Conor McGregor Rips Pro-Hamas and Pro-Hezbollah Demonstrators in Ireland
Mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor has taken to social media to express his outrage over a rally in Ireland where pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah demonstrators raised the flags of the terrorist organizations. The rally took place as Hamas released four female hostages as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.
McGregor, known for his bold and outspoken personality, wrote on X, “To raise the flag of a terrorist organization on Irish soil must become a major crime in the eyes of our state. It will not be tolerated nor lauded! Raise a country flag, off your own person, and off of government buildings, yes, no problem. Raise the flag of radicalized terror organizations off of the same… Big problem.”
Meanwhile, McGregor’s rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, praised Ireland for being a strong supporter of Palestine, saying, “I know this is not my time to talk, I just want to say one thing. With all the things between me and [Conor McGregor] when we were fighting. Don’t forget, Ireland is the biggest supporter in the world for Palestine. Don’t forget about this. We love you guys! You, your government, everybody.”
The controversy comes as Israel and Hamas reached a deal to release hostages and allow Palestinians to return to the Gaza Strip.
