Ireland v Israel match draws calls to stop the game
Original: # Football is one of the things I care the least in my life. But this deserves some respect. # irelandvisrael # GavinBaz
Ahead of Ireland's football match against Israel, some fans are voicing support for a boycott under the banner 'stop the game', tying the fixture to the Free Palestine movement. Posts reference Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and the hashtag Ireland v Israel. Commenters say that even people who normally ignore football believe the match deserves attention, with some arguing it should not go ahead at all given the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Why now: The Ireland v Israel fixture is prompting debate over whether the game should be played amid the Israel-Gaza war.
