<title>Stop the Game: An Evening of Solidarity with Palestine @ Liberty Hall</title>
<link>https://forsatradeunion.newsweaver.com/s4x5drwuyc/lxa5nnd4o5g?lang=en&amp;rss=true</link>
<description>Comrade,



Our friends in the Trade Union Friends of Palestine (TUFP) and SIPTU are hosting an evening of solidarity with Palestine from 6pm, on Friday 25th September.



Come along to Liberty Hall, for an evening of Palestinian culture, solidarity and song featuring guest performers and a special screening of the feature film Palestine 36.



The event will also be the final rally of the Stop the Game campaign ahead of the Ireland–Israel football match on Sunday, 27th September.



Despite public outcry, the game is due to go ahead in Hungary.



Fórsa official and chair of TUFP, Paul MacSweeney, said, “Irish football must not be used to sportswash the Israeli government’s actions. The Irish people have made clear their solidarity with Palestine and revulsion at the genocide in Gaza.”



“We hope you can join us in saying ‘no’ to the FAI and the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport. This game should not go ahead.” He continued.



Tickets are €10 plus booking fee. Get your tickets here [ https://forsatradeunion.newsweaver.com/s4x5drwuyc/1cvazsabyj7/external?lang=en ].



All proceeds raised from ticket sales will go directly to Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA).





In solidarity,



Fórsa campaigns team
