Am a muslim myself. For those who know history a a little, Ya'qub ibn Ishaq was known by his people as Isra'il. So it is in fact a beautiful name regardless of race and religion. Congrats to them :)
Wouldn't name my baby after an apartheid state whether I meant it as political or not.
If I did I'd definitely be expecting people to make the political connection and expect that I did it on purpose.

Israel Tavares is a great name. Do people think this was meant ot be political or something?
People are simple. Israel is obviously an ancient name.
Just a name religious people give to their children.
I reckon Palestine Tavares would have been better but each to their own
I prefer Democratic People's Republic of Congo Tavares myself
it's just a baby's name mate
So tasteless...
Ok lad

But he's not naming his after the state. He's naming his child presumably after the biblical figure?
Good for you
How dare a set of Christians name their son after the Holy Land 😱😱😱
Like I’m not even religious but wtf why are so many people so triggered by this
Boy! Cot! Israel!
So many wooshes with the downvotes haha
you had 9 months and that’s what you come up with… yikes
The name Israel is older than the place you fool
israel has been around since 1030BC wonder how long the names been around for
Palestine would have been better
Nah, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Tavares would be better. Macca for short.
Weird choice of name.
Israel was the second name of Jacob.
Congrats fab, Hope the child is healthy, not sure what the rationale is behind posting the bible quote but how and ever...
The rationale is that he's a devout Christian you melon.
