And if there is one thing the Israeli authorities are expert on, it's handing out a kicking when the odds in terms of numbers and firepower are firmly stacked in their favour.
Well done to the Celtic fans for showing solidarity with the Palestinians who daily suffer oppression at the hands of Israel.
Particularly well done to the Green Brigade for matching and exceeding the amount that UEFA ludicrously fined Celtic because their fans displayed Palestine flags.
As a result, Medical Aid Palestine which delivers health and medical support to those most affected by conflict, occupation and displacement, and the Lajee Centre, a cultural and sports project for children in Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, are now £130,000 better off between them.
The Celtic fans were right to show solidarity with the Palestinians to start with. Their action in sticking two fingers up to the ludicrous and corrupt UEFA who fined their club because the fans displayed a flag which is acceptable at the Olympics, and in so doing raising a huge amount for Palestinian charities, is admirable beyond belief.
