Irish women's basketball team refuses to shake hands with Israel.
That's not being sportive, so, they were beaten. Israel went on to win 87-57. That's by a lot girls. Oh well ! Maybe next year?

Israel coach Drucker insisted that Ireland got what it deserved for their pre- and postgame behavior.

"I've been in sports for many years; I have never seen such things in my life," Drucker was quoted as saying in the Israel Basketball Federation's official match report.

"There was no game where you don't give concessions, shake hands, congratulate each other. They took a step on an absolute way, and they received their punishment today."

Israel's captain Eden Rotberg added: "It was much more than a victory. It became personal. It was hard for me to see them being disrespectful during the anthem; sport should be outside of politics and it hasn't been recently with the Irish."

Ireland is scheduled to host Israel in the return fixture on November 10.

On the day the Israelis amass a total of 29,000 dead Palestinians (and rising) in Gaza there should not even have been a game at all.

BDS.

Is that why its mentioned ''the luck of the Irish?'' Luck can not remain forever!

'' Do not forget that Eire remained 'neutral' in WW2, they chose not to take up arms against Hitler's Nazi Germany.'' As time has passed I had not known that about the Irish. No sympathy there now for me!

No surprise there Balan, Anti-Semitism is on the rise again, they're crawling out from under their stones. Do not forget that Eire remained 'neutral' in WW2, they chose not to take up arms against Hitler's Nazi Germany, draw your own conclusions from that.

Here we go again sinkov. Mention Netanyahu and his bunch of IDF death squads are butchering innocent women and kids and we are all anti-Semitic.

In the IDF there is not a blood-lined Semite amongst them.

Is it any wonder the civilized world is aghast?

Yes Eire did remain neutral but 46665 Irish men volunteered and fought for the Allies. 5000 of them were killed. In Palestine the Stern gang continued its attacks on British personnel and installations but Irgun and Lehi ( other Jewish terrorist groups) suspended their attacks when the war started until Feb1944 when they resumed and continued until the British with drew. They included the assassinations of Lord Moyne and Count Bernadotte who late in the war had rescued 31000 Jews, their hangings of British sergeants Martin and Paice, the blowing up of the St David's hotel which killed 91 people. About 30 were Britiish and some were Jews. O f course de Valera had his reasons for declaring neutrality, the Irish had been trying to escape British rule for hundreds of years, and so did the leader of the Irgun Menachem Begin who wanted unrestricted immigration of Jews into Palestine which the Palestinians did not want. Sometimes one can't condone events but can understand why they happen.

Is that from Beano's weekly liar? On the day the Israelis amass a total of 29,000 dead Palestinians (and rising) in Gaza

BT: Its not worth it to shoot dead 29,000 (dead Palestinians,) and that's in one day. Good grief!!! Can they bury them all in one day?
what happens if they shoot them on a Friday??( that's their holy day! ) If they were dead? Where they not buried?? Could they have risen from the dead??
I would like to know who is counting them?

( On October 7, five family members were kidnapped from the safe room of their home in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak: Gabriela Leimberg and her daughter Mia returned to Israel from captivity in the hostage deal together with Clara Marman; Now, Clara's brother, Fernando, and her partner, Louis, have also returned.)
