Gavin Bazunu statement on withdrawing from Ireland squad

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them

Peter Norman knew it would be weird for him to participate in a black power salute because he was a white Australian bloke, so he wore a little Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in solidarity. The way he was treated after this extremely careful, mild gesture was an utter disgrace.

Gov and FAI could be stepping in at this stage to say: "the players are obviously deeply concerned about this - these young men cannot be forced to play - the game is off - and UEFA can see us in court if they dare" Chances of that happening? #StopTheGame

The worst part is that the players will now live forever knowing the official line is that they “voted” to play. It should never have been in their hands. But this will be the way it’s forever remembered. Horrible.

Corkman in West Bank village Umm al-Khair reports back. Footage he captured included the view from a teenage girl’s window as settlers shone torches to prevent her from sleeping. Another clip shows a Palestinian woman being kicked by a man as she desperately tries to protect her vegetable patch.

In 1933, a retirement home for Jewish people opened at Lützowstrasse 48/49 in Berlin, a place for them to live their remaining days in dignity. In 1939, it was taken over by the Nazis, who turned it into a propaganda office for HItler's Schutzstaffel - better known as the SS. (1/n)

Billionaires are tax at 8 %, but they can write off 100% of private jets, heavy equipment, Millions in business expenses, Millions to billions in losses, unrealized gains. As a result they get huge return. IF billionaires were tax a flat 30% the US would collect about $200 billion per year extra.

🔴 Gaza: Three cancer patients are dying every day in Gaza, where about 11,000 people are living with cancer, including 4,000 who urgently need medical evacuation, according to Dr. Saleh Sheikh Al-Eid, head of the Oncology and Blood Department at Nasser Medical Complex.

Al-Eid said cancer patients are “waiting for death” as the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system and severe shortages of medicines leave doctors unable to provide lifesaving care.

He said medical teams have been forced to rely on outdated treatment protocols because chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and even low-cost essential medicines are unavailable. 

Al-Eid added that displacement, malnutrition, and life in overcrowded tents have further worsened patients’ conditions.
