Ireland is facing pressure for not cancelling their match with Israel. They shouldn't have to face this pressure, Israel should be banned, Russia have been banned for 4.5 years. Why aren't Israel banned?

Eric V1When a country genocides, then their sports teams are not allowed to play amongst the civilized countries.
Mars Firestein1obvious vs oblivious: yes. they must be banned. a good way to put pressure on governments committing crimes is to ban them from sports and entertainment opportunities. then their own people get involved. and start kicking up dust themselves. sad but true.

![Herzog later moved to Ireland and became a fluent Irish speaker. He was known as "the Sinn Féin Rabbi" for his support of the First Dáil and the Irish republican cause during the Irish War of Independence.[6] Herzog was involved with the Federation of Zionist Youth and Habonim Dror, the Zionist Labour movement, during his teenage years.[citation needed]
Rabbinic career
Herzog was ordained as a rabbi in 1910 by the Rabbi of Safad.[5][1] He served as rabbi of Belfast from 1915 to 1919[5] and was appointed rabbi at Dublin in 1919. He was a fluent Irish speaker.[citation needed] He served as Chief Rabbi of Ireland between either 1921[7] or 1925[5] and 1936. During his time in office, the Greenville Hall Synagogue was opened, and the Adelaide Road Synagogue extended. Herzog had positive relations with W. T. Cosgrave and was friendly with Éamon de Valera, who consulted him when he was designing the new Irish constitution. After Herzog's appointment in Palestine, a multi-party farewell event was arranged in Dublin's Mansion House.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fujsnmqkn7n4pcmd5ybt7jld/bafkreifh7jzw6uh36x4ceueg7glm5epz4nq7xkvalz3bgvufrbxitdhd6e)
