I see the BBC called him Liam O'Hanna, when his name is Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh. But there you go, BBC seem to pick and choose which cultures they respect.
Good old BBC one-sided editorial control.

Living in a country where opposing genocide can be a criminal offence, but supporting and even participating in it is perfectly legal is quite an experience.

Yes your government is doing that, but also a majority of Lebanese and Syrians hate that flag for obvious reasons.

No atrocity negates or justifies another.
