Yeah, well, Gary Murphy in The Sunday Times makes a similar point to Owen on why Qatar, you know, has not been treated like this.
And I'd also add on to that list Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where in the same region, 150,000 women and children starved in the war.
And there isn't a word about boycotting them.
And yet, but, you know, and it's the same, by the way, in Sudan, where a proxy civil war has been funded on both sides by Saudi Arabia and UAE.
And I don't choose between victims.
I don't rank one set of victims above another set of victims.
So I do think that we should be looking...
at all of these wars, and why are we elevating one particular state above another?
But Gary's piece... Why do you think we are?
Well, I put that question directly to Ivana Bacik at the McGill Summer School last year.
Why do some deaths matter more than others?
And she did say that she had said things about Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but ultimately she said, because it's Israel.
You know, it's who's doing the killing is getting the attention rather than who is being killed.
But in Gary's piece in the Sunday Times, he's talking as well about the problem the FAI has.
There's always been a huge amount of support for the Palestinians in Ireland.
