Of course i can understand people having issues with the Israeli government and IDF etc, but Ireland will be playing Qatar at some point as well after the Israel game. I doubt we'll hear any commotion about that however but the following here from another site fully represents my thoughts on this matter.

Im sure you actually mean well but the vast majority in this country just dont view last years conflict in the Middle East as a topic of concern. Last weeks Sunday Independent Ireland thinks polls has just 3% viewing Gaza as a priority.

The game isnt until September and the coverage is already blanket level.

In a two week period after Christmas 40,000 Iranians were gunned down on the streets yet the press here are just fixated on Israel and a conflict thats been over since last October.

The complete lack of similar protests and political opposition in Kosovo and Austria just goes to show Ireland is an outlier on this.

The game will go ahead , I think we've done enough damage already to our international reputation with our continued Israel bashing.

It happened because they were given a state not denied one as well. As i say I can understand people having issues with the IDF and Israeli government etc, but hopefully security and policing is on the ball here and that nothing happens to further increase Irelands disgraced and well deserved reputation as the most anti semitic country in Europe.

Objecting to ethnic cleansing, genocide and basically bombing women and children in tents and that’s just Gaza (no even mentioning the evil happening in the West Bank) is NOT antisemitism but a stand for human decency.

You can’t point fingers at what others are doing and use that as an excuse to ignore what Israel has done that’s how it works.

I’m not Irish but I for one salute Ireland for its principled stance, thank god there are still folks in the world with a moral compass

Can’t help yourself can you Corky - did you enjoy seeing 40 Iranian kids being blown up at school?

Imagine being so irretrievably stupid you think you can create a new account, post the same wank as your old account, and get away with it.

You’re a child.

You just can't help yourself Corky, every time you post your mask slips further.

After what happened today they should be banned

No matter what we think of Iran any unprovoked attack should warrant a ban like Russia have been.

Israel will as usual get away with it

Don't disagree but can't see FIFA banning USA from their home tournament
