Republic of Ireland player says Nations League match vs Israel should not go ahead
Ireland is facing pressure for not cancelling their match with Israel. They shouldn't have to face this pressure, Israel should be banned, Russia have been banned for 4.5 years. Why aren't Israel banned?
Maggie Priceless🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇨🇦🇵🇸🇺🇦7Ireland could be chomping at the bit to kick their arses.
Mars Firestein6obvious vs oblivious: yes. they must be banned. a good way to put pressure on governments committing crimes is to ban them from sports and entertainment opportunities. then their own people get involved. and start kicking up dust themselves. sad but true.
flyoragayshun.bsky.social5The decision lies with UEFA, not the Irish FA.
Valk41. Israel didn't start a war of agression aganist a UEFA member state, Russia did. 2. Israel's government doesn't interfere in their football federation, Russia does. 3. About 1/3 to 1/4 of Israel's team are israeli arabs, so much for apartheid. Now you know.
Eric V3When a country genocides, then their sports teams are not allowed to play amongst the civilized countries.
Falconer3Russia went to war against a democratic nation dragging itself out if the Soviet swamp. Israel went to war with a terrorist organisation. Seems pretty simple to me why one is banned and the other isnt.

He was known as "the Sinn Féin Rabbi" for his support of the First Dáil and the Irish republican cause during the Irish War of Independence.[6] Herzog was involved with the Federation of Zionist Youth and Habonim Dror, the Zionist Labour movement, during his teenage years.[citation needed]
Rabbinic career
Herzog was ordained as a rabbi in 1910 by the Rabbi of Safad.[5][1] He served as rabbi of Belfast from 1915 to 1919[5] and was appointed rabbi at Dublin in 1919. He was a fluent Irish speaker.[citation needed] He served as Chief Rabbi of Ireland between either 1921[7] or 1925[5] and 1936. During his time in office, the Greenville Hall Synagogue was opened, and the Adelaide Road Synagogue extended. Herzog had positive relations with W. T. Cosgrave and was friendly with Éamon de Valera, who consulted him when he was designing the new Irish constitution. After Herzog's appointment in Palestine, a multi-party farewell event was arranged in Dublin's Mansion House.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fujsnmqkn7n4pcmd5ybt7jld/bafkreifh7jzw6uh36x4ceueg7glm5epz4nq7xkvalz3bgvufrbxitdhd6e)
