The horror of having to play a soccer match against Israel. Your fans boycotted, the stadium was empty and you hung your heads during the Israeli national anthem and wore black armbands. So brave, you fucking retards.
You disgraced yourselves.
EDIT: Iran stands with Ireland. Arm in arm against oppression.

Should get politics out of games completely.
But from political perspective what Israel did in Gaza is wrong and criminal. You can’t kill 7 civilians in a building in order to kill 1 Hamas fighter there. You can’t have a war that killed 1200 Hamas fighters at the price of over 80k killed civilians, of which 30% are children.
Ireland only got better when the IRA stopped using islamist tactics, and decided they weren'tgoing to win back Northern Ireland through violence against school children. Now the islamists need to realize the same thing.
When Hamas starts loving their own children more than they hate Jews, their own children will have a future, and the violence will stop. As it stands right now, though, they view their own children as "acceptable losses."
Clinton Administration...most notably by George Mitchell?...(see AI Overview below)
The best...and lasting...solutions come from a commitment...over time...to Negotiations...NOT a Shoot First and Ask Questions Later "Strategy"...which is the Idiotic path we find ourselves on vis-a-vis Iran. It took a long time re: Ireland/Britain, but it was well worth it...I know, from visiting relatives in NI, before and after the GFA.

AI Overview
The Clinton Administration played a crucial diplomatic role in helping broker the Good Friday Agreement, which was signed on April 10, 1998, and ended most of the violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Key Involvement and Actions
• Appointment of Special Envoy: President Bill Clinton fulfilled a 1992 campaign promise by appointing former U.S. Senator George J. Mitchell as the U.S. Special Envoy for Northern Ireland in 1995, overriding initial friction with the British government.
• Chairing Negotiations: George Mitchell successfully chaired the multi-party talks that ultimately produced the historic 1998 accord, establishing a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland.
• Political Risk and Engagement: President Clinton engaged directly with various factions, including granting a controversial U.S. visa to Sinn Féin's Joe Cahill in 1994 to support the peace strategy, which helped encourage movement toward an IRA ceasefire.
• Bipartisan Legacy: The administration's efforts in mediating the agreement are widely regarded as a major foreign policy success and have maintained strong bipartisan support in U.S. politics

Just stop.
of all the innocent Palestinians in GAZA...and those within Israel. Not unlike what many nations...including Ireland...did while So. Africa engaged in Apartheid.
Ireland stands for Justice...for ALL...and they know all too well what Injustice looks and Feels like.
I never pegged you to be immoral until now. Hamas could have did the right thing and surrendered. Never thought you'd side with hamas. Wow.
"Two State Solution" that Israel was created under...they would then have the full support of the whole world...outside of Iranian Shiite extremists. This has been U.S. Policy since the very beginning...up until Trump stupidly sided with Netanyahu.
Educate yourself on such issues...or at least accept the reality that informed sources are providing you.

Then, when given it anyway, they used their powers to orchestrate missile attacks and home invasions targeting and torturing innocent families, including targeting children as the goal of the attacks...killing more than 1000 innocents. You support terrorism by asking Israel to reinstate a system to support that terrorism.
Can't believe I responded to you. But, Americans often don't realize that Israel has supported the 2 state solution for decades, and that weakness got us to this point. Don't pretend it is something not tried, and being newly proposed. This is the same as those calling for constant cease fires in the name of peace, but really to allow Hamas to regroup and re- organize to continue fighting.
admin was in the process of creating just before Hamas' Oct. 7 attack?...
Here's the summary...What Could Have Been...except for the Zionists and Iran Extremists "Holy War"...
-----------------
AI Overview
Yes, the Biden administration was actively working to broker a normalization and recognition agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel before the October 7, 2023, attack.
The Normalization Push
• President Joe Biden's administration led high-level diplomatic talks to secure a historic agreement where Saudi Arabia would officially recognize Israel.
• In the months leading up to October 2023, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman acknowledged progress in the negotiations, stating in a Fox News interview that the two sides were getting closer every day.
• U.S. and regional efforts involved discussing security guarantees and economic partnerships, though sticking points regarding Palestinian rights and statehood remained part of the complex diplomatic balancing act.
President Biden's Assessment
• Shortly after the conflict began, President Biden stated that he believed one of Hamas's primary motivations for launching the October 7 attack was to derail these impending normalization talks.
• Biden noted at a campaign event that Hamas struck because they knew discussions and potential recognition agreements involving Saudi Arabia were moving forward.
Impact of the Attack
• Following the outbreak of the war, the diplomatic discussions were paused as regional tensions surged.
• Official Saudi positions subsequently emphasized that formal recognition of Israel would require tangible steps toward a Palestinian state.

Glad you found the courage to participate in this Forum debate, and not make it solely one-sided...thus allowing relevant and factual arguments to be made.
Biden never gave up, and showed the way by using peaceful negotiations with key players in the ME, while Netanyahu worked to torpedo any chance of a Two State Solution, and ultimately suckering our country's "Leader" into an un-winnable war that could have lasting negative implications, beyond what we've already experienced.
For whatever reason, you appear to seek War rather than Peace...regardless of the Body Count....hardly an example of someone claiming to be "Pro-Life"...is it?
Now it's back to the Peace Table...like it or not, Ned...
rational view. Case in point...As any Pope will tell you...peaceful means of conflict resolution must be pursued and any response to violence should not cause escalation. The Netanyahu/Trump War against Iran is far beyond the scope of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack...and threats by Trump to Eliminate the Iranian people is worthy of "War Crime" prosecution.
You're way out over your ski tips on this...and now with my reminder to you of Biden's success in getting Saudi Arabia to actually entertain recognition of Israel under a Two State Solution, you can see the bankruptcy of the War First 'Strategy'...both Politically and Morally.
Supporting this UnJust War takes away any claim you might have envisioned for the Moral High Ground...you know it, and I strongly suspect that's why you want to quit. If any more justification is needed, just take a peek at DJT's approval ratings among Independent voters over this issue. You are in a very small minority, as compared with my majority standing.
I am curious how much you get paid. Is it per post? Or do you just receive a small payment as long as you post enough copies of AI generated content?
There is a streak of Nazi type cultism in the Muslim world and it cannot be coddled.
Genocide has been a human trait from when we descended from the canopy and wandered around on foot in tribes. Mohammed himself was a practitioner and many of his followers still believe this is Allah's will.
…and ignoring warnings of Hamas violence. As for Hamas they took control of Gaza by gunpoint…and repressing all peaceful Palestinians…yet Netanyahu made no distinction when dropping 2,000 lb bombs.
Face up to the reality.

If you don’t know that the Irish always take the side of the oppressed, then I’d like to welcome you to the planet earth.
You good, loyal dupes are just freedom fighters for the oppressed.
