End the GAA's sponsor deal with Allianz
.png)
The GAA needs to end its title partnership with German insurance provider Allianz.
Allianz is the largest insurer of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit systems, who have been the manufacturer for the weapons used in Israel's genocide in Gaza, in which up to 300,000 people have been murdererd by Israel, and its illegal occupation in the West Bank in Palestine and the Golan Heights in Syria.
Allianz claims that it cares about the children of Ireland, and their involvement in sport. However, Israel has killed over 400 athletes and at least 18,000 children (probably way more according to Lancet figures).
It is for this reason that the GAA is complicit in the genocide in Gaza by allowing the partnership with Allianz to go ahead. This is a blatant act of sportswashing which needs calling out and dealing with.
I ask anyone sharing this petition to tag your local clubs, your county board, the GAA itself, and anyone you know with an audience, so this can be seen by as many people as possible.

Why is this important?
Article III of the genocide convention makes it a crime to be complicit in the crime of genocide. This makes Allianz in breach of international law.
Article I states that governments have a responsibility to prevent and punish genocide. This makes the Irish Government responsible for punishing these companies in breach of the Genocide Convention eg Allianz.
The GAA cutting ties with Allianz will send out a massive statement that the GAA will not be complicit in genocide.
