What’s your prediction of the next cause the ‘activists’ are going to move into, after Gaza?

For someone who couldn't give a toss about Israel or any middle eastern politics beyond women's rights in Afghanistan you post a fair bit on this forum denying the genocide in Gaza and complaining about Mnet not deleting the posts where it's discussed.

Dear me! I couldn't give a toss about Israel or any middle eastern politics beyond women's rights in Afghanistan etc. I do care about facts though. An independent committee who says eg a fertility clinic in the bombing zone means Israel committed genocide by restricted births is just sheer nonsense. It really is. And of course people are scared and unhappy and at risk during wartime, it's terrible but that's not genocide either. The same would apply to Palestine's actions and with credible evidence but I guarantee they'd be up in arms if there was a committee for it. I can't really believe I'm having to argue this.

It is genocide. I can't believe you are denying genocide because Israel are responsible.🤯

I and the OP can see why people would protest against digital ID. What is the rationale behind thinking people will protest for it? Why would they need to when its government policy?

They'll probably just stick to Gaza for a while longer, it's the current omnicause fixation. I'll tell you one thing they'll never protest in favour of if the rabble I had the misfortune to be caught up in have any say - more soap.

In all seriousness though, I feel a shudder of revulsion every time someone says genocide about what was a fairly minor war with a relatively low number of deaths. It's so offensive and trivialises actual genocides that are going on now. But then there are an awful lot of words being used as the complete opposite of what they mean. Like peaceful for the hate marches, or anti-racist.

Yes, but what will unite the Muslim world now?
And nothing is as romantic as the Palestinian struggle agaisnt colonialism, imperialism and oppression (but limited only to that where Israel is involved) for the far left (because we all know Jews zionists are rich capitalist shylocks and control the world as per the protocols of the elders of zion)

Let's face it the majority of the British people are heartily sick of protests against Israel interminably filling up our British streets. The protests now just seen to be a way of working up Jew hate and the Jewish community have felt their pleas for these things to stop unheard even after the horrendous events in Manchester.

There is a ceasefire now so let's support it and the efforts of the US et. al. by piping down a bit.

The protesters could all just go the pub?

I agree with your comments about protesting for digital I’D. The OP asked what the next cause would be. Not what we thought the next cause should be.

The pro hamas protests were mostly attended by those who go with the latest fashion rather than deeper beliefs. We can all agree that a ceasefire is a good thing,

I think pro digital ID and support for net zero will be the next fashionable causes.

The Islamic State

They'll keep banging on about Gaza as the ceasefire won't last for too long. Hamas will break it, Israel will retaliate and we'll get all the wailing and gnashing of teeth at those horrible Je... ahem, "Israelis" once again.

Sorry, I thought you were agreeing with this post.

That's rubbish. Why would you tell yourself such lies?

Why would anyone protest for digital ID? Can you hear yourself?😵‍💫

@Booklovver like Niyak Ghorbani? Did you see what happened to him?

I think it’s common knowledge the pro-pally marchers have zero interest in Gazans, the Iranian regime, Ukraine or anything that isn’t wiping Jews off the face of the earth.

Why don’t you start your own protest, and I am sure people will join you.

Totally agree. The hair dye brigade used to march round Bath on a Saturday morning, chanting about rivers to sea and beating a drum, whilst expecting people to get out of their way.
Achieved absolutely nothing towards peace.

I think it sounds like a person who knows from history that this so called peace deal will be extremely short lived unless we get regime changes both sides.

It’s unbelievable that people are ok with this

What rubish.

What good do you think marching in London is doing exactly? That’s right. None.

The only thing these protesters are is virtue signallers or thugs. Take yer pick.

There is absolutely nothing to be achieved by protesting to “free Palestine” or whichever country it is they might protest about next when they’re doing it in London. Or do you think that the Israeli government are out there thinking “there was a protest in London on Saturday, a few thousand people were there. Terrifying. We’d better declare a ceasefire.”?

For the UK protesters, I'd like to see the same level of focus on the Iranian role. There has been really minimal public understanding of their role for decades in funding and guiding terrorism in the middle east and beyond.

If you read any of the "sentiment" surveys then you'll see how people's understanding of, and attitude towards, Israel has changed - worldwide. People know more about Israel as a state. This will have a long term impact. Hopefully such groups can do the same for Iran?

For the other Gaza protesters who want to annex it and remove Palestinians. They'll just have to carry on as best they can. They are in government, and have very large support in Israel. www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2025/08/right-wing-israeli-settlers-annex-gaza/683776/
