inb4 "based Irish": Ryanair are a corporation and not cool enough to boycott Israel on principle; there's some other reason

The only reason is Irish is because of tax status.

Are you saying "The only reason RYANAIR is Irish is because of tax status" ?

It was founded by Irish people. It initially only operated Irish flights.

Ok, well, so that people reading know, that's disinformation.

It didn't offer non-Irish flights for its first 13 years.

It's not an offshore company.

Yeah no, Michael O'Leary has as much in common with James Connolly as Elon Musk does with Nelson Mandela.

yeah lol, Connolly was based and a member of the IWW (join, maybe?), while O'Leary literally called for the army to get involved in a strike. Different on many levels.
