Bohemian FC thank Greta Thunberg for wearing their kit during aid mission | Ireland
The fleet of humanitarian aid to Gaza is a serious task with an incompatible detail: Greta Thunberg is doing a jersey of the Dublin Football Club Bohemians.
The Swedish activist wore a pale blue shirt during a previous fleet in June and again this week on ships that are preparing to leave Barcelona.
However, the garment does not have to indicate its interest in support for the second football or club in the Irish League Premier Department. A limited number of uniforms aiming to achieve funds and solidarity for Gaza.
Bohemians, a North Dublin side, known as Bohs, collaborated with the Dublin Rock group Fontaines DC to make Jersey. Ireland and Palestinian motifs combine and the UK -based charity institution gathered more than € 200,000 (£ 173,000) for medical assistance for Palestinians.
Caoimhe Butterly, an experienced Irish activist, gave the shirt to Thunberg on the fleet that sails in June. The Israeli forces seized the ships before giving assistance to the Palestinian territory, where approximately 65,000 people were killed and famine spread.
Thunberg wore the shirt again in interviews before leaving Monday after the delays caused by bad weather conditions. After taking a break in Tunisia, it is to continue his journey and try to overcome the Israeli blockade.
Bohemia, standing for the Palestinians in the face of Israel’s genocide, it is of great importance for many Bohemian members and supporters, so we are grateful to see this small club by wearing our jersey on the way to Greta’s invoice, ”he said.
“We praise Greta and everyone traveling on the latest fleet for the courage to stand for the rights and dignity of the Palestinians in the face of Israel’s unimaginable atrocities.”
Israel rejects the genocide charges and said that the war in Gaza was an attempt to release Hamas, who attacked Southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped 250 people. This week, the world’s leading Genocide Scholars Association said that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime. UN Secretary General António Guterres said Gaza famine is a “human -made disaster”.
Thunberg’s wearing the uniform was pleased with the Irish activists, and will probably increase the perceptions of Irish – the government, artists and at least one football club – enemies to the Jewish state.
Bohemians fans This has gained a reputation for social advocacy by defending the Palestinians in the West Bank under the occupied West Bank, as well as marginal groups in Ireland. Last year, he hosted a friendly with the Palestinian National Women’s Team in Dalymount Park.
Fontaines DC, like the Irish Rap triple kneeling, made discussions using cheers and posters to condemn Israel during concerts. In 2023, the group made a limited number of shirts with Bohemians to collect money for a West Bank Sports Project and started the second shirt this summer.
A embroidered skirt label, the Palestinian Flag and the Irish for the “Free Palestine ,, has the expression of Don Phalaistín. The words üm I thought it was love ”, which is one of the group’s songs, were pressed around the neck.
The club also released a shirt that honored Suleyman Al-Obeid, a footballer known as the Palestinian Palestinian Pelé ,, who was killed in the near future. The profits will go to his family.
In December 2023, Israel closed his embassy in Dublin in December 2023, claiming that Ireland was following “anti -Israeli policies”. Pro-Israel invented the term “paddystine ve in order to despise Ireland, and asked the Irish activists to adopt the term Paddystinian as a badge of honor.
