    For a while it was all people wanted to talk about in regards to him.

    My words weren't best put, and aye I know. But, he should never have been allowed to set foot in our stadium, with the blood of Palestinian children on his hands.

    Aren't Israelis pretty much forced into the IDF?

    They can refuse national service and incur a prison sentence and shaming. I would rather spend a time inside and be 'shamed' than support the systematic genocide and maintain a far right apartheid state which should never exist.

    I'd like to think I'd do that as well but that's easy enough to say sitting beside a laptop in Glasgow.

    @Deco67 Aye because you weren't raised in Israel as a Jew.

    It is completely impossible to say what you would do in his shoes so there's no point even discussing it.

    Celtic is a club for all. Whatever your stance is on Israel/Palestine, shouldn't factor into what you think of the player. Its not as if he's specifically supporting ISIS or the KKK. He was to an extent, a product of where he was born, and he did what numerous others in his country are expected to do. Think its harsh to completely slam a player based on something like that.

    Feel its quite petty to hate a guy because his roots etc. a lot of countries still have Conscription. Its a bit petty to hate Bitton but not Kayal because Kayal was able to avoid conscription.

    Would we show Sinclair the door if he was required to do military service in the British army

    If I remember correctly the discussion on here was about his social media posts in support of the IDF rather than his conscription into it. There is a definite distinction to be made there.

    Don't know anything about him off the field, but I'm not a huge fan of him on it, slows the play down too much in my opinion :shamrock:
