Israeli soccer players do not make government policy so why are people are going to protest against them? Also, the Irish fans who went to the game in Israel a few months were treated extremely well with a number of them saying it was their best away trip ever. Also, did any Israelis at that game protest against any of Ireland's policies e.g. the opening of Shannon Airport to the US war planes on their way to bomb Iraq? Or maybe that has nothing to do with sport.
