Calls grow to stop Ireland's football match against Israel
Original: # blog "Ireland’s second game with Israel must now be stopped" https:// electronicintifada.net/blogs/d avid-cronin/irela
A blog on Electronic Intifada by David Cronin argues that Ireland's upcoming football fixture against Israel must now be cancelled, amid ongoing controversy over Israel's participation in international sport. The piece names Football Association of Ireland figures including Paul Cooke and goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, and references ambassador Dana Erlich, UEFA, and Israeli officials. Debate over whether matches with Israel should go ahead continues to divide fans and officials.
Why now: Ongoing anger over the war in Gaza is fuelling campaigns to bar Israel from international football fixtures.
