In fairness though I could be wrong but you get a feel for the names of posters who blame anything and everything on Jews worldwide.

Yes - some people live in such a bubble that the most outrageous antisemitism has come to seem normal to them. They don’t recognise it anymore.

I think - in fairness- there are a huge number of these threads at the moment. I wouldn’t have created this if I’d realised.
Having said that - if posters find it all a bit repetitive they can easily stop reading and switch to another topic.

Why are you questioning it.
I take it you are not Jewish so it doesn’t affect you and you don’t care.

Quite right, I live in North London with a big Jewish community and all my Jewish friends, without exception, are of the same view.

Thanks for speaking against the rampant gaslighting that criticising the Israel government somehow makes you antisemitic.

Yes sure you are.

No. I think the actions of the Israeli government are threatening the safety of Jews worldwide.

I am Jewish. I voted Green today.

Oh come on. If British citizens are believed to be responsible for the actions of a government thousands of miles away they didn’t vote for something is seriously wrong. Wrong with the people who believe such a stupid thing. Just as stupid as people justifying Islamophobia referencing the Taliban or Boko Haram.

This thread again?! I’m sure we’ve had this several times already haven’t we? Or it just feels like that 🤔

There’s a reason the phrase “turkeys voting for Christmas” exists…

Israel. Not Jews. Israel. Not the same thing. Also the media and politicians who constantly insist they are the same. Which is part of the actual legal definition of antisemitism

Can you give one example of a politician or the media saying that British Jews and Israel are the same?

No one ever said criticising Israeli government makes you antisemitic. Israelis do it all the time 😀

And anyway that's not what the op said.

Im still waiting for an explanation of the Holocaust. Was that the israeli government too?

Do you do the same for all the other forms of racist attacks? Who’s responsible for them? ISIS? The taliban? Narendra Modi? The Nigerian government? Kanye?

Or is other racism down to racists and racist parties?

So what caused the Holocaust? Was that the actions of the israel government?

Can you give me one example of the media (or "political class") conflating British Jews and Israel?

And can you explain why the Rohingya massacre by Buddhists didnt lead to attacks on Buddhists? And why have no Russians been stabbed on the streets of London due to the actions of the Russia government

Too little too late. I've experienced first hand those appalling "pro Palestine" marches, they are vile, aggressively anti-semitic, they have made me ashamed of London. And the police do nothing.

Me too. I’ve been caught up in them and one of them spotted my Star of David necklace. It was really unpleasant.

So Jews are to blame for the rise in antisemitism?

I'm assuming this one is also sarcastically paraphrasing the insunation behind the pp's post. At least, I'm hoping that's the case!!

Yea. I was torn between that and “do it to Julia”.
