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

The Bondi thread in chat was eye opening.

Forty pages and a lot of it whataboutery, excuses and vile antisemitism.

It’s disgusting.

It needs to be called out. It needs to be rooted out.

I feel so sorry for the Jewish communities everywhere. How can they possibly feel safe?

There are so many people who have lost the ability to see their own behaviour clearly. A friend work colleague of DH who is very proPal put a post on Facebook to praise the Syrian shopkeeper who took a gun from one of the terrorists, but nothing else about the attack at all. Zero empathy. But he'd consider himself a really good guy.

Edited

This is what I said on the other thread; it’s frightening to think they see themselves as the good guys.

They all make me sick.

They were already screaming genocide in the days immediately after October 7th.

Exactly my point. It’s all a very well orchestrated plan to dehumanise and delegitimise the Jewish people, like the general public can’t see what they mean when they have replaced ‘Jewish’ with ‘ Zionist’ to get away with hate crimes

They were screaming Holocaust on MN and then they got told it was antisemitic and their posts kept getting deleted so they modified it to genocide.

This was before Israel had even started a ground offensive.

When on October the 8th the ‘pro Palestinians ’ were on the streets , calling to globalise the intifada, denying the genocide that has just taken place against Jews and dehumanising the Jewish people most people can see what they mean! The government has allowed this hate speech for two years and even after the Manchester synagogue terror attack they marched the day after. The left, far right, Islamists and pro pals actually take pleasure in causing as much hurt and harm they can to the Jewish people , the laugh and torment at the the suffering of the Jewish people and they had the numbers to be loud and intimidating

The problem we have is that any support for the Palestinian cause or any criticism of Netanyahu is incorrectly labelled as anti semitic. Until there is a definition of antisemitism that any reasonable person could agree with, there is no way of knowing where to start when trying to tackle it.

Also, I would never argue that no protestors were anti semitic. My argument is that protesting against Israeli war crimes is not anti semitic, and is a perfectly reasonable and indeed good thing to do.

If you think that is 'a good thing to do' you are very much mistaken.

I'll ask you, do you think there is a time when war crimes can be ignored?

Show quote history

Do you? Plenty of people seem to be able to ignore the war crimes committed by Hamas and their associated terrorist organisations- maybe you could ask them should you happen to come across anyone at your next protest shouting violent slogans that call for the end of the one tiny Jewish majority country in the world or praising organisations that would like to harm and kill Jews. I'm sure they have all the answers.

noblegiraffe · 16/12/2025 19:08

I genuinely think some people’s brains fall out when the word Palestine is used.

Israel cannot be excused for genocide, war crimes, murdering and starving children. At any time.

Show quote history

There is no genocide in Gaza.
Hamas and their supporters have managed to weaponise many emotive words and spread lies.

I think it's becoming transparent that many Liberal posters care more for their overinflated sense of self-righteousness than they do for anything else.

Edited

Indeed.

What will it take for them to examine their behaviour?

Marching against genocide is essential.

Great, so you will be marching against the other form of terrorism. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you are here.

I’m now wondering if you would march alongside them if they were chanting ‘Kill the Jews’ if chanting support for people who want to kill the Jews is ok.

Yet you will find plenty of excuses at the other end of the spectrum. So what's your point, on this particular thread?

So the next time you see people protesting against Islamic terrorism, I trust you will be doing the right thing and lending them your support. No if, buts or maybes?
