🎉 We are proud to announce that our ‘Irish Artists’ Pledge to Boycott Israel’ has just passed the 2,500 signatory mark! This is a hugely significant milestone in support for the Palestinian-led BDS Movement. #FreePalestine

While our national men’s football team took the field against apartheid Israel this evening, we said no, we said Red Card Genocidal Israel.
Ireland stands with Palestine, always. #FreePalestine

The months-long people-powered #StopTheGame campaign is calling on Ireland to refuse to play genocidal Israel in its UEFA Nations League matches.
The matches shouldn't be happening at all.
But here's what that campaign helped make happen:

Our banner drop at the Ha’penny Bridge tonight. No football for genocide, we should not be playing apartheid Israel ever. Ireland stands with Palestine, always. #StopTheGames

Spot on, these games should not be taking place.
🗣"It is up to the decision makers to make brave decisions, not expedient ones that expose individuals like the players now to shoulder the ultimate responsibility."
"If you need armed guards at hotels and four-hour meetings just to discuss whether to play... if you need all of these accommodations in place, surely this match shouldn't be taking place."
The Sunday Paper Review panel questions whether Ireland's international fixtures should be going ahead, highlighting the extreme security measures and unfair pressure placed on players in the absence of executive leadership. ⚽☘️

Just under two hours to kick off, just under two hours for the Irish team to go down in history as legends for upholding our proud legacy of solidarity with the oppressed. Don't cross the Palestinian picket line, don't play Israel. We will all be with you, stop the games.

Well done to the Irish Mirror, also to Off the Ball which is not broadcasting either game despite having the rights as they don't think we should play Israel, and the RTÉ staff who won't work on the games. These games should not go ahead. #StopTheGames

There is still time for the FAI to boycott the Israel games. #StopTheGames
All teams and players must follow the principled example set by Gavin Bazunu and refuse matches with Israel.
No normal sports with a rogue genocidal state.

Palestinians salute the principled decision by Ireland’s men’s national football team goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu not to play the UEFA Nations League matches against genocidal Israel.

There is still time and there is still hope that Ireland pulls out of today's game against apartheid Israel and this demonstration turns into a welcome home. But if the game goes ahead we will be at the Aviva Stadium Thursday to show our solidarity with Palestine #StopTheGames

Brian Kerr brilliant again on Virgin Media Sport last night on why there is no way the Irish team shouldn't cross the Palestinian picket line and play apartheid Israel, on the diagrace of the FAI mismanagement of this and the isolation of our hero Gavin Bazunu. #StopTheGames

This is terrible. We hope Gavin Bazunu realises the outpouring of support, respect and love there is for him for taking this stand. You will go down in history Gavin, you uphold our proud legacy of standing with the oppressed and we are with you, we salute you.
Brian Kerr saying that he has been in touch with Gavin Bazunu this evening and "he's feeling quite low and shunned by some of the players and by the FAI and it's been suggested to him that it'd be better if he left the squad."
An absolute disgrace. Stand with Gavin Bazunu.

Gavin Bazunu's statement on pulling out of tomorrow’s game against apartheid Israel. We salute him, he will go down in history for this. And we hope more of the players will take such a principled stand. There is still time for the FAI to do the right thing. #StopTheGames
