"Britain is committing genocide in gaza"
I actually know these fuckin dimwits as well
Talk about being ignorant on history
@ecksmc Well I say this and I am part Irish. Ireland has embarrassing history for WWII and antisemitism so should sit this one out.
@AnnetteTRemain not Irish though Scottish
Green brigade is a branch of Celtic F. C football club who have a long history of not only supporting Palestine by displaying banners and chanting songs but raisings hundreds if not millions of pounds that is meant for Gaza aid via the many charitable orgs - and we know that cast goes to hamas
The support dates way back well before this latest war beginning of the 2000 it dates back to
@ecksmc Interesting that its a football club. Wonder how that got started. The hamas thing. Odd thing for a football club.
Palestine is basically seen as a mirror image of Ireland and then, in turn, Celtic reflects Ireland in many ways.

@ecksmc I'm part that too but don't know enough about them to beat up on them. I can beat up England, Germany, Ireland, and the US.
