AIBU to think this Green Party response raises antisemitism concerns?

Oh do have a think about your last question, put it in the context of recent events and then try again.

Until you can manage that, stop wasting my time.

Questioning the media reporting to what end? Whats your point about it?

I think the third attack has been mentioned much less than the other two. I also think that people seem to be scrabbling about looking for reasons to moan about the Greens and Zack Polanski. If you don’t like them, don’t vote for them, but don’t bleat about spurious things which appear to many to be a completely legitimate concern. Anyone would think it is an orchestrated campaign against a minority party which might take some votes from the mainstream.

Nobody is trying to deflect from the attack. They are questioning the media reporting style.

They just lie don't they? The third victim was mentioned extensively in the media.

Though the two Jewish victims got more publicity, only because they were attacked purely on antisemitic grounds whereas the other attack had a more personal motive.

Nobody is implying either of those things.

I’ll raise another point for you then - there was a former synagogue that was attacked. Former being the key word here - it had been disused since 2020 and there have been attempts from a Muslim organisation to purchase it.

This is being reported as a hate crime - why? Is it not more likely that this is just mindless vandalism?

But the fact the man (I also think this is a key feature) was happy to stab his Muslim friend makes stabbing those of a different faith, less about faith/culture and more he’s a violent moron.

When does asking a question become anti Semitic ? Zack/Dave is himself Jewish.
Is my post Anti Semitic?

It seems as though people are very happy to erase his identity as a Jewish man because they don’t like what he says about Israel.

I did not say he was antisemitic

i said that he plays into antisemitism to gain votes

Oh you know him personally. You should have said, it sheds a whole new light on your posts.

Everyone is. He isn’t antisemitic, for fucks sake. He raised a perfectly valid point. He is being smeared because he is anti-Israel.

To be honest, there isn’t a single thing about the Greens which makes them appear normal or rational.

They all seem like misfits and outcasts who don’t fit into society, have created their own cult and somehow duped the naive annd sheltered into thinking they know what they are talking about.

Erm, that’s not what I’ve said?

I never once said whether the attacks were antisemitic or not - they’ve not been mentioned at all. I said what isn’t antisemitism is Zach calling out the hypocrisy in the media. Refusing to mention a Muslim victim is pretty disgusting, like it or not.

The cartoon on the left is the one I’m referring to. Very reminiscent of the anti semitic cartoons published in the 1940s. But because you don’t like Zach’s political beliefs I’m guessing that’s okay?

If you conflate supporting Palestine with being anti-Semitic, yes. It seems as though many people do.

Not sure who is managing to erase his identity as a Jewish man

I understand why people are questioning why a Jewish man is playing to antisemitism to gain votes

It seems as though people are very happy to erase his identity as a Jewish man because they don’t like what he says about Israel.

Concern about antisemitism in mainstream politics is described by you as "bleating". Have a think about why that might be.

Isn’t this exactly how they ousted Corbyn from Labour when he was high in the polls? It’s interesting how anyone perceived as a threat to the mainstream gets this slung at them.

The Times cartoon rehashed antisemitic images. I’d say it was antisemitic, but I also think those images are so ingrained some people don’t spot them. (After all lifelong antiracist Jezza couldn’t spot them in a massive mural).

The attack in Golders Green was antisemitic and anyone deflecting that by talking about a separate assault carried out by the attacker on an acquaintance probably needs to ask themselves what they’re hoping to achieve.

Far right tactics. Tell lies, repeat lies until the truth doesn't matter any more. Trump does it to an extreme degree.

I'm certain I'm not talking to a human being in good faith here. Just a bot or shill repeating the conspiracy theory that only attack on Jews are reported, the implication being that we own the media.
