Conor McGregor Slams Pro-Hamas and Pro-Hezbollah Demonstrators in Ireland
UFC star Conor McGregor has come out strongly against pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah demonstrators who raised the terrorist groups’ flags in a rally in Ireland. McGregor’s social media post was made as Hamas released four female hostages as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.
In his post, McGregor wrote, “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.”
McGregor’s remarks were met with praise from Irish citizens, who expressed their support for the fighter’s stance. In contrast, Khabib Nurmagomedov, one of McGregor’s biggest rivals, praised Ireland for being pro-Palestinian.
The controversy comes as Israel and Hamas reached a deal to release hostages and allow Palestinians to return to the Gaza Strip.
