Sir, – Tim MacDougald (“Ireland-Israel fixtures”, Letters, September 24th) suggests we play at Old Trafford to display pictures of the 74,000 Palestinian victims of this dreadful conflict.

How about somewhere bigger so we can also include the 1,200 victims of the Hamas attack of October 7th, or do Jewish lives not count? – Yours, etc
