Irish footballer kisses black armband after scoring third goal over Israel
Fifteen uploads, one busy Monday. All six of the most watched went up on the same day, and two of them came out of a single football match.
Ireland beat Israel 3-0 in the Nations League, and the Irish players wore black armbands for the lives lost in Gaza. The clip of Jack Moylan lifting and kissing his after the third goal has the biggest total of the week. A companion piece shows right-wing activist Yoseph Haddad leading "IDF" chants after the loss, drawing a far smaller crowd.
The quickest mover is diplomacy. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking to NBC News, calls war "not a solution" while saying Iran is "fully prepared" should it resume, and that clip is gathering views faster than anything else on the channel. Ed Miliband's Labour conference speech, where the Foreign Secretary told critics of the party's Palestine policy "you were right," comes third. Further down sits a Real Talk interview with Avi Shlaim, the Oxford historian born into an Arab Jewish family in Baghdad.
Among the bigger news broadcasters, Associated Press and FRANCE 24 English are running well above their usual pace, while Guardian News is quieter. Middle East Eye sits seventh of nine by subscribers.
