Could Zack Polanski be any more of an obnoxious twat?

Ok. That’s fine. What part of “that’s nice dear” says it not?

its a difference of opinion on views about the trans issue

This is specifically about Polanski, the Greens and antisemitism. Some posters are bringing other minority groups into the discussion, not to develop and explain, but quite the opposite.
I think it's entirely possible to be very concerned about both Reform and the Greens and how they are exploiting racism.

That’s nice dear.

I do care about women’s rights being a woman myself

but I am not feeling the treat of the trans issue as some are and it’s not my most concerning issue, it’s way down the list

so I shall continue to vote Labour

Which nobody has done in any of the threads that go around in circles!

There is no hierarchy of racism, I agree absolutely 100% .
Which is why it is wrong to dismiss, deny or minimise antisemitism.

I'm not putting this here to bait anyone, nor am I remotely interested in having any sort of debate - because a few of you have created an echo chamber here and there is zero point.

I just need to say this. There are some comments on here which I feel are unacceptable and not reflective of how many people feel - although I expect that a lot of people would not want to wade in to say anything for fear of being shouted down or accused of something that they are not doing.

• It is NOT a blood libel to suggest there is a genocide in Gaza, Lebanon or anywhere else that is being attacked by the Israeli government.
• It is okay to be Jewish and Anti-Zionist. It is just as valid for Jewish people (whether that is defined by their ethnicity, religion or both) to hold their own views. That does NOT make them "self-hating", it means that they have a differing opinion to some of the people shouting loudly on here. It is not okay to police other people's values or opinions. They are not less of a Jew that you are (I mean you if you are reading this and shaking your head in disagreement!)
• This attempted hierarchy of racism is totally unacceptable. Again, nobody should be making sweeping statements that one group is more persecuted that another group. That is not only nonsensical but also extremely upsetting and triggering for people to read. A man has just been jailed for life for following and brutally raping a woman based on her skin colour and because he thought she was a Muslim.

If the same people insist on dragging what they believe to be antisemitism onto AIBU, please be ready to accept that the idea of it is that you are inviting opinions - and that it is fine to disagree. Nobody should be made to feel that they can't because they might be piled on.

Some of you can do a lot better, in my opinion.

And don’t vote Labour or Tory if you care about women’s rights. So no party is worthy to run the country really.

^ this

it couldn’t not be clearer

It's quite straightforward: don't vote Green or Reform if you care about racism.

Make it make sense!

So hold on, antisemitism is bad if reform do it, but it’s ok if the Green Party do it because…. Why? Or are you trying to distract from the absolute sheer disgusting comment of the Green Party by “noooo don’t look at them, look at reform, they’re worse?

Can you link to some examples of these calls for violence @Summerhillsquare

There has been no genocide in Gaza. That is a blood libel and it is antisemitic.

And BNP members being "proud of their country" isn't racist, but we know in both cases members' views are often more extreme than these bland sanitised statements.

Being anti-Israel and criticising genocide in Gaza is not being antisemitic

What an odd and puerile non response.

Why should I be crying?

Green MP Hannah Spencer was on Question Time tonight and, frankly, she comes across as thick.

Politics as slogans and chants and badges. Simplistic and foolish.

Absolutely. It's shocking. I can't believe it's happening in this country, with people justifying and minimising it. Those of us who aren't Jewish need to step up and make sure it's constantly challenged.
What's that phrase about evil succeeding because good people do nothing?.

It's also vile that people either make excuses for antisemitism and violence against Jewish people in this country or pretend it isn't happening. The facts speak for themselves.

What happened in Gaza has sod all to do with British Jews and everything to do with plain and simple hatred. Shame on those who minimise, excuse or whataboutery their hatred.

Yes.

It’s not just stupidity.’

Its the militant, unapologetic stupidity that has its roots in the general dumbing down of everything, tolerated, accepted and indulged.

Everything now needs to be brought down to the lowest common denominator.
