Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Netanyahu sounded delusional at a largely empty UN where many delegates walked out
Irish representative remained for address which ignored Gaza horrors and painted Israel as a moral champion

It's up to the players now. Most people do not want Ireland to play against genocidal Israel. Any players that take a stand to not play would be supported in a similar way to the artists who acted in support of Macklemore.

I know the sweet sum of FA about GAA but when the former President of Ireland resigns from an integration committee because of misogynists slow walking the process you only prove her point by the absolutely sexist misogynistic criticism of her principled decision.
