Dublin: The "Green Brigade" fan group of Celtic FC launched a "show Israel the red card" campaign in response to Israel's occupation of Palestine and attacks on Gaza, with supporters of Ireland's Bohemian FC joining in solidarity. During the 4th week of the Irish Premier League, when Bohemian FC hosted Drogheda United, fans protested Israel's actions in Gaza by displaying "red cards."

According to Anadolu Agency, at the 1-0 victory for Drogheda United at Dalymount Park in Dublin, Bohemian fans raised Palestinian flags, displayed red cards, and chanted calls for UEFA and FIFA to take action against Israel in competitions. The campaign has garnered worldwide support, with protests against Israel in stadiums observed globally.

The "Show Israel the Red Card" campaign has received backing from fan groups in more than 30 countries, including Trkiye, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Malaysia, and Chile. Despite ongoing violence, Israel continues to participate in international sports events, facing neither sanctions nor condemnation from global sports organizations.

International sports bodies took decisive measures against Russia after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with UEFA and FIFA banning Russian teams from international competitions. In contrast, similar sanctions or condemnations have not been applied to Israel for its actions in Palestine, despite the Palestine Football Federation's request to suspend Israel from tournaments.
