Here are some of the comments online ..
He was on Ryan Tubridys Book Club podcast awhile back saying how upset he was at the scenes coming out of Gaza. Fucking hypocrite.
Why is everyone so surprised, the clue is in his wife’s surname. Has a genuine connection to the Jewish community, doesn’t mean he supports the horrific genocide happening in Gaza as we speak! I imagine he would be mortified to think the Irish believe he supports murdering babysALL cybersecurity & defense firms in the West have some sort of connection to the Israeli military ffs ! This isn’t some major league sleuthing “discovery”. Next up : Brian O’Driscoll speaks at Boeing. Shock horror !!
Really scraping the barrel now, going after private citizens. Can everyone expect your curtain twitching telltales hiding around corners when they’re trying to earn a living. Memories of the pandemic come to mind! State of you!
Good on you Brian, fearless on and off the pitch.
Ahh lads cmon
