To be disgusted that Iranian dissidents are being branded "filthy Zionists" in London rally

This thread is about Iran, not Gaza even though it has been mentioned in passing.

Yep. Hamas are murdering bastards. The Iranian regime are murdering bastards. The Israeli government are murdering bastards. Could go on.
if the purpose of the OP is to express solidarity with the Iranian people then fair play. If it’s to discourage people from speaking out against the genocide in Gaza then absolutely shameful!

Well said

Anyone who thinks Hamas cares about Palestinians and wants to protect them is utterly deluded. Hamas must be pissing themselves laughing at all the westerners falling hook line and sinker for their hateful propaganda playing the victim

They are all EQUALLY evil inhuman slime because human lives have equal value regardless of nationality, skin colour or religion.

Which is why Hamas, who used aid money to build terror tunnels that were deliberately set around civilian structures and held hostages and weapons in homes and hospitals to increase the death count among their own civilians for exploitation, and who, on the first day of the ceasefire, dragged a load of people out of their homes to shoot them in the head, really are the most evil inhuman slime.

And yet all these marches calling to free Palestine never say a word about it.

Killing innocent civilians is wrong whether they are Iranian, Palestinian or any other nationality for that matter (the list of examples is depressing long).

Apparently one ofvthe jurors emailed the judge saying they could see posters which were displayed by pro Pal supporters. The police just took them down, but its jury tampering surely?

About the verdict on the recent court case.

We have let out police officers down, many of whom put their lives at risk every day. To see obvious assault go unpunished is a fanning indictment of our legal system.

The problem in my view is the jury system and the ability to pick unbiased jurors. With our system of unrecorded jury debates (which is fair) the ability of maybe a couple of biased people in the jury is enough to overturn jurys. In this case it probably was the case that people with staunch pro pal views were on the jury and made the trial not about British law but about a foreign conflict.

Maybe we need jury selection as in the US?

Yep!

And let’s not forget that one of Iran’s biggest oil customers is…Russia!
Therefore, anyone supporting the current Iranian regime is also supporting Putin’s monstrous bloodbath in Ukraine,

Absolutely, and there are clearly people who don't realise that. It isn't enough to keep their own people under a boot, they facilitate Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah to emiserate those outside their borders too.

The thing is, they are SO hateful, they don’t care

They don’t care that their demonstrations are terrifying Jewish people and are full of antisemitic imagery and language.

They think they are above the law, above being decent humans and it’s so very clear now how few shots they give about Palestinians

The brave women-led revolution is absolutely awe inspiring, and I genuinely can’t think of any other reason why someone would object to it unless they:

1. Hate Jews, and/or
2. Hate women

Because it is, and always was, about hating Jews.
The radio silence over Iran is SO telling.
The more time goes on the less I believe the often trotted out mantra of “Anti-Israel isn’t antisemitism”. Because you have don’t have to chip away for long to find anti-Jewish sentiments.

I also have never heard a reasonable explanation as to what is wrong with Zionism. It’s simply the belief that Jewish people have the right to a state of their own in their ancestral homeland. You know, like Muslims do (55 states). Or Christians (15 states)

I think the most hysterically ironic aspect of the Pro-Pal movement is non native Americans frothing at the mouth about settlers.

People opposing the brave Iranians repulse me in a physical way. These people are not compatible with a modern democracy.

The Iranian regime has long supported Hezbollah, Hamas etc and exported terrorism to other regions.

Indeed. I thought it was a disgraceful verdict, bearing in mind the attack was videoed iirc.

I do too but sadly some are so indoctrinated they won't change. As an example see the jury who found the Palestine Action activists not guilty yesterday. I cannot believe they voted this unless they were influenced by all the anti Israeli rhetoric that blights our news and social media.

It's unsurprising sadly that Pro-Pali terrorist supporters, also support the Iranian regime, who fund the terrorist groups. Unsurprisingly, but deeply disturbing.

I hope anyone who supports the 'Pro Pali' cause is woken up by exactly what they are supporting today.

Thank you. I couldn't put it better myself.

I'm half Jewish is the modern equivalent of 'lots of my friends are black.'

Even if that were true, it still doesn't excuse your open hatred.

You refer to the Zionist entity, you abhor what Israel is doing, but you have no such vitriolic language for the Iranian regime and wish the sanctions would be lifted.

You've told us everything we need to know about you.
