Ireland: We support Palestine.
World: Enough to forego a football match?
Ireland: Now let’s not go crazy here.
All words. No action. Sounds about right.

@aral Apparently, hurting a small team’s feelings is a red line, but hurting an entire people is acceptable. 72,000 martyrs, yet the real concern is protecting the team’s feelings. What a dark irony.

Exactly. Supporting Palestine should mean more than words when meaningful action is possible. Solidarity is measured by what you’re willing to do, not just what you’re willing to say. 🇵🇸

Most of Europe: we’re not entirely cool with all the dead babies, raping and such
Reasonable people: how about not having the genocidal rapist torturer attend your annual singing and dancing contest?
Also Europe: hang on now, that’s a bit extreme isn’t it? Someone’s feelings are going to feel sad feelings!
We can’t even do the smallest of the small symbolic gestures in the face of a literal holocaust.
Our children will rightfully condemn our inaction.
