June 4: Boycott of Ireland-Israel Football Matches
redjade | 03.06.2005 13:15 | Anti-militarism | Liverpool
On 4 June, Irish soccer supporters
should show Israeli Apartheid the Red Card
- Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign
- Boycott the Ireland-Israel football matches
It's time for people to demand justice for Palestine.
We are calling upon the Irish soccer supporters to stand up for justice and human rights by supporting Palestine at the soccer match between Ireland and Israel on June 4 in Dublin. They can do this by waving Palestinian flags and by chanting "Free Palestine".
The Irish people should not allow Israel to use the football field to represent and assert itself, with its occupation and apartheid politics, in front of the international community. Irish football should not allow players and supporters to be manipulated as political pawns by a criminal Israeli regime which shows a total disregard for International Law by continuing to imprison the Palestinian people behind an 8-metre high Apartheid wall built on stolen Palestinian land, while at the same time pretending to engage in peace talks.
Irish soccer supporters should show the Israeli Government that there is no place for Apartheid in the 21st century.

The regime in teh UK is far more murderous than those in any of the countries u mentioned. Just coz its not commiting these acts at home doesnt mean its not like that.

The social/financial situation (whatever it is you are alluding to) of a race/religion/ethnicity bears no relevance to wether someone else is being racist or discriminating against them.
If everyone with black skin were millionaires would it still be ok to call them the 'n word'?
The fact that you generalise about Jews 'situation' shows that a) you don't know what you are talking about and b) you are stereotyping.
I think it is very sad that when judging Israel's behaviour there is a confusion between zionists and jews. Of course Zionism and Judaism are linked, this is obvious. But Jew and Zionist are not one and the same thing.
Unfortunately this problem is not aided by many who should realise the responsibility they have: The Chief Rabbi recently vocally supported Israel when the Catholic Church divested money from Israel, and the Jewish Chronicle is an arguably pro-Israel newspaper.
