‘Standing up for Palestinians’: why Greta Thunberg wears a Bohemian FC shirt

The Swede has has not necessarily become a fan of Irish football, as she sports a club jersey made with help from Fontaines DC

‘Standing up for Palestinians’: why Greta Thunberg wears a Bohemian FC shirt.

The humanitarian aid flotilla to Gaza is a serious mission with an incongruous detail: Greta Thunberg sporting a jersey of the Dublin football club Bohemians.

The Swedish activist wore the pale blue shirt during an earlier flotilla in June and again this week as vessels prepared to leave Barcelona.

However, the garment does not necessarily signify interest in football or support for the club, currently second in the League of Ireland Premier Division. It is a limited-edition jersey intended to rally funds and solidarity for Gaza.

Bohemians, a north Dublin side better known as Bohs, collaborated with the Dublin rock group Fontaines DC to make the jersey. It mixes Irish and Palestinian motifs and has raised more than €200,000 (�173,000) for the UK-based charity Medical Aid for Palestinians.

A veteran Irish activist, Caoimhe Butterly, gave the shirt to Thunberg on the flotilla that sailed in June. Israeli forces intercepted the vessels before they could deliver aid to the besieged Palestinian territory, where nearly 65,000 people have died and famine is spreading.

Israel used to lie about killing journalists; now it barely bothers to do so. What happened?

The ‘most moral army in the world’ has killed at least 248 journalists in Gaza, seemingly without any shame.

Terror attack in Jerusalem.

Six killed by Palestinian gunmen at Jerusalem bus stop

Israeli police say two gunmen were killed after the attack, which was one of the deadliest in the city in years.

Its almost comedic that Israeli spokesman were on media today asking the world which side we are on ....the terrorists or Israel ......its interchangeable u complete fools

Staggering

Given the wrecking of gaza and the bombs on children I am surprised there havnt been more " terrorist " attacks on Israel

They just bombed Doha in Qatar, where negotiations were taking place.

Enough is enough. Ban them from all international bodies like Russia and beyond Russia's sanctions. Words are not enough, and if governments won't act, they will reap the consequences of inaction.

Yet if in a few weeks a bus gets ambushed and 2 Israelis die ....dreadful though that is ......Netanyahu will be asking the world if we support him or hamas

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel

Rory Stewart has just asked what’s the difference between what Israel has done today and, say, India attacking Sri Lanka because Pakistani leaders were visiting that country. It’s a very fair point.

India and Pakistan are on a more even footing, so neither side could get away with doing to each other what Israel is doing to Palestine. Even though Qatar are a bigger fish, it's not going to be enough to overcome the overwhelming lobbying power of Israel, and the US will end up talking down Qatar. The US and UK are trying to give some illusion that they think this has gone too far to ride the tide of popular sentiment, but in reality, they won't ever dare to punish or reprimand Israel.

The next time they suffer any sort of backlash out will come the violins
