The Aporia
200 protesters gathered near Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Thursday, demanding that Ireland boycott its upcoming Nations League soccer match against Israel due to the conflict in Gaza. The demonstrators held banners and urged the Football Association of Ireland to cancel the fixture. Some protesters supported goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, who had previously withdrawn from an Ireland match against Israel over ethical concerns. The rematch between Ireland and Israel is scheduled for Sunday but will take place in Serbia, behind closed doors.
