Can Celtic sue the IDF for defamation or something? This seems like a gross misuse of copyright at least.

Just to clarify a little. It was the Celtic supporters who raised the money after UEFA fined the club for the fans waving Palestinian flags at a European game.

By the way I was one of those who donated.

Did you fundraise for the IDF to build tank berms on the pitch?

Inadvertently through paying taxes, quite likely. Like all of us.
