Irish goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu took a brave stand by refusing to play against Israel on Sunday night. It was the cowardice of football’s governing bodies and their refusal to exclude Israel from international competition that made his stand necessary.

Also, why are we wrapping Azaz up in cotton wool for his 'passionate' speech in support of the genocidal baby killers and yet Bazunu was, and still is, being lead like a lamb to the slaughter over having a fucking backbone??

The matches between Ireland and Israel this week have put paid to any notion that sport and politics don’t mix.
The Israel Football Association directed vitriolic personal abuse at the Irish manager when he rightly accused Israel of committing genocide.

But fuck it.

Protesters line Lansdowne Road to encourage boycott of second Israel fixture
A strong showing of demonstrators gathered in the surroundings of the Aviva Stadium this evening to protest Ireland’s fulfillment of their UEFA Nations League fixtures against Israel. Large banners proclaiming, “Stop the game” and “Show Israel the red card” were on display in the build-up to Ireland’s Nations League encounter against Austria. There was also widespread support on offer for Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, the sole player to have pulled out of Ireland’s first game against Israel in Hungary on Sunday, with banners dubbing him an “Irish hero” visible.
