How about keeping passport-holders of a state that cloned our diplomatic identities, and endangered our citizens travelling abroad by using them for a terrorist assassination, before going on to hijack an Irish humanitarian aid ship to a population being ethnically cleansed by the most high-tech militarist theocracy in history, out?And their 'diplomats'.
Or how about:- keep your childish game of kicking a ball of air round a field to children who dont act like schoolyard bullies(nuclear tipped)and use sport as a political football to achieve normalisation of international relations as if they are not in breach of more UN resolutions than the rest of the planet together,even as they never cease to invoke international law to serve their own ultra-nationalist expansionary ends?
Your beautiful game is NOT more important than life and death.
Or dont you value your own and fellow fans safety when they travel to away games?
''Keep your politics out of out club. Stop trying to hijack the match with your rent a crowd.''
Actually Rob, our club supports this action. Who are you exactly?
One of the leaflets from the IPSC given out prior to last nights game is posted at http://wp.me/pDoVn-2pk
Its a fold out Palestinian Flag with instructions.
Did anyone try to disrupt the match, or even wave a flag at the Israelis?
Well done on the protest. Its important that such events dont pas by unnoticed.
Rob, politics is it? I’m afraid not - it’s a matter of human rights, the sort of rights you take so much for granted that you are probably not even aware just how wonderfully free you are to enjoy supporting your club. If you lived in occupied Palestine under the cosh of heavily armed, trigger-happy interlopers who can and do murder, maim and terrorise with impunity you might just understand why it is important for the international community to boycott Israel and refuse to cooperate with it in all sporting, cultural and economic spheres until such time as the Israeli government respects international law and ends it deadly occupation and subjugation of the indigenous people of Palestine. As Israeli military personnel can freely enter this country without being screened for complicity in war crimes or crimes against humanity the players on the Israeli team may well be war criminals, guilty of gross human rights violations in Lebanon or Gaza.
People who think that sport is interesting are forgotten immediately as soon as the game is over..
Another Leaflet has been posted from the protest outside the match . An IPSC "Boycott Israeli Apartheid" one. Explains a bit about the Palestinian Football Federation and the Issues it encounters whilst trying to go about its normal business.

The reaction of some of the Rovers support was puerile in the extreme, very precious about their return to Europe and some displaying a fascistic intolerance of any element of politics into sport. Some morons even had the gall to ask where IPSC support was when the KRAM campaign was on. I was a Rovers supporter at the time (now lapsed into supporting no-one in particular) and saw plenty of the boycott at Tolka, gave Kilcoyne plenty of abuse and had to attend so-called "home" games at Dalymount, Inchicore, RDS etc over the years. But to equate the slaughter in Palestine with the campaign to save Milltown was idiotic in the extreme. And I don't recall a big campaign by Rovers fans or anyone else when Aherns diktat mixed politics into sport by leaning on the FAI to cancel the Euro qualifer V Yugoslavia in 1999 to support NATO's bombing campaign.
Also some tetchy clowns claim to have revised their support of Palestine because of this action, somehow I doubt the IPSC will notice the loss. When their supporters quote the spewings of fool like Ian O'Doherty to back them up, it makes me wonder how the previously solid Rovers support seem to have developed a small but loud pondlife element in their ranks.
