Letter: Ireland's heartfelt support for the Gaza people is intense - no sacrifice is too small
A letter from S Wilson:
The Republic’s apparent hand-wringing over whether or not to play Israel in the upcoming Nations League football is very telling.
Clearly their heartfelt support for the Gaza people is intense, sincere and will always be vocal - or at least until the prospect of being denied a whole six points in a football tournament becomes a possibility.
I’m sure the poor suffering Palestinians will realise just what a big ‘ask’ it would have been for Ireland to miss this match and lose points, especially so soon after them having to forgo the Eurovision Song Contest.
Surely they must be truly grateful for Ireland’s unbending support – though perhaps it is dawning on them that in the land of the virtue-signaller – no sacrifice is too small.
S Wilson, Magheralin
