To think this attack on London Jewish schoolchildren should have been headline news

I have been waiting for this story to go mainstream, and I’m shocked that it hasn’t.

So far, it seems only the Daily Mail has reported on it - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14142235/amp/Jewish-children-terrified-thugs-London-bus-rocks-Israel.html.

When are we going to start taking the threats against Jews in the UK seriously and actually do something about it?

Thugs throw rocks at bus with Jewish children and yell 'f*** Israel'

Students at JFS in Kenton, north London, were travelling on buses operated by Uno, when the vehicles were set upon by a group of teenage thugs at a bus stop in Edgware, on Wednesday.

The children on the bus are no more responsible for any of this than the children of Gaza, in the same way that children in Dresden, London, or Hiroshima weren't responsible for the attacks on them.

You're absolutely right OP. Anti semitism is rife, already exemplified by this thread. What have we become?

I think, very sadly, it could encourage copy-cat attacks if its discussed widely.

I agree or stir things up even more.

Disgusting. Hate breeds hate. That is why we are in this awful situation.
The poor children in Gaza will not get a better situation because so bigot in the UK scares children.

And what do these school children in the UK have to do with what’s happening in Palestine?

I think the first response should not be deleted so people can see and remember the poster is a vile twat. For future references. Edit to add, and the one just above me

Because attack children is a sure way to make sure they don't grow up up believing they are hated and lead to radicalisation.

All children deserve to be able to attend school safely.

ThatShyRoseViper · 04/12/2024 08:13

What a depressing first response. A demonstration of exactly why this sort of thing is happening to children who have nothing whatsoever to do with the situation in the Middle East.

I can only hope the under-reporting is a conscious decision to avoid copycats/escalation.

Fuck me, that’s your take on this? Kids who’ve likely been nowhere near Palestine and have no part in the horrific events going on there are attacked as they leave school, purely because of their religion and your response is ‘I’m sure they’ll get over it’. What’s wrong with you?

The children in the bus are in no way responsible for the actions of a foreign government - you are engaging in false equivalence and anti-semitism
