      So many ways to answer that without being facetious. It may be a bit of a gamble to take a stand, but it would show how strongly they feel about the genocide. Unless they are genuinely just worried about the anti-Semitic comments. Having others take a stand behind/beside them, may mean there is no fine to pay, or there will be enough support to help pay the fine. Unfortunately only one way to find out. My money would be that others would have taken a stance with Ireland. But as it is, nobody stood. The Irish team seen to have just taken offence to being called anti-semitic.
