Considering it's Champions League that'll probably be the least racist thing happening at the match
You're not allowed to discuss conspiracy theories on mmo-champion, which makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.

There's a long tradition of support for Palestine at celtic, it's not a new thing. Probably due to the celtic belief in resisting occupation and imperialism as in Ireland.

There is nothing wrong with that. It is a matter of politics, and the fans of celtic are totally free to have, and show, their opnion about some political dispute. I don't think anything will happend over this, since it has happend before with celtic, and many other clubs, who have faced teams from Israel.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.

By the way.
Arabs including Palestinians are Semitic. Much more so than most Jews.
So if you are pro-Palestine you by default can't really be anti-Semitic, time for us to update our terminology.
You could be called anti-zionist. That's like being an Islamophobe. Which is not racist.
Plus. Semites are White.

I'm not sure exactly how this is news. An increasingly portion of the public has taken a pro Palestine stance in that political issue.

The reason it's news is because msm would pretend there is no support for Palestine or I'm some cases that it never existed. It's also worth showing to let people know there is support and sympathy out there. Originally Posted by Djalil

The other team should all have pro Israeli flags to counter it.

This is the club that sings songs and chants supporting the IRA from the terraces every Saturday. They have a long tradition of supporting terrorism but the police in Scotland are entirely impotent to do anything about it.

So FC Barcelona fans are not allowed to fly the catalonian independence flag for political reasons but this is allowed?

Hey, Scottish police do very important work against the REAL threat of online mean comments. /s Originally Posted by gypsybob

Glasgow rangers aka the other team in Glasgow often do fly Israeli flags as does the edl and Britain first. There is a tradition of Israeli funding for nationalist right wing groups. Originally Posted by ParanoiD84

As do Sevco. Also they're not impotent and are trying to reduce sectarianism on both sides of the Glasgow divide. Originally Posted by gypsybob
