    • ​@@TearsofsoilIsrael and its people are settler colonizers, they all work towards the extermination of indigenous Palestinians, also very likely that the basket ball team served in the ITF.

    • ​@@Tearsofsoil
      NOT true. so tired of nothing but Oct 7 …. Israel has shot how many in the middle of the streets to include children.? / how many thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned in Israeli prisons to include women + children and have been beaten, sexually assaulted, killed … all without charges.??? … can’t have Oct 7 without also considering and mentioning Oct 6 and past ….

    • ​@@Tearsofsoil почему тогда израиль и остальные страны запада хотят наказать вмех россиян ,а не только тех кто участвует в войне? Двойные стандарты!!! И да , Хамас не убивал и половину тех кто погиб 7 октября,их убили ЦАХАЛ растреливая всех без разбора,так же как разбомбили из вертолета концерт в кибуце,а потом сказали что их растрелли ХАМАС.

    • Yes! Did you see the Irish woman say “no” to her team mate. If only our governments had the same moral strength. Money is not their motivator unlike so many immoral countries around the world.

    • @@v.l.963 yes, genocide … The word drives the zionist crazy too, but the intent to full genocide is very clear, it is very clear by the numbers myrdered to date,
      the several mass graves found, the targeting of so called safe-havens refugee camps and hospitals ( no equipment/ medicines to treat or operate in another method of genocide)
      The deliberate targeting (snipers ) and execution of medics, ( doctors nurses paramedics) therefore lack of medical care as an act of genocide.
      The blocking of food water as starvation being a method of genocide.
      As time goes on disease will also be a method of genocide. Through lack of sanitary conditions. Oh yes it’s a well thought out well planned … genocide.

  1. I hope Ireland gives refuge to all the displaced Palestinians and Muslim brothers from other parts of the world who have been displaced by war and genocide.

    • Your thought is very humane helping others in a time of need but is not going to solve the problem.
      People cannot wonder around the planet in a desperate need of a place to put their head down without being terrified thinking ” do we have to pack up again and wonder around the world like fugitives for something we didn’t do just because someone else wants out land”???
      A lot of jews left when the Romans took over because they didn’t want to put up with oppression.
      Palestinians stayed and suffered.
      And when the Romans left and things were easier booom…the Jews decided to go back and take over again.
      You left because you didn’t want to fight for your country…now why are you coming back when life is better, why??????????

    • ​@@juliatugyi8285Very good point. I like that answer. And that IS why you see resistance fighters so fiercely defending their Homeland. They refuse to leave. They will get their land back too. With the way things are now, Izrael won’t be around much longer.

    • For supporting terrorists?? Ya’ll are crazy!!! The land belongs to the Jews, not the ARABS! YES, Arabs. No such thing as Palestinians. The Jews have a right to defend themselves after Hamas murdered innocent Jews, including babies. They beheaded babies and burned them in their cribs. You support innocent babies being slaughtered b/c they were Jews? Sickening.
