To think that antisemitism now needs to be tackled in the strongest possible way?

And Israel will be on the right side of history. The kidnapping, atrocities, butchery, rape and killing on October 7 is carved into the collective memory of every Jew, with the exception of a minority of self haters.

Try telling that to the Department of Hamasbara.

History tells the truth in the long haul.

Oh wow I thought this was sarcasm! That is the silliest thing I’ve seen today. A day that I’ve spent far too much time fighting with strangers online.

Genuinely do you think this? Do you think antisemitism sprang out of nowhere as soon as Israel refused to let violent rapists run rampant across their entire country? Do you think things were delightful for Jews 3 or 10 or 50 or 500 years ago? And the Arab nations were welcoming and friendly since the beginning of time?

I completely disagree with this, although I do believe Israel is committing genocide. Antisemitism has roots that long pre date Israel. Like other forms of racism and xenophobia, it is irrational and feeds on myth and fear.

Israel will never be convicted of any war crime.

Ah that old nugget ! I don’t recall a spike in ‘ anti palenstinian’ hatred after they committed a genocide , in fact I remember people supporting them for it ?

I think it’s worth considering the many, many other examples of horrible things that happen in wartime. Germans bombing London. British bombing Dresden. The atomic bombs. Pearl Harbor. These are all horrible and pointless and sad but also inevitable in war. I personally would love if there was never a war again but that’s logically never going to happen. As long as we have borders and resource scarcity and anger we will have war.

You put it so much more succinctly than me 10/10!

There has been no genocide. If there had been there would be next to no Palestinians left in Gaza. Hamas are totally to blame for the deaths of civilians who they fail to protect in their miles of underground tunnels, or feed having even hoarded baby food leaving mothers and children to suffer!

And don't @ me the discredited UN or Amnesty reports. The Hamas propaganda swallowed by a number of posters on this thread and others is mind-blowing.
Don't kid yourself that antisemitism will stop any time soon. That genie is well and truly out of the bottle; again, evidence of antisemitism can be seen on threads here.

Away with you and your goady little nonsense, antisemitism will never stop because the antisemites don't really give a toss about genocide (imaginary or real), they just hate Jews.

Israel is guilty of war crimes. One day, Israeli people will need to come to terms with this. It will be a painful journey for them.

And in fact, Israel has killed many more civilians than Hamas.

Have you changed your mind about the acceptability of marching alongside people chanting support for terrorists?
Those people wave the Palestinian flag when they do it so they’re not entirely different things.

Sadly, it really isn't.

I support Israel and its right to exist. That doesn’t mean that I think every single decision its government makes is one I’d make. I also don’t love every decision the UK government makes but I still think this country should and can exist.

The difference is that even the best placards and chants aren’t ’this decision is terrible’ or ‘we need a new government’ - like the anti Trump marches or the Scotland independence marches or any number of other examples. They’re ’Israel shouldn’t exist and ‘I hope Israel’s entire army dies’. That’s… not normal.

That's just bollocks actually

Can I gently suggest you also try to seek out some alternative sources of information because your every post is steeped in the language and ideologies of IRI/Qatari/Hamas propaganda.

You are incorrect. Israel is not guilty of inhumane rights and supporters of Israel are not victims of propaganda nor deeply uncaring about human life. How very dare you? Blatant lies on your part.

I'm not talking about chanting support for terrorism, I'm talking support for palestine. The two are very different. I don't support or defend killing civilians. Which Hamas has done. And terrorists in many places have done. And Israel has done. All equally indefensible.

Why do you think that anyone concerned about people marching chanting support for terrorists on the streets of the U.K. must be Israel supporters?

Isn’t people chanting support for terrorists something any normal person would be concerned about, whatever their opinion on Israel?

Well this is why there is so much debate on the topic here. I feel that the supporters of Israel and it's appalling inhumane actions are either victims of propaganda, or are deeply uncaring about human life. I prefer to believe the first naturally.

Outside the Sydney opera house just after the genocide in Israel on ( October the 9th ) the “peaceful” protestors were calling for death to the Jews
