The Palestine flag protest that both Sky Sports and the BBC blanked

If you were watching the Hearts v Celtic match on Sky Sports or the highlights on the BBC you would have been completely unaware of the Palestine flag display from the Celtic support…

That protest, like the one that will be even bigger at Celtic Park on Wednesday night is about showing support for the people of Palestine and dismay at the actions of the Israeli Government as the body-count continues to rise.  It is NOT and never has been a protest against the people of Israel, including of course former Celtic Nir Bitton and current Celtic star Liel Abada.

You needn’t worry Liel, you will always will be loved by the Celtic support…

A club open to all. That’s what Celtic has always and will always continue to be. No matter what some moronic people try and claim about our club with their false propaganda. Some media outlets and rival supporters have been trying to despicably unsettle our wonderful Israeli winger Liel Abada by spreading outright disgusting false narratives.

Yes they are claiming that Liel won’t be welcome at our club due to his nationality. That is an outright  lie. One that has deeply upset the entire Celtic support, and rightly so.

They claim that because of Celtic supporters backing the Palestinian people we will snub Liel due to him being an Israeli. What a load of nonsense. Our support is for the oppressed Palestinian population, and we denounce the inhumane Israeli government, not the Israeli nationals.

That would be totally wrong and unacceptable. No one is responsible for their nation’s atrocities, if that were the case we wouldn’t welcome an English player into our side. Think about it. Liel Abada is no more responsible for the actions of the Israeli Government than Callum McGregor is for the UK’s Tory Government.

We welcome and respect anyone who pulls on the Hoops. We don’t discriminate against anyone due to colour, creed or nationality. That’s not in our thinking and never has been. We leave that hateful behaviour to other clubs’ supporters.

Folk will point to the criticism Nir Bitton received recently, but that was down to his  criticism of the Celtic  Brigade and nothing else and plenty of Celtic supporters also disagreed with that banner that the ultras group unfurled at the Kilmarnock game. That spat aside, Nir Bitton played for Celtic for near on a decade and was never at any stage subjected to any abuse due to his nationality. And during that time Palestine flags were flown at Celtic Park by supporters on a regular basis.

Liel is and always will be welcome at Celtic Park now and in the future, as indeed will Nir Bitton. This is something I’m sure he already knows, and when he returns from injury sometime in December is is sure to receive a  a terrific ovation from the entire Celtic support.

This week the Champions League returns and there will be Palestine flags flown at Celtic Park and presumably at other grounds around European football in support of a suppressed and defenceless people under fire from one of the most powerful military forces in the World.

Innocent people are dying, children slaughtered, it is heart-breaking. Our own Government in London seems to support this and in a democratic society people have a perfectly legitimate right to protest and Celtic understand that too – there has been no attempt by the club to frustrate the planned protect for Wednesday night which had a trial run at Tynecastle yesterday but was blanked by the broadcasters of Sky and BBC, both following their own agendas in doing that.

The display of the Palestinian flag by the Celtic support will be powerful and will be seen across the world. Perhaps the  Green Brigade should limited themselves to this rather than throw in another banner like the one that upset Nir Bitton and a very large percentage of the support at the Kilmarnock game?

It’s probably correct to say that the majority of the Celtic support will want to stand behind the flag of Palestine on Wednesday night but NOT behind another banner like that. If the Green Brigade  want to unite the support then they should consider that wee piece of friendly advice.

  1. Shades of green brigade here although they were supposed to be banned. I wonder who paid for and distributed these Palestinian flags. Are they totally stupid? Showing these flags is supporting terrorism in the shape of Hamas. If they genuinely felt for the Palestinian people they should make that known and should condemn Hamas. Make no mistake about it in the event of the war in the middle east escalating Palestinian, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon etc would all come out on the side of Russia and its allies. Israel stands alone out in the middle east and tensions are always there. The green brigade are not really interested in Palestine or its people they are only interested in promoting unrest. Hamas are a terrorist organisation and it is illegal to promote them in this country. Its time arrests were made as that’s the only deterrent that they understand. Celtic should also ban the green brigade as they are nothing but troublemakers for the sake of it. The spaces the leave will fill up no problem.

    • Total nonsense.
      What has a Palestinian flag got to do with Hamas?
      Your ignorance of facts is unbelievable.
      You should try and educate yourself rather than spout bullshit.
      There is a real whiff of hun coming from you.

      • Martin Blackshaw on

        Palestine is run by Hamas, hence flying the Palestinian flag, at least right now, is synonymous with support for Hamas. It’s not rocket science.

    • What utter right wing nonsense, as suggested by someone else, education would do you the world of good, maybe stop you posting tripe based on utter ignorance.

      • Martin Blackshaw on

        From the October 2023 Economist article ‘How powerful is Hamas’: “…In 2006, a year after Israel withdrew from Gaza, Hamas won a majority of seats in a Palestinian election and later formed a new unity government with Fatah, its nationalist rival. In June 2007, after a brief civil war, it assumed sole control of Gaza, leaving Fatah to run the Palestinian Authority (pa) in the West Bank…”

        From a Freedom House article ‘Gaza Strip: Freedom in the World 2020 Country Report’, dated October 2023: “Since 2007, Gaza has functioned as a de facto one-party state under Hamas rule..”

        • I’ve no doubt that Hamas have some support with Palestinians, terrorism tends to happen when the people have been treated like shite , and in the Palestinians case, since after the second world war.
          Just look at the map of Palestine in 1945 and the current map.
          History is littered with instances of people being treated like 2nd class citizens before they finally have enough.

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            I don’t deny the plight of the Palestinian people, but Celtic Park is not the place for geopolitics. Flag waving is pathetic and will alter nothing, though it will bring the reputation of the club into disrepute. Let the politicians and diplomats sort out the Palestinian question along with so many other persecutions of peoples around the globe, such as the Catholics and Ughurs in China, the oppression of the people of Hong Kong, etc., etc.

  2. Martin Blackshaw on

    The banner they displayed immediately after the Hamas terror attrocity in Israel, during which, among other evil acts, we’re told a baby was beheaded, was beyond words. “Victory to the Resistance”, it read, and it was not written in a spirit of humanitarian concern. It was written out of hatred and to incite political unrest and anarchy. Champions of the oppressed or Communist? Please!

    I happen to sympathise with the Palestinian people because I think they’ve had a raw deal from Israel for a long time. I also lament so many deaths now in Gaza, which shows that the innocent on both sides always suffer for the political and/or military agitation and objectives of their overseers. That region of the Middle East is under the control of non-Christian forces, both of which advocate vengeance in response to real or imagined acts of evil perpetrated against them. The Christian method is far more measured and far more forgiving, like in the examples of priests recently beheaded by Islamic extremists while celebrating Mass in towns and villages in France. It is not the Christian way to exact vengeance for evil done, which is why the conflict between Israel and Palestine will never be resolved until the Christian influence once again becomes the dominant one in that region. Until that time, God’s good time, we can only deplore the suffering on both sides and seek to mitigate it by international diplomacy. These agitators with their childish flags will not bring about peace because it’s not their aim. Their aim is to agitate and incite more unrest, resentment, violence and conflict while hiding behind the banner of “champions of the oppressed”. It’s a classic Marxist tactic and I cannot believe that so many otherwise intelligent people can’t see through it.

    The Celtic Board apparently can’t see through it or they would have m,oved immediately to root these infiltrators out of sport. Such are the times of blindness we’re living through and it’s set to get much worse. The Board may eventually act when the club is internationally disgraced and suffers further penalties for its toleration of anarchy.

    • Why have you a problem with Marx?
      A man who wanted equality.
      Looks like you have a problem with that, and for a guy who preaches Christianity you are a hypocrite.

      • Martin Blackshaw on

        I have a problem with Marx because the Catholic Church has a problem with him. He pretended to champion equality but only succeeded in bringing suffering and death to millions under the old Soviet regimes. If you were educated in history, especially the history of Communism (especially Marxism), you would know this. You would also know that Marx was Jewish, not Palestinian. and that Marx was not his real name. Marx’s stated ultimate aim was to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth, including true Christian charity. Your Green (Red) Brigade are just more of those uneducated “useful idiots” he named as furthering his cause. Ask any Eastern European about the lives of their families under the Soviet regime and they’ll tell you that Palestine is a holiday camp in comparison.

        • Martin, brilliant as always. The only voice of reason here. Let us not forget why the Palestinians are an “oppressed” people. Could it be because they refuse every single opportunity they are given to act as civilized people? Just recently, Gazan citizens were granted work permits in Israel – over 18k I believe. But yet, they will continually vote terror organizations into power. Why, because the Koran demands that the Jews be subjugated and killed everywhere. These are not just some bullied and discriminated against minority. They are animals who need to be kept in check lest they carry out Holocaust Pt. II. Oh yeah, I guess the Green Brigade forgot that bit of history. Does the GB not find it funny that no other country in the Middle East will accept Palestinian refugees? The GB continually makes Celtic supporters out to look like morons. It’s time to revoke their season books. Their support of every group that hates the Catholic Church is just mind boggling. Bro. Walfrid is spinning in his grave.

          • Kevin
            Can I ask what country you currently live in and if you were born in said country?
            If so, did you have to apply fir a work permit to work in it?

          • Kevin
            Of course you are correct about extreme sections in the Kpran but are strangely silent about extreme sections in the bible.
            Probaly just slipped your mind…..

        • ‘.. Ask any Eastern European about the lives of their families under the Soviet regime and they’ll tell you that Palestine is a holiday camp in comparison..’ you usually spout crap but this is your most pathetic yet.
          You are a classic pub bore.
          Marx’s was an atheist and his ‘opium of the masses’ comment was due to his opinion that people seek comfort in religion and that religion suppresses emancipatory politics, thereby preventing the masses from revolting against those in power.
          To blame him for what happened in Russia is pathetic, even for you.
          I never questioned his nationality or his real name, so you are going off on a wild tangent.
          On your hatred for communism, you ignore the wars fought and the many millions killed under capitalism.
          Your obsession is bordering on hysterical.

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            Ever heard of Marxist-Leninism? That was the pre-eminent ideology that toppled the Tsar in Russia and established a Communist regime in his place. Unless you are completely uneducated, you must know this. Of course, there was a bit of Trotskyism, Hessism, Engleism and Bronsteinism thrown in, hence all the various Communist/Socialist factions at war with each other throughout the history of the Soviet Union. All, as you rightly state, were atheists, which is why tens of millions of Christians in particular were singled out for specific torture and death in the USSR. A conservatively estimated death toll of Christians under Stalin’s leadership alone is 40 million.

            Marx also influenced the ideology of 19th century Zionism, which has been very influencial in the political affairs of Israel since the State’s foundation in 1948.

            So when you hail Marx as a champion of the oppressed, following his principles on behalf of the people of Palestine, it is tragically ironic that you actually idolise one of the main influencers of atheistic Zionism in the world.

            This is where ignorance leads, especially when the wise teaching of the Popes is despised or disregarded.

            My final word to you, then, is to re-think the madness of your secularist political activism, which is not new to the world and always results in chaos.

            Before doing the re-think, however, read what the Popes had to say on the deadly poison Communist Socialism and anarchy represents to civilization.

            To this end, Google the Encyclical Letters of Popes Leo XIII, Pius IX, Pius X, Pius XI & Pius XII. These were the Popes who treated of this revolutionary atheism from its foundation in 1789 France through to modern times.

            If you do not wish to educate yourself by proper study of the political activism you spout here, then at least do the decent thing and refrain from further angry outbursts that have historical illiteracy stamped all over them.

  3. Remeber Celtic board did not ban green bigade or any supporter at motherwell and other away grounds i have wittnessed Cektic supporters trying to force doors open doubling up at turnstyles some of it looks well rehearsed i and manypaying supporters have complained that these people not just teenagers it puts us in danger police and stewards find it hard to disquish the paying supporter to the nonpaying must say some stewards are over agressive which upsets supporters thats why Celtic took the action they have Celtic board dont want to stop people going to games they know what would happen if there is an major accident so if you have a seasonbook read the rukes at the back cause if you get it taken away its gone and your are at fault for listening to trouble makers Celtic dont want to lose you but if you keep embarrasing them by going on to pitches fircing doors pyorotechnic flares not supporting palestine as the media are trying to make out if its costing club money with eufa fines stop it noyhing to stop it outside the ground

    • Jack
      Impossible to read without full stops.
      It kind of defeats the purpose if your idea is that you want people to read it.

    • Martin Blackshaw on

      Jack,

      You may not present the best written English in the world, as some have rudely noted, but your common sense is streets ahead of those who think they’re clever.

        • Martin Blackshaw on

          Palestine is run by Hamas, hence flying the Palestinian flag, at least right now, is synonymous with support for Hamas. It’s not rocket science.

          • ‘..Palestine is run by Hamas..’ In your warped imagination.

            ‘..hence flying the Palestinian flag, at least right now, is synonymous with support for Hamas..’ in your warped and sick imagination

  4. As for the banner, what do people think the Palestinian people have been doing to survive these past 70 years, in the face of genocide and ethnic cleansing?, they have been resisting ofc!.
    The banner did not say ‘kill all Jews’, as a lot seem to be implying, but stood along side statements like ‘no pasaran’ for me.

    • Martin Blackshaw on

      It’s intersting, and telling, that you quote Isidora Dolores Ibárruri Gómez, a leading Communist voice in the Spanish Revolution funded by Stalin. She was the one who notoriously used the slogan “No Pasarán!” (They shall not pass) during the battle for Madrid in 1936. Of course, the Catholic forces overcame these revolutionaries despite huge recruitment to their ranks from oversees anarchists, a significant number of whom were Jewish from the US and Protestant Scots.

      Read the book “Catholic Martyrs of the Spanish Civil War” if you want a new perspective on what the Revolution was actually about; who financed it and why.

      You’ll find in that book the historically-recorded murder of 13 Bishops, 4,172 diocesan priests and seminarians, 2,364 monks and friars and 283 nuns. The numbers are conservative but include such harrowing stories as the priest who had his teeth smashed in by a Communist Revolutionary and his rosary beads forced down his throat, a priest who was stabbed to death, stripped naked and hung upside down in a butcher shop with a sign pinned to him reading “fresh meat”, and some nums who had their feet strapped to horses, their hair set on fire and the horses whiped to bolt at full speed.

      It is clear that you have a completely modern and revisionist knowledge of the Spanish Revolution, one which I would expect from the Ibrox loyal rather than the Parkhead faithful. Crazy world!

      • Martin
        Your right wing racist rants and blinkered views are more in tune with the huns way of thinking.

        • Martin Blackshaw on

          Other, wiser people, practicing Catholics are reading these comments and that’s all that interests me. It’s clear you’re an atheist and a political activist, so I have nothing further to say to you.

        • Martin Blackshaw on

          I’m not any wing, I’m Catholic! However, if anti-Marxism and anti-anarachy is “right wing” then yes, I am right wing, thank God.

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            Catholicism has never taught tolerance of error. Quite the opposite, in fact. Those who preach blanket tolerance are simply indifferent people with no values or principles.

          • Football rivalry.
            I don’t claim to be a Catholic while portraying myself as having no Catholic tolerance.
            I call them the huns, they will always be the huns to me.

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            Well, I’m more tolerant of my fellow human beings. That’s the difference between a Catholic and an atheist.

  5. The banner didn’t say ‘kill all Jews’ but it Implied it supported this exact cause. To hold a banner ‘victory to the resistance’ on the day of these atrocities comes across as if the green brigade are supportive of killing Israeli Jewish civilians in the most horrific ways. It’s alright to say we are welcoming Nir, Liel or any other Israeli or Jewish supporters to parkhead but it doesn’t really feel very welcoming. If anything it feels the complete opposite. There is a degree of gaslighting from the part of green brigade to claim otherwise.

    Martin
    You obviously have issues and I hope that you are getting the best care, all I can say is that your hatred is clouding your judgement.
    You are preaching the opposite of the Christianity that you are ranting about.
    Stalin is alleged to have been responsible for between 6-9 deaths, a horrific number.
    Britain was responsible for an estimated 30 million deaths in India and Britain for over 1 million deaths in the Irish genocide. Both instances came from a country ardently capitalist.
    Ii’s strange that there is no mention of this from you but i’m sure it just slipped your mind.
    However your 40 million Russian deaths is fantasy, as is Karl Marx changing his name.
    I could literally go through your whole rant and pick holes in every part of it.
    You praised past popes as wise, you are aware of the crusades aren’t you, and what their part in them was?
    Again i’m sure it just slipped your mind though.
    Take care Martin and I wish you you well in your future health.

    • Martin Blackshaw on

      No, I know alll about the crusades and the mass murder of Christians in the region that led to them. But that’s a whole different discussion and you clearly are not historically literate. Either that or you’re historically dishonest. End of conversation! Let the reasonable fans who read the comments decide between my factual evidence and your recycled falsehoods.

      • You mean it doesn’t suit your right wing fascist agenda.
        A Catholic you say?!1
        Don’t make me laugh.
        You have no Catholic valiues.
        None whatsover.
        But you are a religious nut.

  7. Martin Blackshaw on

    Karl Marx’ real name was Karl Levi. His father changed the family name because Trier on the Rhineland at that time had begun to roll back freedoms the Jews had been enjoying since the French Revolution. His father was denied a university post because he was from a long line of Rabbis, so he “converted” to Christianity and the family name was changed to Marx.

    As regards British Capitalism and its abuses, you will find those evils ably set out and deplored in the Papal Encyclicals I cited earlier. But since you despise the teaching of the Popes, there’s not much point in debating that point much further. Your detestation of the Church makes me wonder if you’re actually a Rangers fan rather than a Celtic fan. It’s very odd and hostile for someone who supports essentially a club with Catholic roots.

    • So you are making up lies.
      Karl Marx didn’t change his name.
      I have no time for liars
      That’s pathetic.
      Get a life Martin

        • Lets say he did, which he didnt, who genuinely gives a shit?
          You are obsessed, absolutely paranoid.
          A complete nut job.

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            Truth is, the real “nut jobs” are the Marxist anarchists who have infiltrated the Celtic support for nefarious ends. I think a lot of people are catching on to that now and I think the Celtic Board will be forced to root these political activists out. My hope is that the government will ban political agitation from within sport, which most folk go to enjoy and unwind from the pressures of the week.

      • Martin Blackshaw on

        Not sure if the link I posted is permitted here, so here’s the quote from the “Jews of the world unite” website quoting the historical context of Marx’s name change.

        “On his mother’s side he was descendant of a Dutch dynasty of rabbis. Marx was a 100% Jew whose father, Herschl Halevi, was forced to convert in order to make a living as a lawyer, therefore he also changed his last name to Marx, and the rest is history.”

    • What a total bore you are.
      As I said, the ultimate pub bore.
      Yawn.
      You are a cure for insomnia.
      But very twisted and warped.
      Some popes in the past were truly horrible people.
      The Vatican even had its own army!
      It was all politics.
      I have nothing against any religion, its only the hard core nut jobs like yourself in all religions that I have a problem with.
      It is frightening that there are looneys like yourself walking about when you should be sectioned for yourself and everyone else’s safety.

      • Martin Blackshaw on

        “Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.”

        So said Jean Jacques Rousseau, an atheist like yourself.

        • No, you are a nut job who should be sectioned.
          I believe in science, as you seem keen on quotes and supposed facts can you provide any scientific proof that god existed?
          You seem to be the most unchristian christian out there, as you have no respect and tolerance for other religions and non believers, so this is your opportunity to put me in my place

          • Martin Blackshaw on

            Yes, I could provide mountains of truth, but I will not waste my time with a wilfully blind individual. I have too much experience with people who deny God rather than confront their bad consciences to know I’d be wasting my time.

            You’re right about my intolerance, though. I have absolutely zero tolerance for religious and/or moral error. As the old Catholic adage goes “hate the sin, love the sinner”. People who tolerate anything and everything are empty vessels who ultimately serve only themselves. From a moral societal point of view, they’re smiling assassins

      Glad to read that the Celtic Board is finally starting to take serious action against this Red Brigade. Its members are now barred from pre-match entrance to Celtic Park before the CL game tomorrow and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of the end for these anarchists. Well done the Board!

      • Very happy to hear this. And Chris, one more thing. The Christian Bible / Torah advocated for the Jews to leave Egypt, and enter into the land of milk and honey – now Israel and clear out the tribes there. Once they took control, that was it. No move violence except in self-defense.

        The Koran advocates for never-ending war until all apostates/unbelievers have either been converted or killed. Especially for the Jews.

        Another. There is no such thing historically as a Palestinian. They are Arabs plain and simple who occupied jewish territory. (as did many others). They are no more indigenous to that land than the British were to Ireland mate.

        • So you believe made up stories in the bible and Koran then?
          How much relevance do you take from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings?
          You are wrong about who occupied the middle east first, it was descendants of Palestinians.
          That koran and the bible are both bloodthirsty and the nutjobs who imagined the stories probably couldn’t believe their luck that centuries later marks like you and Martin actually pay relevance to them.
          Martin couldn’t come up with one single piece of scientific evidence to prove any of the stories and people named in the bible.
          Kind of says it all.
          Tell me, do you really believe in Noahs Ark, Adam and Eve, and that the earth was created in 7 days?
          If you do, I have a foreign bank account with 30 million foreign currency and if you give me your account number I will give you half of it.

    Well, I’m more tolerant of my fellow human beings. That’s the difference between a Catholic and an atheist.

    Tolerant!
    You are an ignoramus with severe mental issues who has hate for everything except what you believe.
    You are a cancer

    I don’t deny the plight of the Palestinian people, but Celtic Park is not the place for geopolitics. Flag waving is pathetic and will alter nothing, though it will bring the reputation of the club into disrepute. Let the politicians and diplomats sort out the Palestinian question along with so many other persecutions of peoples around the globe, such as the Catholics and Ughurs in China, the oppression of the people of Hong Kong, etc., etc

    Is this a joke?
    All you have done is criticise the Palestinians on here.
    You criticise anything you dont believe in.
    You are the biggest hypocrite on here.
