by Israelis and features IDF officers.

Appalled by an opinion column in the @nationalpost endorsing violence against NDP leader @AviLewis. The Post should retract this article, and apologize to Mr. Lewis. There is no place in a free and democratic society for the incitement of violence against political leaders.

Big hairy deal, he was spoken to in a bold and agressive manner- nothing illegal about that. It was an information picket line to highlight the fact a vile propagandist was a guest speaker. All legal and in accordance with Charter protected rights. So, what is your problem?
Maybe have a look at the word accosted. Here you go: to approach and speak to someone in a bold, aggressive, rude, or threatening way

It's only new if you do not understand the facts. The CBC journalist's credibility was seriously compromised when he posted a one sided version of his experience. He identified himself as a journalist thereby dragging his employer into a much disputed series of events. 1/2

Oh yeah....that settles the issue for sure. Nothing like a partisan crowd at a Munk debate to be the final arbiter of what's antisemitic. Got it Ben.
Anyone in attendance at the @munkdebate about a year and a half ago knows that the “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” crowd gave it their best try and we’re defeated with a knockout punch in the first five minutes of the debate by @HausdorffMedia.

The jig is up, the world's tide is turning.
Agreed. Their children and grandchildren will … did you follow these Jew hating folks?

The Zionist government in Israel and their acolytes around the world call this Jewish man an "antisemite". Why ? because he called out Israeli war crimes, illegal terrorist settlers and the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. Go figure.

He writes for the @nationalpost need I say anymore.

He seems fixated on the Irish people. The Irish never facilitated funding for Hamas - Israel did.

All international teams visiting Germany in the 1930's gave the Nazi salute including England, it was deemed to be a courteous gesture at the time. The Israeli Lehi ( Stern Gang) approached the Nazis in 1940 to form an alliance, their leader Yitzhak Shamir became Israeli PM.

This guy @IvisonJ calls himself a journalist and proceeds to post a photo of the German team giving the Nazi salute in Dalymount Park, Dublin, and falsely claims it's the Irish team. He should make a correction. Here is a another pic of Germany V England same kit.
The video below is what the Irish team and the Irish people are protesting in 2026. Why am I not surprised that a columnist from the National Compost aligns himself with the baby killers in the IDF. Scotland played against the Nazi's two days earlier.

Here ya go buddy...the English team giving the Nazi salute in Germany. youtu.be/jlbLHviSTPc?si=Hs7q…
“Ireland, the Descendant of Hìtler Lovers, Will Not Tell Me About the Jéwish State’s Right to Exist.” Douglas Murray —the failed British English teacher— went from correcting Netanyahu’s English speeches to becoming a full-blown fanatical propagandist attacking the Irish people. The Irish didn't survive centuries of domination to take moral lectures from Netanyahu’s English tutor. 😂

LOL @BorisJohnson and @IrwinCotler as signatories - tells you all you want to know about this open letter.
ENOUGH WITH THE GENOCIDE ACCUSATION. More than 6,000 scholars, historians, legal experts and public figures have signed an open letter rejecting accusations that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Among them: Steven Pinker, Niall Ferguson, Benny Morris, Deborah Lipstadt, John Spencer, Irwin Cotler and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Branding Israel’s war against Hamas as “genocide” distorts the facts and has been weaponized against Jews worldwide. H/T: Naftali

youtu.be/xm-gjV35qKo?si=KhEF… Here is another winning way to start a conversation. Plus the photograph you posted was not the Irish team in Dublin. It was customery for teams visiting Germany prior to WW2 to give the salute including England, Ireland and many other English clubs.

To be precise and accurate, I likened the IDF's bombing of a University in Gaza to that of the Nazi's burning books in Berlin's Bebelplatz. Both incidents attacked institutional learning and knowledge. They have now bombed every university and school in Gaza today. #Monsters

The same Sid who called Israeli soldiers Nazis a number of years ago. He is just showing the most common Irish trait…anti-Semitism.

You are wrong. Twenty out of the 25 players in the Republic of Ireland's recent senior squad were born in Ireland. Squad Birthplace Breakdown • Born in Ireland: 20 players • Born outside Ireland: 5 players (who qualify through parental or grandparental eligibility rules)
Replying to @IvisonJ @PSidRyan
I don't particularly like you John, but you're 100% right on this. The Ireland team isn't even composed of Irish players anymore, they are mostly English that have some long removed Irish ancestry and play for Ireland, because they're not good enough for England. Worthless tools
