Some people are so obsessed with 'supporting the underdog', no matter the situation, that they cannot accept/admit the underdog ever does anything wrong.

It reminds me of the Swedish(?) woman who was raped by an immigrant but decided to blame a local man instead, because reporting the poor ickle immigrant would be mean and racist and unfair on him.

Thank you for your support @LucyWestenra

Always.

The fact that so many of you feel the need to hide your religion/ heritage saddens and angers me in equal measures (I saw the latest Sky News report)

In my FB feed, the people who deny or minimise the sexual violence that was a deliberate part of the October massacres, seem to be the same people who are telling me that most women in Iran are happy to have their hair covered ; that the numbers of protesters shot by the regime have been grossly exaggerated and that the protests were orchestrated by Mossad!

Unbelievable!

It beggars belief.

I don’t know what’s wrong with people, I really don’t.

Can’t they engage their brain? Or, more importantly, feel any compassion?

Their absolute hatred for Jewish people seems to override everything and it’s beyond disgusting and terrifying.

Well, I will call it out every single time.

I’ve been absent on here for a while due to mental health struggles, but I’m back now and I will always stand up for the Jewish community and if posters want to abuse me for that, they can go ahead.

I just wish those who voted IABU would at least have the courage of their convictions and tell us why they think so.

The only reason those morons are in is they actively campaigned for the Muslim vote by (rightly or wrongly) smearing Reform as racist.

Couldn’t agree more.

I read the article and was absolutely and totally appalled. What on earth is wrong with some people. I hope she gets excoriated for this.

Unfortunately, as you can see on here all the time, there are apologists aplenty.

Useful idiots. Enablers of terrible behaviour. I hope these people are the first to feel the heat if at some point in the future the Islamists come to power.

I am still awaiting the inevitable’The Daily Heil? Don’t you have a credible source?’

Left wing groups all seem.to support Palestine and Hamas and be against Israelis. It doesn't suprise me at all.

It’s bizarre when you think about it because Hamas’ views on LGBTQ for instance would most certainly not align with the left parties’ views.

She is an absolute disgrace to women everywhere, especially those Israeli women who have told the world about their rapes and sexual abuse both on October 7 and when they were held hostage. 😡

She absolutely is a disgrace.

Hamas must be thanking their lucky stars for useful idiots like her.
