Boycotting a football match is about as low-effort an act of resistance as you could imagine when opposing an ongoing genocide.
You’d think.
That said, at least you can have conversations like this on national television in Ireland and have viewpoints like this aired.
@aral Wow just wow. Kudos to these guys. They said it all.

@aral Ireland, a living conscience. When the simplest acts become a bulwark against forgetting. Boycotting a match is a message that the blood of Gaza is more precious than any festival. Peace be upon Ireland, the voice of truth in a time of betrayal✌️🔥 I love Ireland🤍🕊️ #GazaDiesAndWins #Humanity
@aral It feels so good to hear this. It is the only normal, most logical, most humane response in this setting. Too sad these voices in the public arena are so rare.
@sticklandtim Oh, I’m sure they are: and implementing additional checks to ensure something like this can’t ever happen on their propaganda – sorry – I mean programmes.
@aral Just wow. Would absolutely not happen in Germany. Probably wouldn't even mention why balls were thrown.
@aral wow I'm kind of impressed still. even in my wildest dreams this kind of commentary would never happen on French national TV, because of censorship and their spineless "journalists". so ashamed of my country...
@aral I was expecting the usual "don't mix sports with politics", but this was very refreshing. Hope more sports and non-sports programs follow suit.
@aral that’s a great interview - would not be allowed on any British channel I think?
@aral
Well done to the irish
@simon_brooke @vega @aral Yeah, but unfortunately they would probably be fit to say the complete opposite.
